Yes, but not through Apple. I still pay for the best cable package available. I pay for pretty much every streaming service out there, and pay for HD/4K. But everything I watch (outside of sports, which I watch through my Apple TV through the Channels app and a couple of HD Homeruns I have) is through Plex using files I’ve “acquired”. Nothing I’ve watched in the past decade has been something that hasn’t been available through one of those services. But it allows me to have one place for all of my media, organized how I want it, and keeps track of things much better.

That’s… weird. I have to return a couple of Seagate drives a year (I have multiple NAS and have close to 50 Seagate drives running at any time).

The warranty return process takes 5 minutes online, and they send me a new drive that I get in 2-3 days, before I even send the defective one back. And this isn’t a one time thing, this is how it’s worked for me when dealing with Seagate for close to a decade.

I’m not sure how our experiences have been so different.
