Why in the world would you do this in the US?
Why in the world would you do this in the US?
Immediately made me think of this.
Yes, for politicians the cost is always lower to kick the can into the next administration’s term. Unfortunately it becomes more and more expensive for the rest of us.
Windows is unusable without Rufus. So glad I used it.
Well yes it’s a given that Citizens United would need to be overturned for any of this to happen.
I think you can just outlaw paying someone to do this, not the lobbying itself, no?
I still miss the visualzers.
That’s one of the longest outages I’ve ever seen from a cloud company.
Tl;dr?
For movies I will go the extra mile and break out Kodi and go with the big file as I will usually watch it right away and then delete it. For TV, 4k streaming is plenty good enough.
I find 4k streaming to be absolutely good enough for general tv streaming. It’s a bit better on some services than others. Amazon and Netflix do it the best, but it’s generally pretty good on all of the,.
I find it easier to get 4k streaming than to download such large files.
Geographic restrictions. I live in Czechia. I can afford to pay for content and generally do if I can, but there is quite a lot of content I want that is not available via any content service whatsoever here. For that I sail the high seas.
I have a VM running as a seedbox with full time VPN on my synology NAS. I use that synology for lots of other stuff.
Yeah I could see it for very young babies where you may need to change things every few months. But after 2-3 years old I don’t see it making sense.
36 GBP a month for 10 items of kids clothes? That’s 432 GBP a year. I’d think you could easily buy many more than 10 items of clothes for that amount and other than kids under 3 I don’t think you’d need to replace them more than annually.
I had completely forgotten that it was Microsoft that killed Nokia.
Fair point.
If you read the article, it’s not a statement with entirely no merit.
The engineers prioritized an algorithm which is far more likely to be useful in real world scenarios where you keep trying to cram a bunch of stuff in the frunk and close it (who hasn’t done this?) rather than the edge case of repeatedly testing it with vegetables until you stick your finger in it.
Anyway, I suppose it’s back to the drawing board.
I’m pretty sure the similar exists in other places too. You could host it in AWS in China or Bahrain and save yourself a bunch of risk.
