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

damn, 4k takes up so much space.

damn how’s your NAS configured? How many drives do you have?

Storage space isn’t as big a problem for music - for me, tv shows are the main issue.

I like to rewatch shows a lot in the background - I like having The Office or How I Met Your Mother on while i’m doing chores or something, so I have a lot of shows stored. It takes a lot of HDD space, but I also don’t have to pay for 3 different streaming services just to watch 3 shows
