    Console/PC Game Pass Subscriptions vs Owning The Game.

    Once they broke the 200GB Barrier, The available sizes skyrocketed and the prices fell like crazy. I just bought a Two-Pack of 128GB Sandisk Extreme Plus Micro SD cards (U3, A2, V30) cards for $45.00. It wasn't long ago that I spent $45 on a 64GB card and thought it a great investment.

    Console/PC Game Pass Subscriptions vs Owning The Game.

    So despite not playing a ton of console games, I finally upgraded from my XBOX 360 to an XBOX ONE S about a year ago. I have a 4K TV and while I don't do any gaming in 4K really, I wanted it for it's ability to do 4K HDR BRD. After a bit of juggling, a free trial and such, I ended up converting...

    Star Trek Picard

    It was definitely a slow-burn intro, but it didn't leave you wanting to discount it, you always wanted to see "more", even when it was slow... That takes a certain amount of talent to pull off.

    Star Trek Picard

    Discovery jumped some real sharks, but remains overall good show. Picard is nothing but awesome so far, leaving me to want longer episodes every week. It is literally leaving me with the same feeling every week as the Mandalorean did.  More, MOre, MORE!  and all that :)  - On that note, the...

    VPL has returned!

    Just to make a point... If TGL or another forum had not come around to fill the void left by VPL, then there would be no community left for VPL to serve. VPL is very much benefiting from TGL and the community choosing to stay alive.

    Looking for... (I'm a code dabbler)

    BlueGriffon HTML editor has Free and Paid versions. There is a paid addon module named ActiveView that does the dual view Code/WYSIWYG views that you are looking for. I'm not sure how much it would cost but probably less than Adobe Dreamweaver. Also if you choose to use Adobe Dreamweaver...

    Stripe.com

    No need to share details, I understand and appreciate the privacy concerns. As for PayPal Pro, yes, you do need pro. Because when you start doing CC Auth and using PayPal as basically a merchant gateway, they are much more liable than their traditional model, which is just transferring secured...

    Stripe.com

    Question, what are the  you speak of? As far as I know if you want to do CC capture on your own site via PayPal all you need is a verified business account that has been approved for a merchant account, and to do yearly compliance with PCI-DSS like any other CC Auth Gateway (like Authorize.Net...

    Seeking backender who can help with server installation, maybe more

    Hi. I can offer setup or continued server management and maintenance. This is my day to day job. I specialize and recomend DirectAdmin and can provide a Code 500 (VPS) license for $5/month if you do not have one. Once you have DA installed it will handle php and everything else for you. I can...

    Looking for a new server host, any recommendations?

    I would highly recommend not putting a a sever into play unsecured if you don't know what you are doing. Most IP's are scanned constantly and start getting hit with automated login attacks within seconds of going live. Sure brute force with a secure IP takes time, but I've seen evidence of a...

    Looking for a new server host, any recommendations?

    Sounds like you would do best with what is called a "Reseller" account. You would get an account that lets you create sub accounts for all your users and then you could use somerhing like softaculous or installatron to do the wordpress software installs. The advantage of using Softaculous or...
