@jimray hearty lol because when I think back to my first x10 light plugs in 1998 I set up to turn off lights in my apartment, back then they had a "randomly shift on/off by 0-15min?" checkbox option on turning things on and off so I guess your neighbors couldn't clock when you were/weren't home […]

@stefan yeah plus HBO looks 4K compared to YT’s 720p. When I get tired of ads I watch the DAZN feed, then switch to HBO when play resumes

@llimllib Yeah this list on his wikipedia was a complete surprise to me, not a great track record and probably points to someone who sleeps around with fans after shows.
