I don't think you read my comment. I said that they're likely motivated by greed but there _exists_ a legitimate reason too. I didn't say that _is_ their reason, just that it exist…

While I agree it's likely motivated by greed, there is a legitimate reason too: GeForce cards simply aren't made to be run 24/7 in high density server environments. Put 200 of them…

Rclone + its encryption + Google Drive business account is the best option I've seen so far. Unlimited for $10/month since they don't enforce limits on single user accounts yet. So…

How are they measuring top? I feel like there are really too many to judge. I for one am a fan of the ODROID C2 and HC1.

It looks like the movie industry is finally gaining a little sanity with Movies Anywhere ( https://moviesanywhere.com/welcome ), I really want something similar for TV and the othe…

Considering that MPD, which is doing the actual music playing, is only 13MB ( https://www.musicpd.org/download/win32/0.20.13/ ), yeah, it seems crazy that this bundle is 160MB. Ele…

> Is there maybe a better aftermarket adapter? Westone makes a decent Bluetooth cable with MMCX connectors so you can plug it directly into buds themselves, without a separate 3.5m…

Those implementations both require phone numbers and registration through a mobile app (hence lack anonymity) and are useless for many use cases. I think Matrix (Riot) would be a b…

> American government seems very concerned with terrorism. I'm not sure, from what I hear they have a lot of support from the people, especially the conservatives. > Do you really …

It's in the works: https://www.popsci.com/poland-develops-bulletproof-liquid-ar...

It's not so much paranoia as a very human inability to recognise how much risk a threat truly poses. Americans seem very very concerned with terrorism. Terrorism hasn't actually ki…

Also an Australian. I have a feeling this may not make much sense to Americans. Bulletproof clothing only protects you against bullets (well it protects against knives too but you …

I'm not sure if the title has been editorialized or changed. The current title is "The Other Tech Bubble".

It's not clear how much better than they are than regular media since there haven't been many tests. There are two that I'm aware of, one by the French Archives (who've done this a…

> Burnable discs use an organic dye which oxidizes over time. This is only true of DVDs and a rare variant of Blu-Ray called LTH. Even cheap shitty Blu-Rays from Chinese manufactur…

Because they haven't done enough to piss off the RIAA/MPAA and get a billion dollar lawsuit yet. They're only abusing smaller creators who can't afford to do anything serious about…

It's also rich, considering video creators have been pissed at Facebook for doing nothing about people stealing their videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7tA3NNKF0Q

FCC commission appointments have nothing to do with representative democracy, they're the domain of the president. And the idea that anyone in government represents the people is n…

I get where you're coming from but if they're spending their breaks on their phones, they're only interacting with their friends through text rather than face to face. They're stil…

> You probably have a country, a home, a stable safety net where you can always go back to. I don't. You say elsewhere: > BTW, I grew up in Geneva and my parents are British Don't …

It depends a lot on what specific aspect of media you're in but this isn't necessarily true. In video there's a lot of Avid, Davinci Resolve and RED, in photography (particularly f…

Neither. Both require tying your identity to a phone number. You're better off with Matrix/Riot or XMPP. Neither requires a phone number, both offer the ability to communicate secu…
