I’ll bet you $100 what side Congress will take in the matter, and it will be on the side of money.

I look forward to my first $400 power bill.

Even in terms of story, the content is no longer optimized for quality. It’s optimized for watchability which generally refers to the ease of viewing even when you’re not completely paying attention.

They somehow found a way to even further commercialize and mass produce the moving picture.

Interesting. All the systems that I knew of they were refreshing to use ethernet with static IP address addresses instead.

I think optical media is a dead platform. Hence, there is an apparent lack of interest I think in implementing alternative solutions. I’ve had success with MakeMKV using the docker container approach, but never tried to rip UHD.

The Corpo-inspired future is that you should not get to own any of your media outright. They will decide when you can stream it and to which devices. Piracy is quickly becoming the only viable option if you value your freedom, and it’s a very unfortunate state of things.

Very cool. I’ve used this for about a five year period in my career. Used it to control test equipment, and there’s definitely systems out there today still using it.

You don’t get to order people who don’t work for you.

They’re not going to stop. People like this don’t stop. They don’t stop until forced. Power is the only language they understand.

The one platform where I’m actually excited for the new update.

We’ve got representatives attacking the postal service for not being highly profitable. We aren’t at square one of investing in the public good even when it pays in the long run.

Costs are borne by all, but profits only for the few.

This is a gag gift, right?

A sure sign that your rights are under threat either way.
