Meanwhile I've turned my phone into a hot spot and we're watching Peter Pan on Disney+

Don't feel too smug because of your physical media.

And also:



Buddy, if you have no internet access for months:
  • You likely also don't have power
  • You have bigger problems than watching DVDs while feeling superior
Hum, odd about the Samsung blu-ray issue. I have a Samsung 4K disk player and haven't had any issues. I've also got a Sony 4K disk player that's still in the box as a back up. As I said, I'm a belt and suspenders sort of guy who likes to have backups. Blu-ray/4K players are falling towards that commodity price point.

I've been known to use my phone as a wifi hotspot when Comcast is down as well. It works, though
