These characters all live in gigantic houses/apartments, have beautifully...

I recieved this email today. I don’t use twitch, only made an account once for some specific purpose. I don’t know these people and I’m a 100% certain they don’t know me. This is just toxic marketing to lure me back in.

In 2020 or 2022 (it’s all a blur), I was able to rip from NBC’s site since I had access to a cable subscription, but this time around I have completely cut the cord. is there a IPTV provider, or even better, a place to download full VODs?

I’m hoping to get some help here. I finally took the plunge and installed Bazzite to a spare drive, and during the initial installation setup I was able to connect to my wifi. After booting up for the first time I noticed it said no connection. I see the wifi device listed, but I don’t see anyway to connect. It doesn’t...
