  • I got totally fed up with all the shit, content being spread everywhere and not knowing where to go to watch the things i wanted to watch, prices constantly going up all the time, quality dropping like a lead weight.

    So switched to iptv. All the channels from uk, us, and a handful of other countries in europe including ppv sports etc. Also has a stack of disney, hulu, netflix and apple+ bundled in. 14usd a month. Installed on a firestick 4k max pro extreme limited edition. Has an epg, biggest pain is waiting for the epg to load the initial startup each day. Takes a couple of minutes. That being said, you can skip the epg if you want to skip straight to a channel.

    Pirates ruled the 00’s until streaming services cracked down on axxo and the gang, then spent the next 15 years or so destroying media amd convenience. Piracy will have amother day again soon, i can feel it in my wooden leg


  • Ok, so i guess you’re dual boot. So in Windows, Device manager, find your network device and disable it there. It shouldnt ever reenable itself on its own.

    Microsoft IPs blocklists exist, though I havent used them. I imagine they update frequently. Adguard home or pihole have good uses but itll need an always on device to run it.

    A simpler idea which should be a 20 minute turn around to do, amd will cost you nothing would be either:

    • Set a static ip on the windows computer, blank out the dns so it cant reach the internet.
    • Set the MAC address on the windows ethernet adapter to something custom, or a static ip. Make sure the static IP is out of DHCP scope or at least not the same as your other OS or devices. Then on your router, block internet access to that Device MAC or IP.
