My dude. It's threes all the way down.

  • Three new devices
  • Third attempt at a game console
  • Announced in 2025 (2+2+5=9 which is divisible by 3)
  • Released in a year that ends in 6 (again divisible by 3)
  • The steam machine is a cube, which exists in 3 dimensions.

Unifi Protect is what runs on the CloudKey/NVR physical device - you don't need to have it go through to the Internet.

Remember, for better or worse Ubiquiti is positioning themselves as SMB Enterprise security - some companies won't want their footage to be accessible outside their network.

You have to remember, conservatives somehow can wildly object to multiple things in the GOP platform but still vote R up and down the ticket as long as they agree with just one thing.

Pro-life? Better vote for the pro-life people who are all about zero gun control, mandatory death sentences, and no government supported prenatal care - not to mention fucking over immigrant kids/splitting up families!

Love hunting with guns? Better vote for the gun loving people who also want to sell off our national forests, remove all environmental protections, and privatize our parks.

This is maybe controversial, but I love the Ubiquiti security stuff. Cameras (interior and exterior) doorbells, etc, it's all great. Pricey, but you get what you pay for.

And the data can stay local or be accessible via their services.

I chose to go local only, grabbed their UNVR and populated it with 4x 2TB drives and it has enough space to handle 7 cameras HD history for about a month.

Interesting - I haven't played this one before, it seems like it could be fun to visit again.

At a minimum if you still have the shirt (I lost mine years ago to a communal laundry room), you could wrap the steam machine with the shirt.

steam machine is a cube

Or would you say it looks like a box... Maybe an Orange Box!?!

I'm calling it - a limited release where the black shell is orange and it comes bundled with HL3 for free.

Old LucasArts or Sierra games like Escape from monkey island or Kings Quest would be good.

Plus they teach kids to hoard everything because you never know if you needed that custard pie to defeat the Minotaur in act 4.

My first thought didn't go to Kubrick.

Nzb geek and planet are two good ones.

There's a few - but typically the free ones have limits on the number of downloads per day.

Nzbfinder and bin search used to be okay.

Look at newsgroups - some indexers are free, others have a lifetime fee that's reasonable. I moved to nzbs and haven't looked back - I can't get dinged for sharing copyrighted stuff if I'm only downloading, never uploading.
