It's not worship. It's an observation. Those who talk, say they would stop at a precise stopping point, but they never start. Those who do, almost always overshoot this precise stopping point that the talkers refer to. An IA that has the precise stopping point is possible today. But zero people have made it. This is not unique. In fact, I'll tell you what, you make it and I will dedicate my ArchiveTeam Warrior to you…

Google Cache was useful because you could sometimes not find a term or keyword in the web site, but it would be in the cache. Or for sites that have gone offline, or no longer have the item. "It's still in the Google Cache!" you can't say that anymore. I use Google less and less these days. What's the point when you can just ask an LLM, and it gives you an answer within seconds, with no ads? You can ask for reference…
LLM… no ads…. *For now

Why not both? Can my neighbor not stop by and watch some TV with me and have the ability to pause it?
They can. It’ll pop up on their phone if they’re on the network or they can use the remote. I do it all the time myself because I set my phone aside.
I might as well publish the SSID and passphrase on a billboard, or just go full Bruce Schneier and leave it open for all.
(Or.... You know, a real remote! With real buttons!)

So now I need my neighbor to be on my network in order let them pause the TV while they're over? I might as well publish the SSID and passphrase on a billboard, or just go full Bruce Schneier and leave it open for all. (Or.... You know, a real remote! With real buttons!)

The remote does work. This is an added convenience. To be clear, the remote continues to work. At no point does the remote stop working. If you use your phone to cast, the neighbour can still use the remote to pause. If you don't give the neighbour the SSID, he can still use the remote. Your neighbour does not need to be on your network. If he's on your network the remote and his phone will work. If he's off your net…
The original argument was in favor of the OG Chromecast's method, wherein: There is no dedicated remote laying around that anyone can pick up and unambiguously make work.
It is good to have options.
(And modern Google-produced streaming devices, whether they are good or bad, do provide options.)

If it's important, it should go in archive.is. Sites have always been able to remove their own content from Wayback Machine.
Archive.is seems even sketchier doesn’t it? Who is paying for all that? Total mystery. I wouldn’t be surprised if it just vanished one day. I feel like the solution is some version of local personal archive + zenodo plus those others.
