Easy workaround: live in the countryside with no neighbours.

Yeah, for a living room TV the only option is either “digital signage” or no network.

I’ll just stick to not connecting my TV to the network.

Well that depends on the baguette. A cheap baguette moulée I agree. A nice tradition will be take around 72 hours to mature to the point it can successfully be used for violence.

Wars have been fought for less.

In fact, it would not surprise me if an argument about bread was a factor in WW1.

I may live in France, but I am English too. A simple white cottage loaf is great, that is indisputable. However the availability is laughable.

When I lived in Portsmouth, there were 2 bakeries on the whole island. 2!! in my little town here we have 4 artisan bakers, plus 3 supermarkets that all sell really good bread. Just round the corner from my house there is a farm that sells bread (made completely in house) every Friday afternoon and people take the afternoon off work and drive 2 hours to buy it.

French bread wins hands down.

However I agree with you on one thing: I love bread!

Still a stupid price for a crap sandwich. As I said in another reply, come to France and you will get the same thing for half the price. However, it will be nice (can you beat french bread? I think not)

And it cost less than half of this one at Montparnasse and is much nicer

Been running one for 10 years, mostly as a NAS. Ran Openstack on it for a while, oVirt also. Currently just running KVM and an NFS server to keep it simple.

I do want to put one of the community firmwares on it. That way I can use an HDD in the optical bay in AHCI mode, but the tools only exist for Windows as far as I can tell.
