I had no idea there was a new Lion King movie in that awful hyperrealistic cg format. Why? Disney could straight up just put the original film back in theatres and make more money.

Can confirm. Currently running everything on there through Proton unless there's some outstanding issue

Recommendation: use Heroic instead for Hoyo titles. It'll launch with Proton/Gamescope and it's far more reliable.

It also doesn't mean anything. It's not even slang, it's just a meme reference.

No, but Best Buy does. As does Canada Computers, Shoppers Drug Mart, Gamestop, etc. none of which are as bizzarely aggressive about nonsensical pricing schemes.

The company providing this promotion has a set budget that covers the "cost" of the giveaway. Since this is a monthly service, that budgetary constraint is likely just the value of 6 months times the number of people they feel is acceptable to lose money on in the efforts of a marketing campaign.. Once that allotment has been used, by way of people redeeming the offer, they end the promotion.

The people who redeemed the code or whatever credit to their account is still going to get 6 months of that service. There's no threshold that has to be met in order for everyone to get it.

Client, potentially. Sadly definitely not a server since the removed hardware encoding

The problem is they didn't initiate the DMCA process at all, nor did the report submitted have anything to do with Copyright Infringement. They submitted a fraud/phishing report, as if the domain itself was serving or facilitating malicious content harmful to someone who visits it.. So forget the DMCA process, this was straight up just corner cutting on the part of the firm representing Funko that misrepresented the nature of the situation as a whole.

Because you're serving the website on a non-standard port, you will always need to provide the port in the web browser.

That said, I don't see anything wrong here. It looks like you've got the right ports set, TCP should be correct. You may not get a ping, because ICMP is likely not enabled at the modem. When you ping, you ping the first device that's exposed to the internet, not an open server.

Just to be sure, when you're on your phone, you're using data? If you're on wi-fi, the modem/router may not be configured to perform NAT reflection, so you won't be able to access anything via your WAN IP.

Was gonna say, I explicitly recalled it being the removal of the scaling algo, so if anything the current vote counts (this has possibly changed since that 2016 adjustment) are more accurate. Reddit has a massive userbase, and posts in default subs are naturally going to get upvoted substantially. There's no real viral algorithm to reddit, you just see things that are upvoted.

Good ol SX-70 film. Definitely recommend the SLR SX-70s though, way more fun to use and easier to store.

I wish "affordable" was better described. What is the target rent for each income bracket? How is that being determined? And as much as I'd love to jump for joy at the idea, that's still 5 years away from a projected finish line.
