Seems like just about everyone has a video doorbell and/or other cameras monitoring their property. Took it for granted in my youth without even knowing it.

      Good luck in my house, server is in a locked room and only way they can kill my cameras is by unplugging for 6 hours so the ups is depleted. Checkmate kids.

          Or be like me, one of the few ppl still collecting music and storing it digitally. Whenever we lose internet it’s fine since I still have my local library of music, movies, and tv shows that I can play on any TV or device in the house. Just don’t shut off the router, unplug the internet and your good.

              I am the weird one here but I am the only one of everyone I know who doesn’t use Spotify or any music service. I got a 6 month free trial years ago and I guess I was just so set on how I look up music and discover it that Spotify was getting in the way of that and so I barely used it.

              I just looked and currently have 156k songs, 13k albums, and 3.2k artists to choose from so I got some choices! Been doing this since early to mid 2000’s. If I had to pick right now probably Blur since I’ve been on a Blur kick recently with the new album released.

                  No I just canceled it the month before it expired and it was completely free. I think the standard is 3 months but I believe I got this for a bigger than normal purchase like a new phone maybe? Figured it was worth trying out. I think the only requirement was the account used couldn’t have used or been signed up for pro prior.
