I'd be down depending on whether the times can line up!

About 6 drives in my NAS are Seagate, but they are specifically models I found Backblaze reported as reliable. I wouldn't have an issue recommending a good, new Seagate drive, as long as it has an acceptably low failure rate.

A good resource I've found is Backblaze's drive statistics reports, as they report on failure rates and issues for all of their drives by specific model: https://www.backblaze.com/blog/category/cloud-storage/hard-drive-stats/

All manufacturers can and sometimes do make trash drives, and Seagate have a number of specific models that have very low fail rates. That said, they also have a larger number of drives with high failure rates than other manufacturers. Regardless, always research the specific drive model you are considering before purchasing to avoid surprises later.

Sonarr has a calendar that shows you airing days of shows you track if you already use that for managing your library

100%, I think people getting frustrated over the time between GTA 5 and GTA 6 don't appreciate the time it takes to build a game on this scale. Rockstar definitely deserve credit for the worlds they build and their focus on delivering an exceptional game.

Sorry if I came across as nasty, my disdain is entirely with Rockstar and T2. After GTAIV, and the exceptional story and DLC we got many of us were excited to see what DLC was in store for GTAV. To have Rockstar to walk back the planned DLC in favour pushing shark cards and micro-transactions in GTA Online left many of us feeling pretty betrayed at the time.

Regarding the launch, GTAV originally came out on Xbox 360 and PS3 in September 2013, then on a new console generation in November 2014, and didn't come to PC until April 2015. Many were doubtful that a company with the resources and talent available to Rockstar needed such a delay, and it stank of another tactic to maximise the number of people buying multiple copies.

Sensible business decisions definitely make the best games.

You mean aside from abandoning RDR Online, cancelling GTA V singleplayer DLC in favour of GTA Online shark cards, intentionally delaying the PC release of GTA V to maximise the number of people who would buy the game more than once because of FOMO, absolute dog shit support and punishing their community by crushing the modding community? I'm not sure.

A surprisingly fun giallo horror film that features definitely 100% original movie that isn't Twilight by ELO or Livin' on a Prayer by Bon Jovi.

Nice to see a date put forward following the previously announced upgrades. Interested in the newer 2000/200 tier announced as well, as the higher upload speed will be really nice for pushing my excessively large photo backup onto backblaze, that said if it's priced too outrageously I'm not certain what the take-up would be for normal home users initially.

 

Five luchadores face off against a mad scientist and his army of powerful wrestling midgets.
