Just wait until they start scraping the chans

I expect it to create the next Qanon.

I suspect that it’s because they are marketed to be as much of a tech gadget as transportation. An iPad on wheels. So they figure that they can slip in this crap.

No problem. Amazon, Max, or someone else can solve this problem by selling you channels in bundles for a discount over buying them all separately.

We will call the new service Cable TV.

Pause? Not Canceled?

Shiboleet is a useful word

Somebody could go to jail for this. You.

The DMCA makes it a felony to circumvent protections in services. If they wanted to push this and depending on the system disabling or using some hack to bypass could be illegal.

I don’t think that anyone would actually bring the case against an individual, but a company selling any sort of device or instructions to make it easier for people could be targeted.

The government buys your data, too. And not just your government.

For any legal case, government or your spouse’s divorce attorney, it’s a low bar to soupeana “business records” from these companies.

The US needs stronger data protection and privacy laws. Unfortunately, the corporations buy enough politicians to prevent it.

Things never work out the way that you plan.

It’s a fine line between a clean noble death and being the guy who strokes out on the treadmill, falls, gets his nut sack wrapped up in the belt.

Too bad he wasn’t making dumb comments about Linux.

I’d love to see Linus unload one of his smack down rants on Elon.

What serious coder is happy with one monitor?

Time by Pink Floyd.

Back in the day. Moped, cassette Walkman, and very early wired earbuds. The engine noise covered the several minutes of ticking in the beginning, so it seemed like the tape had stopped. Then the alarm clocks kicked in and startled me so badly that I almost crashed.

Check out NetBox. It is a free open source datacenter inventory management and IP address management tool. It will let you catalog all of your physical assets along with the network assignments.

Not free, but I have been using Insync for years and it works well. $30 one time cost, but worth it.

accounts of a subsidiary of one of the world’s largest e-commerce entities.

How to say AWS without saying AWS.

Even Nvidia video works out of the box without any additional drivers.

The thing with Nvidia is that although the default drivers work, they are more generic and don’t take advantage of all of the features and performance of recent cards. Most people would want to load the proprietary drivers from Nvidia to take full advantage of the card.

Linux would normally include the better drivers, but Nvidia keeps them under a software license that prevents Linux distributions from bundling them.

Even with this, Ubuntu includes a tool that will download and install these drivers that they can’t

You don’t need any internet connection to install Ubuntu. Just use the normal install, not minimal network installer. Install from a USB stick.

Also, there’s no requirement for a wire either. If that were the case, you could never install on any modern laptop.

You would need some sort of functioning network to upgrade packages or install anything not in the base image, but this would all be after installation when you have a working OS and wired or wireless won’t matter.

New versions of software are released because the older version was lacking in some way. Features, security, functionality.

Lowest number wins.

One of the hurdles to ARM is that you need to recompile and maintain a separate version of every piece of software for the different processors.

This is a much easier task for a tightly controlled ecosystem like Mac than the tons of different suppliers Windows ecosystem. You can do some sort of emulation to run non-native stuff, but at the cost of the optimization that you were hoping to gain.

Another OS variation also adds a big cost/burden to enterprise customers where they need to manage patches, security, etc.

I would expect to see more inroads in non-corporate areas following Apple success, but not any sort of explosion.

The Clippy Key.

Does the group have any archive, mailing lists, ticket system, etc, where they work on and document the work that they have been doing?

Past questions and answers will tell you common issues, solutions, should point you towards the areas where you need to focus.
