I thought HP Sauce referred to the Harry Potter franchise, which is a book about a UK orphaned teenager living with oppressive stepparents discovering the secret ingredient to making a delicious dipping sauce.

Amazon damaged their brand name once they started acting like a third-party marketplace. Now it's basically almost like ebay.

Tech has just reached the maturation point.

As with every industry, there's a point where there's enough growth for a win-win for the company and consumers, so consumers benefit with new features; once that dries up the company starts squeezing, so consumers endure new features and use the product despite the changes.

who the fuck would use Google’s search popularity as a metric for the popularity of a technology

that's been a leading indicator of popularity for a long time now.

some may laugh at that speed lol

there's nothing funny about the ridiculous cable prices some places charge :( i used to have 15mbps until i moved and got 1gbps... seeing a tv show finish downloading in 3 minutes was an eye opening experience

Really? You must be pretty unlucky - i don't want to tempt fate here, but I've only had a couple of bad sectors here and there with my hard drives!

I rewatch old shows a lot actually - i like to keep sitcoms playing in the background when doing chores.

The good thing about JBOD is that it doesn't take much work to set up at all (just plug em in), and you can access them any time. I tend to rewatch old shows a lot.
