re: IPTV how to

Posted by Fat Batman on 8/6/26 at 2:51 pm to
That is a true general definition. But usually when talked about, like in this thread, people are referring to pirated Live TV streams you pay for at substantially lower prices than YouTubeTV, Sling, etc. Once you find a good reseller you plug the information for accessing their stream into a legal IPTV app on your TV, like TiviMate. Then all of a sudden you have 15,000+ channels from all over the world, including premium TV providers like HBO, PPV, RedZone, etc. The tradeoff is sometimes there can be buffering, outages or your provider just up and disappears. Also, remember you are dealing with criminals, so I wouldn't pay with your everyday debit card or go clicking a bunch of random links on the internet around IPTV stuff. If you can find a good provider it can be pretty great though. No consumer has ever been prosecuted for streaming IPTV, their focus is on taking down the organizers/distributors.
Do you have the paperwork for the hull and was it passed to you correctly? I'd make sure you can register it first. If not, I'd find another boat. As someone who did an extensive restoration on a 90s Carolina Skiff J16, I would not put that amount of time, money and probably lung damage into a hull you will never be able to register.

Both can have great pictures and high price tags. If you are here asking then you are probably not the type of person that really cares about the trade offs of each. You should just go to the store and look at them and decide for yourself if you seeing something worth paying for. Plus, with basically no information about where and how you watch/use the TV no one is really going to be able to give targeted advice.

My son started cleaning people’s houses in my neighborhood. He quoted one neighbor $350 to do his house. Neighbor told him “Come do it for me, the next closest bid to yours was $600.”


Your son has 0 overhead, he lives in your house and consumes your food and doesn't have a business and all the associated overhead to worry about. You even bought his equipment. Power to him for getting out there and hustling, but just because he can bid lower doesn't make his rate "right". The "other guy" likely has way more over head he needs to bill for than your son.
Let me save you some money, skip the A1 and just go ahead and upgrade straight to the P1S or X2D.
You said you were plugged into ethernet when it happened. Could have been a surge/spike that fried your network adapter. That's happened to me a few times. Anything else hardwired to the same router, switch, etc. that no longer connects to the internet?

Some build plates will absolutely get destroyed by PETG if you don't use glue stick.


Why would you print PETG on a build plate not designed for it? Especially when the most common/popular build plates (and the one that ships with the OPs printer), PEI coated, prints amazingly with PETG and no glue. Like, you would have to go out of your way to buy a non-compatible PETG build plate to print PETG on.

I never use a glue stick except for thin TPU prints and that is bc it sticks too well and the glue layer actually makes it easier to get off. PLA, PETG, full plate large ASA. Glue stick is a crutch for not dialing in your settings.
Here's one: Don't touch the build plate. If you touch have to touch the build plate, clean it before printing. Your hands are greasy and that can cause adhesion issues where your print does not stick to the build plate.

I use 90% IPA and a paper towel. Do it right before the print, It evaps quick and you're good to go. Some people will be along shortly to say don't use IPA and to use soap and water only and dry it in your dish rack, but those people are full of shite.
I've used 2 sims before in my pixel. IIRC you can turn data off on your main SIM and just have data on through your eSIM.

You might have to still turn on ATT's international day pass on your account for your calls/text to work via your main SIM. It's like ~$12/day unlimited use if you use your phone for calls/text/data and they cap it at 10 days/per billing period. So, after 10 days its free. Hardly worth it to mess with local SIMs at that pricing IMO.
I work in this space, large companies websites go to shite because they have numerous discrete teams all trying to do their own thing and adding their shitty code to the codebase.

It's more than that. The freedom is about not being locked into a single ecosystem and all the BS that comes with it.

Enjoy not having to do FaceTime, or use one of the other many apps you and your people probably already have that do video calls, social media apps, whatsapp, zoom, meet, etc.
