The World Economic Forum is famous for saying people will own nothing by 2030 and be happy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You%27ll_own_nothing_and_be_ha...

If you want that you won't want this steam machine, HDMI 2.0 can do 4K60 HDR at 10-bit, but only with chroma subsampling (4:2:2 or 4:2:0) (not full 4:4:4).

The specs for this steam machine say HDMI 2.0, in the past I used a pulse8 HDMI CEC USB dongle with a computer which was also HDMI 2.0 iirc. I was using a 1080p projector with it but their website claims 4k support: https://www.pulse-eight.com/p/104/usb-hdmi-cec-adapter

I recently replaced a shield with an Ugoos Am6b+ running coreELEC, which works okay and supports some stuff the shield doesn't but I miss being able to run some android apps easily. I wonder if the new steam machine will support DV.

The government told me to.

This is the result of campaigning by an Australian group

What's your take on the government drone striking American citizens without any sort of trial?

It looks like the power button was moved to the bottom of the new Mac mini, maybe to make this experience worse.

Then why does Moraes need to censor people on Twitter? If the argument is ironclad, shouldn't it be able to defend itself from speech?

Really, a third food analogy? Is this satire?

I don't think you understand my argument as you are making a second food analogy (first coke, now steak). Please read my response to your first food analogy as it applies to both food analogies.

There is always a free source with the answer somewhere. The trouble comes when the free sources are pushed far down in the results by legacy brands.

When this happens, I will continue to pretend to be google to access the content they are pushing. If publishers want to change this behavior they could try not letting Google index it, so I don't need to see it in my search results.

No, I don't want to read their content. I want to find an answer to my search query.

If the search results are full of paywalled articles that claim to have text relevant to my query, but won't show me the article because publishers are trying to extract money from me, the publishers of those articles have made my task harder and shouldn't be rewarded. This is a form of spam.

No I don't, I disable JavaScript and read what they served google in the first place.

If I went to a public water fountain and found that someone had turned it into a coca cola dispensing machine, I wouldn't be happy and wouldn't pay to use it.

"Journalists" creating pay walls, using SEO tactics to push their articles into my search results, and then trying to extract rent don't deserve money.

I want to research a topic, so I do a google search about it. If 100% of the search results are readable to google, so that they are indexed, but unreadable to me, due to paywalls, the google search is useless.

I'm not sure what the solution is, but paywalled articles in search results are bad. If they want to be indexed they should have to offer that same indexed content to anyone browsing the index.

NES Tetris has a weighted randomizer where it is less likely to get the same piece twice in a row (if the same piece is going to be served twice, the second is rerolled one time). So it is possible to get the same piece twice in a row but less likely.

Modern uses random shuffles of the piece order (put all the pieces in a bag and draw random pieces from the bag until the bag is empty).

Unbanking someone isn't the same as charging them a fine.

The American people were misled by government claims about WMDs and handwavy connections between Iraq and 9/11. But that doesn't permit us to retroactively declare that "well, if only the people knew in 2002 what we know now then they would have been against it."

Can you explain more? If the American people knew they were being lied to in order to create support for a war, why would they support the war? The argument at the time, repeated all over the media, was that the war was necessary because of WMDs. 53% is a narrow majority supporting invasion, you don't think knowing they were being tricked would have caused at least a 5% swing?

How could this be unclear? They are both narratives. They both have characters. Why wouldn't a concept about characters from one map to the other? Do you think fanfic characters and official movie characters are incompatible types? I have never read or written a fan fic and encountered this term countless times in discussion of media.

I'm honestly baffled how you can't imagine a movie with a character embodying the qualities described in the tvtropes entry.

I'm not sure anyone watched the three or so TV series about John Carmack and John Romero

Which series were these? I'd love to watch them but can't find any information. From googling they shot a pilot for a Masters of Doom series in 2019 but it seems to have never been released.

The title of this post is "Tech Bosses Are Letting Dictators Censor What Americans See", the article is about China getting a say in what happens in the US.

I am not sure this is (still) correct - I am able to call into a .NET framework 4.8 library from .NET 7.

I've been covering my eyes with the palms of my hands for a few minutes when I start noticing eye strain coming on, it helps to some degree: https://seeing.org/techniques/palming.html

White trash is a derogatory racial and class-related slur used in American English to refer to poor white people, especially in the rural southern United States.

Why would anybody expect that new hardware that has to be reverse engineered and for which no Linux drivers are provided to work out of the box as soon is it is available?

The title of this post is "Linux on the laptop works so damn well that it’s boring".

It might be obvious to you but I sincerely don't see it.

The first paragraph is about the source reducing things to axioms. The second paragraph is clearly about tone.

Where is the criticism of the content and not the tone of the article?

Can you highlight where you made that argument the first time? I read your first comment as entirely concerned with tone and don't see where you are discussing lack of engagement with an argument.

"sort of comically smug"

Are you imagining a parallel reddit thread with 30 votes between members of government and YouTube? Why would that be public?

I looked through this thread when searching for a workaround but this method didn't work for me (2019 Shield TV Pro), I had to swap the launcher.
