There was no real pre-order price that I had observed. In fact, it was likely it went down a few months later. $40 for a 4K disc is robbery unless its really rare. But that's my 2 cents on it.

Nope. It's like getting a fruitcake at Christmas. I won't help you eat it but you are free to pass it along :)

I always check to see what's coming out in 4k. I look for the older stuff they remaster typically. These discs are usually around $25 on pre-order and sometimes less if the price drops when they ship. But I just checked a handful that are being released in a couple months. They are $39 now.

I use YT-DLP a good bit. And it's has a long and tedious command structure. And I got tired of navigating around in CMD and running it. I thought it would be fun to make an old skool bat file just to save me a little time. It's fairly handy. It asks if you want to pull down another file and...

No one can predict what they will or won't do in the future as realties change. I think no different here.

If you look at your original error it says the name cannot be resolved. So your connection is not being blocked your DNS queries are either being blocked or filtered with I would assume is a local filter say like PiHole. Just a guess.

A bank offering crypto and as investment is like a wolf offering sheep sleeping pills as protection against wolves.

Proton is not the "free vpn" honeypot the others are. Proton VPN is essentially not free or even cheap. So it's not like the others whom are free and or super inexpensive. I have used Protonmail since it was released and I use several of their services. Good stuff, I recommend it to anyone...

Anyone who has some hesitation with using crypto to move funds, THAT IS WHAT CRYPTO IS FOR. Crypto was not invented to be a retirement or a get rich quick scheme. It was so you can move funds without banks or government. Use it just to move around money freely when you need to, that is...

Split tunneling can hose you because you are possibly coming to a CDN server from a different region's IP with AS than what your DNS query eluded to. So if you are hitting Japanese Amazon with AS through a VPN and your DNS query for this CDN goes out without VPN in Germany where you are and you...

Rufus rocks! But it's just picking options already there. You can select other sign-in options and then "domain join" and you can make a local account.

Upgrades of that nature are not something you would normally want to do unless you had to. They are not so much upgrades as a reinstall with trying to carry all your stuff over and this causes a very "dirty" install. I have seen that cause many many issues. I personally suggest a clean...

I figured that's what you thought. That's all incorrect and or vague but that is irrelevant to the OP's issue. He just needs to do the simple stuff and he will probably be fine.

Packet drops do not always equate to connection unless you define connection as any network issue that can possibly exist. OPs wifi connectivity could be solid and strong and if his AP itself or his modem is having issues that could drop packets or maybe even the CDN he is connected to is...

That's a giant assumption as to the issue. Possible? yes, but assumption nonetheless. A weak signal is not a disconnected NIC by default. OP probably does not have a loss of connection but is dropping packets. Could be poor signal or it could be something in the middle dropping packets...

I won't pretend to know for sure but I seriously doubt AS is going to pull any metrics from your wireless NIC or Windows as it relates to your NIC. I could be wrong but I would imagine AS is going to only concern itself with I can open a socket or I cannot or maybe I can access the NIC or I...

ICMP is not at all an adequate test for network quality/stability, that's only for basic connectivity especially with it's default tiny packets. If you are using WiFi I can tell you that this is almost certainly a network issue on your end. I am sure you know how sensitive Wifi can be between...

Debugs are typically for the devs who wrote the app. It's not necessarily supposed to mean much to anyone else. Create a log file and leave here is as goncal suggested so they can see it. But also keep in mind AS is very sensitive to latency and especially packet loss. Folks tend to think...

We are nerds, we only truly get offended over colons and file names :) (general humor directed at no one)

These is a great forum. The folks here are knowledgeable and experienced. Some of the knowledge base here you will be hard pressed to find, anywhere else, in the whole world. But no one achieves that level of nerdom without some taint of sassiness or personality quirks. You can be part of the...
