In my case it was. Got an automatic flag on an work composed, performed, recorded, and released by the Air Force Band of the Pacific.

Turns out someone was re-selling it on media and the label had auto-filed all their holdings. So you'd get flagged on every usage.

The sergeant in charge of the correspondence for the band was annoyed but as YouTube is private there honestly wasn't anything they could do (other than write me a polite response to send on that I was correct). I did make them aware of it in the unlikely event someone else asks, though.

Annoyingly enough YouTube doesn't take down the automatic match even when it's a false claim from what I saw.

That's generally the case with most museums. Only a fraction have physical displays.

The idea is that the "stuff" is archived or stored properly which is much less of a burden. When it's desirable to do so public displays of it can be created.

Right. It was also popular in some Arabic language countries and South America at the very least.

Probably more correct to say it was a computer standard launched in Japan.

That'll still work to see which driver is running. Might want to append "| head -30" so you don't get all the unnecessary debug for your answer, though. Or grep for what you're expecting (i.e. "| grep -i nvidia").

I... just assume any bluetooth device that requires a vendor supplied locked-in application is exfiltrating every piece of data it can get it's grubby mits on. As the business model.

Unless it provably states otherwise. Is that a minority opinion?

The lead is used to adulterate the product for color if I'm recalling correctly.

Yes. As per the original post above 200$. Advertising is what is omitted in the thumbnail estimate.

Drowning, if it's not covered elsewhere, would be my guess. Possibly infants with improper bedding and smothering hazards in their bed.

46.23 billion for apple. And that's a single manufacturer, albeit potentially the highest revenue one.

I imagine Microsoft, Google, Facebook, Amazon, etc. all are also massive core producers despite not making an external product for sale.

So I'd guess trillion(s?) in production of product or internal use, or near enough.

A large part of the reason people ignore your model for business use, where the target platform is locked down to a single target, is the perceived need to run their software on any given piece of hardware.

That's a question that really aught to be answered. If the business application only requires Windows PCs as a target your design wins out despite the perceived shortcomings.

Smart or not it's hard to make ad revenue (or get readers, whatever the author's going for) with a concise summary or a context heavy conversation.

How many programmers work on last pass? From a solo coder with no specific interest in cryptography I wouldn't find this kind of flaw odd.

From a large development team whose sole product centers around encryption? It seems strange to get it this wrong. What leads to that might make a good business case study.

That's appalling. We've gone from running internal on local networks to forcing a potential security issue to allow for multiplayer.

My personal favorite is Microsoft discouraging local Minecraft servers with the rational that anyone could type anything on them! Who knows what you and the people you explicitly allow on your server might type!

But your switch example is worse, I think.

I would posit that installing an open UEFI implementation and taking advantage of the A) Cost and B) ridiculously good power saving features of a used Chromebook with the OS of your choice is a good Chromebook use.

But as a stock laptop I get your point.

That smacks of the same model as a gym membership. Sucker in a large number of marginal users and make it as onerous and hard to leave as possible under law to retain them as long as possible... that's the actual business model.

What immediately came to mind was a dirigible. I'm hoping that's not really the case.

This is along the lines of an upswing in tape cassette sales. There might be a niche market but it wouldn't even sustain the needed infrastructure if it's not also being used for something else.

Although given the amount of junk I needed to sort through to find the article on that page I can see the appeal.

I always assumed Google's business model requires the searcher to use Google Search some number of times per given search so they make their revenue goal from the user.

In that context what you describe is functioning exactly as intended. The searcher is certainly the product.

Oddly enough all the automotive fasteners and bolts switched to metric some time ago here in the USA. Which makes the (relative) lack of available metric bolts/screws doubly frustrating.

I fail to recall the golden era of downward facing laptop speakers that you're waxing nostalgic over. Could you site examples?

My memory, and indeed any current example I posses, is more along the lines of "wow, it actually makes sound" rather than trying to pick instruments from the back rows in a symphony out.

That's a good point. You or I could whack together a show that'd appeal to a hundred people across the globe for almost nothing. And if we enjoyed doing it there'd be no reason to stop.

That bit of the conversation seems mostly lost in the comparisons.

In the US we generally tax based on where you live, not where you temporarily reside. Federally if you're a US citizen you're welcome to live anywhere you'd like but the IRS will still require their payment.

States are usually based around where you are more than half the year. But that's likely simple to show. If you're actually not there they don't have much of a complaint.

More fiber and less umlauts for breakfast 'll fix that.

My personal favorite 8-bit gaming machine is the Arduboy. They combine an Atmega 32u4 with a minimum of hardware to create a surprisingly good console.

You can modify and extend it to your hearts content and there's a usable software stack and helpful community grown up around it.

Here we tax gas to cover the cost of the roadway. We are collecting more revenue from SUVs than a light compact. Electrics turn that somewhat on it's head, though.

I remember playing games along the same lines (a few years earlier than the author) on the Amiga buried in free game archives and collections. Or possibly early networked systems; my memory's cloudy.

I haven't seen them again. I've always wondered if some of them were partially finished personal projects that never were released widely enough to survive.

I replaced the Pine Phone for similar functions with an IoT router from GL.iNet (unfortunately also using a Quectel). OpenWRT as the OS. TMobile subsidiary as carrier.

It has been marginally more stable though. It has 9 days of uptime so far.

They claim to be getting T-Mob compliance certified. Although I'd check that if it's relevant.

Agreed. In addition my Pine phone needed a heatsink to handle 95+ degree weather. That's in the open air... when sitting in the pocket it radiated a scary amount of heat.

They are a neat gadget. But I don't think they're more or less of a neat gadget than any other Quectel 25(?) based iot device. The phone form factor, for me, was rendered useless.

X2Go here, although it looks like it needs updates for the future to continue.

NX (the protocol it uses) had a novel way of only updating pixels that were changed and tunnels through ssh for security. Although if you're curious on the technicals look them up; my knowledge of it's got to be 20 years old at this point.
