They had a big library, but not the user base. They were definitely not maintaining anywhere near the infrastructure and bandwidth of major streaming platforms. Netflix claims 260 million users. It’s not hard to get a giant catalog when you dont have to pay for it.

Just wait until they start scraping the chans

I expect it to create the next Qanon.

I suspect that it’s because they are marketed to be as much of a tech gadget as transportation. An iPad on wheels. So they figure that they can slip in this crap.

You mean Fxctory

Bonus for the toilet right there in the bathroom with no door.

No problem. Amazon, Max, or someone else can solve this problem by selling you channels in bundles for a discount over buying them all separately.

We will call the new service Cable TV.

Pause? Not Canceled?

I am old enough to remember when they only had manual screw drivers and thicker wood screws that needed to be pre-drilled and lubed with soap.

Go buy a modern “cheap” wood screw. Not a deck screw. An actual wood screw. Pre-drill the correct size hole, including the countersink, and use the correct size manual Phillips screwdriver. You will never strip out the screws.

Now take a 500 RPM impact driver that has almost enough torque to remove lug nuts, a worn or wrong size bit, and a thin shank screw that was only designed to hold down deck boards and the slightest slip or misalignment and have this photo.

We all do it because it is fast/easy. Just understand that you are doing things the convenient way instead of the right way, and you have to expect the stuff to sometimes not work aa advertised because of it.

Shiboleet is a useful word

Things never work out the way that you plan.

It’s a fine line between a clean noble death and being the guy who strokes out on the treadmill, falls, gets his nut sack wrapped up in the belt.

Maybe he believed it, maybe not.

My take is that Bush was trying to sell the WMD bullshit so hard he wouldn’t be above telling allies that he could make flying monkeys shoot out of his ass if he thought that it would get him any support for his war to enrich defense contractors.

Too bad he wasn’t making dumb comments about Linux.

I’d love to see Linus unload one of his smack down rants on Elon.

What serious coder is happy with one monitor?

This flaw is not really that bad because it requires the attacker to already have total and complete control over the system already. For example, if they were able to steal the root password.

This flaw just makes it easier for the attacker to hide and harder to evict them.

What’s the last thing that goes through a bugs mind when it hits a windshield? Its asshole.

Not free, but I have been using Insync for years and it works well. $30 one time cost, but worth it.

How to say AWS without saying AWS.

Even Nvidia video works out of the box without any additional drivers.

The thing with Nvidia is that although the default drivers work, they are more generic and don’t take advantage of all of the features and performance of recent cards. Most people would want to load the proprietary drivers from Nvidia to take full advantage of the card.

Linux would normally include the better drivers, but Nvidia keeps them under a software license that prevents Linux distributions from bundling them.

Even with this, Ubuntu includes a tool that will download and install these drivers that they can’t
