Rights holders are pretty good these days about notifying your ISP so they can send nastygrams threatening to terminate service. Usually there's something like a three-strikes policy.

So, safe torrenting involves either paying for a seedbox, or tunneling your client through a VPN.

I'm sure you know all this already, just putting this as a warning to passers-by.

I've read that there are HDMI splitters and other devices like that that incidentally also happen to strip HDCP. Maybe you can scrounge up one of these to carry?

Illegal emulation is not a fair play here.

Nintendo's "moat" is their exclusive IP and single-screen multi-player party games, which other platforms have largely forsaken. Their competition is still mostly PlayStation and Xbox, too. (Steam Deck sales are a rounding error.) So portability is still an edge for now.

I do hope Steam Decks become more mainstream, though.

> It's strange to me everyone acting as like TikTok's algorithm is completely unassailable and will always be better than the competition for years and decades to come.

I'm not seeing this sentiment. More that none of its competitors are so obviously ahead of the pack that we can easily predict TikTok's natural successor.

Seismic activity appears to be at least one problem. The entire West coast of the contiguous US has lots of it.

Way less than they used to. The Mac "premium" has been declining for decades.

Stands to follow that many of their new customers are price-sensitive.

They are but in my experience, they're not very good at chilling the water. They usually dispense ice, too, of course, but sometimes you don't want ice, or the bottle neck is too narrow.

Not to say I would put one of these machines in my house, but I can see how it would be superior in some ways.

Windows Phone OS was really slick actually, I used a Lumia with it for a long time. I loved live tiles, very good idea on a phone.

Microsoft's stewardship over their entire smartphone campaign, however, was so miserable, it's kind of impressive.

I think the latency of satellite is very much tolerable as it is for most stuff.

The use cases where it starts to be a problem is usually when humans are interacting with each other or humans/machines with financial markets. Maybe other things I'm not thinking of.

I don't think servers in orbit can solve this problem?

I think it's about megalomania. Walter White is entertaining but deplorable.

The director in question was using his profession to peddle racist ideology. I don't think you're being consistent here.

Selectrics never had any word processor-like functionality aside from the ability to erase. They were very expensive for being just amazing pieces of mechanical engineering but the daisy wheel products worked well enough and could be infused with a little computerized help because they were already electronic.

The iTunes functionality carried over to Apple Music is just as slow and confusing and non-portable as it ever was, now with added cloud sync that will mysteriously tell you that anything it doesn't recognize isn't available in your region.

The streaming bit may be good but the rest is not.

Author does say word processors "like" MacWrite, so falls short of saying it was the first at anything (and it wasn't), but WordPerfect and WordStar are interesting choices for comparison. Of the three, only MacWrite is a GUI-based WYSIWYG word processor that would be immediately familiar to modern audiences. (WordPerfect wouldn't get GUI until 1991.)

The Polish example only works because it's a different word, and yours only works because of implied but unwritten punctuation.

Neither is pronouncing a capital letter, whatever that means. It's why people have to say things like "capital P Political".

> notice how theres a definition right in the middle of the article, and not at the beginning.

The criticism is of sentence structure, not document structure.

> That analysis revealed that legal documents frequently have long definitions inserted in the middle of sentences — a feature known as “center-embedding.” Linguists have previously found that this kind of structure can make text much more difficult to understand.

Hogwash.

While the exterior was the Timberline, the interior was modeled after a different, also famous lodge, but ultimately the interior sets were their own thing of course.

It'd be super cool if English orthography were allowed to keep up with the times, but we've never been more anal about spelling than we are right now, lol.

Why should anyone care what you do or do not recommend?

> traditionally the nozzles and electronics and the printhead are all bundled with the cartridge

Canon at least was selling individual ink tanks (by the color, no integrated head) for their BubbleJet printers way back in the 90s.

Not playing with words, I'll tell you straight up that you sound self-conscious about how you look.

It seems important to you that others understand you are strictly utilitarian, that you're not like the others that busy themselves with frivolities like jewelry and designer sneakers. You dress yourself in a way that clearly communicates that. Some items are off limits because they don't fit the look. Flip flops? Not even as shower shoes, because you're a grown man.

Deep irony here.

You could say that being green, or appearing to be, is in fashion.

Yeah I did this for a DV cam and needed two adapters: USB C to the old DisplayPort form of Thunderbolt, and then that to Firewire. And even that wasn't complete, because I needed to adapt to the smaller Firewire port on the camera.

Obviously they could make a single stage adapter but I didn't find it if it exists.

Lol, yep, what is arguably the best monitor money can buy is also going to be good for text editing.

Manufactured in China to a specification. No anti-Chinese goods sentiment here, just agreement that provenance isn't much of an indicator of anything on its own. But I'd expect Apple above any other to have things buttoned down.

The full phrase was "IBM PC compatible" and that dates back to the 1980s.

And it was specific to the PC model. The PC was a new architecture and IBM was otherwise better known for their other products at the time.

PC was established long before those Apple commercials.

Incidentally, I went to their website to remind myself what the logo looked like, only to see that it has changed!

yt-dlp works for more sites than just YouTube :)
