Do they get 30% for every part you put on it they don't make?

You couldn't be more wrong.

I ask this sincerely: how much understanding of internet protocols did you have going into this project?

>For example, you don't need to be fully engaged to consume audio in the same way you need to be to consume text or video (i.e. it's easy to vacuum your house or drive a car while listening to a podcast. Not so easy while reading a book or watching a movie).

As a personal anecdote, I DO need to be fully engaged to consume audio in the same way as text or video. Your example of vacuuming is a perfect example, while trying to pay attention to the carpet I'd stop paying attention to the podcast, and i'd have to rewind, which I find tedious.

Re:We're Entering a Golden Age of Podcasts on Thursday February 21, 2019 @02:55PM (#19220016)
If you can pay attention while doing those things. I am not the OP, but if it isn't music, listening to anything while doing those things is a non-starter for me, especially driving.
Re:Why I use old hardware on Wednesday January 23, 2019 @03:36PM (#18982603)
Just built a NAS from an Asus m3a78-MC, Phenom 2 x4 920, 8gb of ddr2800 and an old case. my Desktop pc is only one gen newer on the motherboard from Gigabyte (990FX-UD3) and 2 gens newer on Processor (8350) with a 560ti, and 16gb of DDR3. the NAS cost $75 for all the parts listed in the last month ($17 cpu, $38 mobo, $20 memory). The desktop was probably $400 for the parts when they were new ($135 mobo, $230 CPU, $50 memory). Right now going just a few years back gets you gobs of processing power for very little. But of course its all relative, in another 10 years these DDR2 based systems might seem quite slow.

They show the rates over years, too.. Quantities may be a factor in lower numbers, but over time they are reliable as well.

Not one trump release since he announced his candidacy. Hmmm.
I used to be on SDF and at the time (99-02) recommended it to everyone who needed a place to put a webserver for a small website.

Advertising service.
false equivalency, no thank you.
Where is the "literal terror"?
No, I felt the same way. The platforms are just doing what they are programmed to do, its not meant to be offensive. The fact that it is offensive is not something a computer could detect, exactly, so in my mind the platforms have done nothing wrong.

This should be flagged, tagged, or somehow made to be seen by new vistors to the site, as I had to track this down to figure out what this site was even on about.

Nice UX?

Being dumped into a forum with no context outside of the URL? thats horrible UX.

Re:LED Strain on Monday December 10, 2018 @11:27AM (#18648995)
Am I the only one who has no idea what he's looking at when entering the site?

Horrible UX. Whats the point of the site? What is LED Strain? where am I supposed to figure that out?

Re:Antitrust, the App Store, and Apple on Tuesday November 27, 2018 @11:43AM (#18543850)
It matches this available data: Apple sure as hell gets rent from their patents. And you don't even have to buy Apple to give them this rent.
Re:Microsoft Joins the Open Invention Network on Wednesday October 10, 2018 @10:42AM (#18185308)
Are they going to give back all the royalties they've stolen from every Android phone manufacturers with their patents, which the manufacturers didn't need to develop their phones, so they just gave them money for nothing?
Re:Microsoft Joins the Open Invention Network on Wednesday October 10, 2018 @10:41AM (#18185292)
They were getting more from Android on licenses than they were on Windows Phone.

Disproven on speculation?
My experience exactly. I went back and tried to do a walkthrough, but I couldn't even follow that.
