>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.

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.

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.

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.

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?
