Maybe not, but you and I definitely dont, so let’s stick to what they’re actually saying instead of guessing.

That’s not a firewall though, which is what OP mentions.

That sounds weird and super invasive…where is this?

Stop using your ISPs router and they’re not going to have much control over it.

So you’re saying there is a chance…

Yeah it doesn’t really seem provide any useful functionality.

Where’s the piped-link bot when you need it…

I think the popularity of tamagotchis in the 90’s disproves that statement.

He now runs a beet farm/B&B with his cousin.

Google could have answered that…but here:

I’ll add whiskey, candied sugar and whipped cream to a cup of hot drip coffee. Sugar and whipped cream can be skipped.

Or vodka and kahlua in a double espresso.

Fuck I’m still glad I don’t have to waste space on a physical collection anymore. It 100% sucked ass having all that shelf-space full of CDs and DVDs/blurays.

My most jarring experience was with a waiter, he asked “English or French?” When I entered the restaurant, I answered “English please” and he just shook his head and said “no”…like, why would you ask then!?

I’ve traveled quite a bit to different places in France within the past few years, both large an small cities, and the vast majority of people i meet, even younger people (<30), have either so bad English skills that they are really hard to communicate with, or none at all. Meeting someone in France with proper English skill is definitely the exception rather than the rule IME.

You’re completely missing the point…this will add an ugly extra box cluttering up an otherwise clean setup. Of course there is a workaround, there always is, but it’s far from optimal. It’s a bad solution to an annoying problem that shouldn’t exist.

None of the >40" monitors I’ve looked at today had any audio outputs. But finding one that isn’t an ultrawide format for gaming is probably the bigger issues it seems.

Not true at all…e.g. Chromecast doesn’t have a dedicated audio output and neither does the apple TV, they only have HDMI output. Now the HDMI does also carry audio, but many amps and especially sound bars, do not have HDMI to pass through and rely on getting the audio signal from the TV/monitor if you’re using those devices.

As I mentioned earlier, use a soundbar or dedicated speakers (most TV speakers suck anyways).

Yes, but there is no audio output (as in a RCA, Optical etc., not built-in speaker) to get the audio from the monitor to the amplifier.
