ytdht··on Making a 4K Fractal Movie with Fractal EXtreme
I did a quick Google search and found this article [1] ... I recall seeing a website that was listing Blu-ray titles with true-1080p but I can't find it right now. Cable does something similar by highly compressing HD content.

One good example is that most Blu-ray movie discs are just DVDs converted to take more space (quality was not increased)

I'm not sure about that, but if you are right, that would be even worst ...

If you plan to watch most of your movies in 4K, you probably should wait about 10 years before buying a new TV... the movie industry doesn't adapt very quickly and cable compresses everything so much that you can't even get true 1080 even if they say that they have HD
ytdht··on Is Self Hosted Blogging Dead?
I tried to convert my WP to Hugo after seeing your comment, using the WP's export plugin (https://github.com/SchumacherFM/wordpress-to-hugo-exporter) but so far my biggest problem is that the link references that were created in the export process don't seem to work properly, for example:

    [Source][1]
    [1]: http://domain.org/dir/
doesn't get converted correctly...

that should be considered a backdoor, unless they make their findings about quantum computing public (the same goes for undisclosed "0-day" bugs that they discover).

I was thinking that they added this delay so that they could profit from everyones money for a few days, continuously.

I do but I use old android phones connected to WiFi for the cameras.

The Bitcoins would need to be of greater value then keeping longterm access to your servers

Once they fix the inserted/deliberate bugs? Arstechnica... I stopped reading that a long time ago.
ytdht··on Windows 10 is unfinished
if you are going to include Windows NT, you should probably also include Windows Phone OS

Probably besides your point but: Instead of cropping that cat picture, they set a custom size in html that doesn't match the picture's ratio... if you want to see the cat's real proportions, right click on the picture and click view image.

ytdht··on Windows 10 is unfinished
I pretty much agree with you except for the fact that NT3.5 and NT4 should not be included in this list because they were not consumer versions... and I would rate DOS as good. Also, I am not sure if 8.1 should be considered a major as I never used it.
ytdht··on Windows 10 is unfinished
Microsoft historically released a good OS version at about every 2 major versions... could Windows 10 be the start of a good version at every 3 major release?

The Google updater is the main reason that I don't install Picasa or Chrome... that's a good thing if Iron doesn't use it.
ytdht··on How Many Times Has Your Personal Information Been Exposed to Hackers?
It seems like the only hope is that they would switch back to a pen and paper system and never digitalize the data... or if they would use an air gap, that would be a good start. But of course you have to make sure that you never say your data around an android phone, an iphone, an amazon device, a smart TV, etc...

For the ethernet port, it is very much Apple's style... but either way, using consumer Apple devices for servers only make sense if you get them for free (civil forfeiture for example)...
