  • I’ve worked in IT for over 26 years, have my own Plex server in my home (that’s also connected directly to the TV in my living room via HDMI), and own and use several laptops.

    Still, I’ve “bought” a number of movies from Microsoft largely thanks to the fact that I can sync them to multiple services using Movies Anywhere and because they were basically “free” to me because Microsoft kept giving me $5 gift cards randomly for a while there and I couldn’t think of anything better to use them on at the time.

    I’d still be upset if they suddenly decided to yank those titles out of my library even though I don’t really rely on them as my only option to watch those films.












  • Depends on the size of the house and the water needs.

    I installed a totally electric tankless water heater made by a reputable manufacturer in my home on my own 11 years ago and just wired in a new 40 amp 220V breaker into the panel to support it.

    It was actually very easy and plenty adequate for the water usage in a 2 bed / 1 bath home (including kitchen usage) for a 2 adult and 2 child household.

    For more bathrooms or occupants it might be more difficult, expensive, or rare but in my case I did the whole job myself for under $350 including everything… But again, it was 11 years ago so I’d expect prices to be a bit higher
