yeah, just about anything these days will work... This was literally the cheapest HDMI reciever on ebay. Hell, you can probably go to Goodwill and find one.

It's because it actually is a security risk with the Chinese government having the ability to do who knows what with a frightening amount of data. There is also the option of selling the company to one that isn't related to the Communist Party government, but no one seems to be talking about that option.

The only slippery slope is more apps owned by a foreign government that is not exactly our friend.

If the app was owned by North Korea, would you be cool with it too?They aren't banning Instagram and Facebook.

I got so tired of them that I actually answered one a few weeks ago. I was shocked that an actual person answered.

I asked to be taken off and she was very nice and they actually did it.

Haven't received one since.

You can see the awful, misaligned panel gaps in those photos.

Like they're going to just take the lack of those fee profits off the bottom line. Look forward to the new and/or increased yearly fees now.

The sound of the "Click of Death" still haunts me.

We had Jazz drives too, which just failed and caused you to lose a larger amount of data than a zip.

I watch all sorts of urbex and abandoned exploration videos. The Proper People are great.

Rust to running videos about restoration of old cars and heavy machinery. vice Grip Garage is great, that guys a hoot.

Lately I've been into the guy's channel who bought the old Cerro Gordo mine and had been doing cool videos where he explores the old mines like 900 feet underground.

I've been into Heavy D Sparks rescue and recovery videos too.

If you asked me a few years ago, I would have not even said I'm interested in any of these, but with the flood of useless "creator" content, I think they're pretty interesting.
