We are living in the state of Fuck it.

pretty much sums it all up right there.

no surprise. people are using phones more, and tablets/chromebooks, too, to a lesser extent. there's a lot of folks here that only use their phones now.

all sorts of reasons why people are dumping their windows pc.. but microsoft has yet to come up with a good reason why they should keep them or upgrade. none. not a single one.

that is true. normal sliced american cheese melts better than cheddar or other real cheese.

the cheap individually-wrapped 'singles' melt even easier.. like velveeta does.

i don't deep dive into it enough to be a 'nerd', but i've been using some form or another since the early days of slack and debian.

even though it had shipped with windows, the installer would not detect my ssd for whatever reason.

bios probably defaulted to using a storage mode (like 'raid' or intel's rst) that requires 'f6' drivers loaded during windows setup. solution would have been to either find those drivers or switch bios to 'normal' ahci mode.

'work' just replaced 'school'. same restrictions usually apply, just with the "i'm an adult" modifier that lets you deviate with some degree of risk to your paycheck.

try a new and quality hdmi cable, and use the 'main' hdmi input on the new tv--the one that supports the latest rev of hdcp. use no adapters or extensions or splitters or switches. disconnect every other input to the tv and output from the bd player.

you may also need to connect the bd player to the internet, at least temporarily, if it has that capability.

$65 for 4tb? they're almost certainly fake crap. just got done giving someone the bad news on some similarly-priced sd and ssd they bought off ebay.
