Skateboarding requires a little investment, but can last years with some maintenance, especially if you are just cruising

I’ve had good experiences with both WD and Seagate. According to industry, most HDDs will last at least 3-5 years if they are used regularly, but you can also monitor their health via a number of tools for better lifespan estimation, e.g. smartctl and smartd on Linux. Risk management and a good hardware failure mitigation strategy will ultimately help protect your data for the long run though.

It would be cool if they were actual encores rather than this staged “oh we’re finished now, just kidding!” nonsense

Kodi is a great platform if you have something like an odroid or raspberry pi to run it on
