I had a coworker that had bats take up residence in his attic and he wasn’t allow to remove them. That was all fine and well (not really because of the horrific noises) until they gnawed through the drywall and started pouring into his house. I can’t get the image out of my head of him swinging a tennis racket at them as they flew around his living room. It was right out of an 80s comedy except he had to live with the results. In the end, he just moved because he couldn’t do anything else. From that point forward, I decided that I would tell no one about bats if they wormed into my home and would make sure they wanted to leave.

I’ve often wondered about what a person can legally do if bats have moved into their home. My initial crazy thought was to get some new “pets” that are bat predators. Who wouldn’t want a house filled with racoons, snakes, and venomous spiders?
I’m not sure what’s more alarming here: the bat bugs or the people willing to steal fingers out of spite.
I suspect that you’ll have a very hard time finding a player that has a native HDMI port, and a USB-C port is probably out of the question with a typical player. I think the other commenters are probably on the right track with using either a console (unconnected to the internet) or an drive for a PC. You may also be able to find a standalone blu-ray player with these features, but I think the USB-C connectors are unlikely. Just make sure that whatever you find, you keep it disconnected from your network (unless you use a PC) if you want privacy.
I learned to drive on two cars because my parents were divorced: my Dad’s Ford Ranger (manual) and my Mom’s silly “talking” Chrysler Laser (it literally talked to you, felt weirdly futuristic see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_voice_alert ). I never really had a problem with using a clutch, it was the lack of power steering on that truck that sucked. I made sure that I never bought a car without power steering after learning on that truck.
It’ll never be a BBS to me without door games and screechy modem connecting sounds.

2·25 days agoNvidia GPU aren’t a deal breaker on Linux with most of the common distros, it is just that their drivers aren’t baked in to the kernel and tend to be more likely to cause issues. If anything it has gotten better over the years. That being said, I went with AMD for my most recent GPU to avoid this exact issue because I did run into some serious Nvidia drives issues.

Hah, I believe that is the scene where he says he loves “soul food”. Excellent.
It looks like the strange middle ground between pizza and Freddy Krueger. Oh well, man’s got to eat, sorry Freddy.
