    Tales from the Crypt was notoriously hard to get the streaming rights for due to ownership sharing between EC comics, the character of the crypt keeper and various distributors, so it was something of a big event that AMC was able to get distribution rights.

    AMC+ is currently offering a $30 Annual plan as a promotion in the US.

    Statement from Shout Factory

    Dear Gizmoplex members:

    Unfortunately, on June 30, 2026 the Gizmoplex apps on platforms such as Roku, AppleTV, Android, and FireTV will cease operations, with the Gizmoplex website shutting down on September 30, 2026. We know this platform has meant a lot to many of you — it was built for and by this community — so we don't share this news lightly.

    What this means is that if you’d like to continue to have access to content you may have purchased on the Gizmoplex, you should download it to a personal drive well in advance of the September 30th website closure. More instructions on how to do so are available HERE. We have significantly reduced the prices on Season 13 and past livestream events, so if you haven’t had a chance to purchase them, now is the time to add them to your collection.

    The good news is that while the Gizmoplex may be no more, MST3K isn't going anywhere. The show remains widely accessible, with its own 24/7 channel, on-demand episodes across many streaming platforms, as well as on the FilmRise app (free with ads), and via Shout! TV on Prime Video and Roku for ad-free viewing.

    If you need further assistance, you may send us a message via the contact form at shout-tv.com/contact.

    MSTies have always been the heart of this show. You've kept it alive across decades, formats, and platforms, and that means everything to us. We're grateful for each one of you. Thank you as always for your support.

    To stay up to date on all things MST3K, you can follow us on YouTube, Twitch, Bluesky, Facebook, and Instagram.

    Like I said earlier, an ASRock BC250 is essentially the PS5 APU that didn't quite pass their quality review but still plays games just fine. That would be the place to start if you wanted comparable specs on a budget, and with PS5s now getting a price bump, and the exploit only working on the original generation of models, I don't see it being worthwhile going into the used market for a launch day PS5 that never, ever had the firmware updated, compared to a prebuilt or project PC under $1000, especially if you consider used PC components.

    You could probably get Bazzite running on it if you really wanted to. An ASRock BC-250 is effectively a PS5 where some of the cores aren't up to snuff, and that can run Bazzite just fine.

    ps5-linux leverages a patched HV vulnerability to transform your PS5 Phat console running 3.xx or 4.xx firmwares into a highly capable Linux PC, unlocking its full hardware potential for desktop use. Powered by 8 CPU cores (16 threads) at 3.5 GHz and a GPU at 2.23 GHz, it provides enough performance to run Steam games and various emulators with impressive fluidity. It supports HDMI 4K60 video and audio output. Furthermore, it allows you to utilize an M.2 SSD as a dedicated Linux partition, as well as all USB ports on the console.

    The rules are that it is illegal, but the FDA has discretion in enforcement for personal use for supplies under 90 days.

    Depending on your definition of legitimate, pharmacies for this sort of stuff have been around for a while, but maybe a more developed path occurs once this becomes a more of a thing that happens with Ozempic specifically?

    Then they couldn’t guarantee you getting the intended experience for your hardware that just works. And also couldn’t upsell you on their creative productive suite.

    Not sure why Apple doesn’t just buy up Asahi Linux

    I wonder how this affects the Slate Truck if it's a bare minimum vehicle? Either way, we can barely get acceptable accuracy on "are you looking at the road," I don't know how we're going to get a visible sobriety test and it's way more of an issue if it gets it wrong.
