Do you not have room for something bigger? I can definitely sympathize as someone who wears glasses for distance heh. My current living room TV is the biggest I've ever owned at 55 inches and I regret not going bigger tbh. I still squint reading small text bubbles in video games. Bedroom is totally fine at 42 inches though since I don't really game in there

 

not really, we live in a small house and the space we have for the tv is on top of a tall dresser. We also use subtitles when watching. If I could I would have something a bit bigger but we live in a small house. Thankfully I still have my 65” tv for the living room heh.

On one hand, it's a real bummer that physical media is getting less and less popular... But on the other hand, I love going to used record stores and seeing DVDs costing under $10, and seeing full series DVDs on Amazon sometimes for only like $20, compared to what you used to pay for just one season of a series.

Man, I'm only like 10-12 feet from my TV in my recliner and I'm still squinting to read the chat in Twitch streams with my glasses on haha. I think 55 inches is too small for me now. Wild. 42 inch felt huge when I was in high school.

 

That's facts

 

I need some recommendations. I'm looking to get away from Spotify and play music files instead. What are good apps/programs for PC (window 11) and iOS to play music files, organize my music library, sync with each other (PC & iPhone), and connect with last.fm? Preferably with a good UI. I also posted this in the music forum general chat thread.

 

Plex/Plexamp is the first thing that comes to mind

Got a Samsung Galaxy S24 FE recently and I'm very happy with it. Definite upgrade from the Motorola G Stylus 5G I had been using for the past year. The Motorola was by no means a bad phone and it did serve me well for over a year, I just wanted something faster and with a better camera and so far the S24 FE surpasses it in every respect
