Let’s talk after they start arresting studio execs for sending fraudulent DMCA takedowns.

If they ever come out with a service that has everything, no commercial breaks, and you can download for offline use, those pirates will be in real trouble.

The Israelis are going to bomb the immunization clinics, aren’t they?

Some cannabis dispensaries collect old/dead ones to recycle.

Young people getting involved in politics is a good thing, no matter the medium.

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance.

Arbitration clause for wrongful death?

DRM music in 2024?

Steal the song because you do own it and DRM is trying to steal it from you.

My attitude around early access games is to buy them only if I would be satisfied with the game in its current state, at the price offered.

If you pay full price and go into it expecting improvements that may never come, you’ll be disappointed.

If you buy an incomplete game for cheap and they later expand it and raise the price, it’s a pleasant surprise.

Don’t cast this as anti-Green. The right wing Reform party is twice as deprived.

Proportional representation is good for all fringe parties.

Hold up, that’s like a 1 in 10,000 chance of getting busted. Sounds like the smart move is to roll the dice.

Was that the article about how GIMP developers refuse to fix the things that repel new users?

If a new video game console is $500, a full size piece of furniture with custom art and a video console inside it sounds like a bargain for $600.

This sounds at least 10 years from an actual product.

American term for German car.

A service needs a server, not just a phone. Do you want to self host, or use the entire hardware installation in someone’s cloud data center?

You can run HA on lighter hardware, or use a VM or docker, but it needs something to host.

When I say “hey Siri open my garage door”, my phone does voice recognition, calls the Apple Home app, which calls my local Home Assistant server, which calls the RATGDO which opens the door.

Link?

They’re not publishers so this only adds costs to them.

They will oppose it just enough to skirt responsibility by offloading enforcement to an unaccountable automated system.

The Win10 machine I got in 2020 will be my last Windows computer now that gaming on Linux is basically solved.

I put Copilot on MY taskbar —Microsoft

Station wagon full of tapes

It’s a niche of the hard drive market. It persists in “surveillance” HDDs but that’s because they’re optimized for endurance, and low noise is just a side effect.

Not too many people are putting a NAS in their living room.

The Trump org owns buildings, and the Trump org is liable for the judgment.

Basically they’re going to seize and auction a bunch of buildings with his name on them, and when their auction values come up short, seize some more. Then when they run out, Trump org declares bankruptcy for the 4th time.

He already has RNCs money and needs it for legal fees. Why blow precious spare cash paying debts?

We don’t do debtors prisons. They’ll start seizing and auctioning properties.

I use Lutron Caseta which has a local hub and no cloud control. It’s the same company and I didn’t get that notice.

Wonder what’s different about the Decora switches?

Well that didn’t take long.

In older scams, these people are called the “touts” and earn a commission for every rube they bring in.

She’s like the real life Bobby Tables.

Maybe Oracle could acquire them? 😢

But I thought deregulation made everything better? /s

It’s basically a RAID + File shares like SMB.

Loads of DIY options, but I use a Synology so I don’t need to mess with anything.

I think you just described using a NAS as primary storage.

that doesn’t require I keep a full local copy of all the data

So you want a local self hosted backup, but also not a full copy? So like backup only recently changed files?

Are we talking personal offsite backup, or a commercial cloud service?

For cloud backups I like BackBlaze but I’ve never tried to use it as a general cloud storage drive.

I could feel my grey beard growing long as I read that.

I see they have the Orphan Crushing Machine in China now.
