By premium I mean invite only or some sort of fee for screened quality torrents, tpb was never but I just use it because I haven’t checked anything else in awhile.

I’ll check out the megathread.

 

What are some good premium torrent sites for movies and tv? Do those still exist or is piratebay the main site?

 

Hello everyone, is there any cable that I can buy that is female usb c to male usb c? I have a steam deck dock and would like to be able to also plug my laptop in to it by use of a usb c extension cable that can carry video. Does such a thing exist?

This guide has helped me achieve what you are looking for in virtmanager. I haven’t used proxmox before, maybe there is a similar guide or similar settings apply, but this may at least be a good start.

I agree with you, Amazon seems to be designed to make it feel like there are not better options when there definitely are better options.

Yes I was thinking about the fast shipping and most things that I would need I can get locally. To offset shipping times I can just order earlier, and it’s not like any emergency items that I trust would be on Amazon

 

With all of the sketchy products Amazon has and their bad practices, I’m really considering getting rid of Amazon. The only thing I will really miss is the fast shipping.

My reasoning is that I don’t use Prime benefits outside of shipping because I don’t play live service games anymore, and lots of local stores price match.

For those of you who have ditched Amazon(or not), what’s your reasoning and advice?

Any input is appreciated, thank you.

I believe it’s dehydrated, and these are fine for human consumption.

You could get powdered eggs if you want something easy to store that you dont have to worry about for a longer time.

 

Hello everyone, I am looking for a good router/modem combo or router that will work with wrt. Looking for something with 2.5gbps ethernet and fast wireless speeds that can be found online at Best Buy or similar stores.

Any reccomendations are appreciated, thanks!

I am unsure of the warranty process with WD but my guess is that it is past warranty if you bought it third party. Highly reccomend not using eBay or Amazon for important things since there seem to be lots of reviews of people receiving returned products or having to jump through hoops with the manufacturer.

As an alternative I would reccomend places like Bestbuy or Newegg from now on. In the meantime, I’ve heard eBay has a good return policy through paypal but cannot verify, you may be anle to at least get your money back. If you send it to the manufacturer and they refurbish or replace it they should stand by their warranty with the replacement as well.

I understand wanting to be frugal but for a lot of things you rely on they should not be third party. Also the Best Buy I go to has a price match with Amazon, so they may match eBay, worth a shot.
