NO, not "rule now"!! "Rule never"! Tss, looks like you still haven't learned your lesson, princess...

I did have a weird issue with my printer under nix, turns out it was a bug. I guess 1h time investment is about right.

But that also meant that my Laptop and my GF's PC were a 0 seconds time investment.

I think that's neat :D

"Confused Jellyfin / Subsonic noises"

Nvidia Shield. The bigger one.

Yes, it's a couple of years old at this point, but it's still the best device of its kind.

Not to mention the remote is FANTASTIC.

We only have two "smart* things: when we get up to pee at night, a motion sensor turns on a light in the living room. Much dimmer than those premade motion activated lights, so we don't wake each other. Returning to bed and triggering the sensor again turns it off.

And when it has been raining more than a certain threshold in the past 24h, the outlet into which the pump that feeds our drip irrigation is plugged turns off, and on again when it hasn't been raining for a while. Saves lots of water, especially when we are on vacation. (The rest of that system is " dumb", though.)

Because while he dresses it up as scientific theories, he's just spewing unfounded conspiracy theories?

Because this stuff is a conversation starter in the same way that "the moon landing was staged", "the earth is flat" and "chemtrails turn the frogs gay" is?

Because instead of actual scientific education or archeological documentaries, this is the shit that gets funded? Because who knows how many people will now believe that his fanfiction of a theory is a legitimate interpretation of humanity's history?

I'm sorry, I don't mean to come off as condescending, I really don't. But his entire "documentary" is deeply unserious at best, and an outright lie at worst.

And possibly a drinking problem afterwards

That idea is just as ridiculous.

If you want an entertaining, well researched rebuttal from an actual archeologist, check this playlist:
