cyberpunk007, 10 months ago to canada in Streaming services are getting more expensive — and experts say higher prices are here to stay

I think it’s still cheaper than cable, but I haven’t ever paid for cable. Of those that I know do, I think it’s still around $40/mo for basic services is it not?

Netflix for me is 16.50, disney+ is 9.99, prime I don’t count because I pay for that for fast shipping. So 26.49 a month for my services.

Teksavvy has basic cable with 40 channels and ads for 20/mo. For 6.49 more per month I get no ads and watch on demand of tons more stuff. I don’t get this argument, I think streaming is still cheaper. But it’s not really apples to apples.

Only reason I don’t is because:

1. nvidia just works better on linux. Well… I heard that’s changed so this may no longer be relevant
2. I don’t think AMD GPUs work well compared to nVidia with Davinci Resolve
3. DLSS/Ray Tracing. Even though I never use ray tracing because even the first card with it couldn’t handle it 😅

If I forget my ad blocker or anything, the moment I see an ad on YouTube and I see “ad x/3” with like a 30-60s timer on it I just close the tab and move on. Fuck ads.

cyberpunk007, 10 months ago to asklemmy in Is using a swap partition (on linux) bad for an SSD's lifetime?

Exactly. I think I’m still running my original SSD. I had only one die and it was definitely an issue with the disk, not the writes, since it lasted only a year.
