Those jobs don't scale at all so you can't have the ability for the top .001 pct make significant money

You don't. It's all nonsense so unless you are planning on doing something official with the material just pirate it. Copyright went far beyond lunacy decades ago and should be ignored if possible.

I wonder why should Tesla , who wanted to give us free electricity lost all his patents (time ran out in those times) while he was still living. And these rent seeking entities get to keep their copyrights for far too long. Are they more important than Nikola Tesla?

Someone would retort that patent is not same as copyright. But really dude that's all just made up stuff by politicians and corporations. In the end Tesla died pennyless and these corporations and entities get to hoard all the human creativity till what it looks like an eternity for my meagre life span.


Patents can hold up economic development of certain industries much more than copyright. Which can have huge implications if they are on fundamentals.

For example commercial 3D printing (using FDM) was likely significantly stalled until the relevant patent expired.

Culture is of course important but there can always be new successful Alternatives.


As a society, modern humanity has decided that capitalism is more important than free electricity, even if it saves lives.

We have enough electricity that everyone in the USA could have a generous free allowance.

We've decided it's better to charge for electricity, and if an AI company can pay for it to train models, but someone freezing to death in their home cannot pay for it, that capital is a signal that the data-center should get the electricity, not the dying individual.

This isn't a matter of copyright, this is a matter of how we structure society.


This is a tech forum, you don't need to act smart because you know piracy exists. It is an interesting question.

I had no idea about this. I don't see how anybody who is buying one of these because of the repair-ability would complete the purchase if they knew this. I also don't see how they can make all of their user-friendly claims if this is the case.

These things are a proxmox home lab user's lifeline. My only complaint is that you have to change your default host shell to bash to run them. You only have to do that for the initial container creation though.


Would it? When I have been uninsured I paid less for bills because the group gave me the cash price. When they are billing an insurance company they bill much more.


I want to use it, but the first bank I tried (wealthfront) only exports in qfx so that's a dealbreaker.


Is that tied to the port or the MAC because the device can just change addresses and you won't know.


OpenWrt, make a wifi network only for those nasty spying devices, printers, tvs etc


You would know if your device starts updating. And if it changes mac to get around the block then it goes in the trash.


That would make debate a sport. My rule is that it has to have a ball, a race or a fight. I guess you could argue that debate has a fight.


> That would make debate a sport.

True. I left out "athleticism" but should have included it. I just took that as a given.

That said, I don't think the idea of debate being a sport is entirely ridiculous. The Olympics had poetry as an event for 40 years or so...


Gymnastics, javelin, high jump, long jump, target shooting, figure skating…


I don't consider those sports. They are mostly games like darts. Competitions that are won by arbitrary judging are their own category of thing. I know fighting sports are judged when there is no KO or concession, but that's why they say don't leave it to the judges because that is not a true win.


Allow you to undo sending for 5 minutes means email delivery is delayed by 5 minutes.


It doesn't have to be 5 minutes. It could be 15 seconds. I've used that feature (in Fastmail), and find it very valuable.


I'm confused. Doesn't gmail offer an 'undo' for send by default ? At least for the last 5 years ? It's in General settings "Undo Send" and can be set up to 30 seconds ?


And before that it was under the Labs experimental features, I think I enabled it in the late 2000s.


Fortunately when it comes to the $20-30 TV devices there are plenty of options that can be made mostly bloat free that you can install anything you want on.


Like what?


Onn devices from Walmart



Chromecast w/ GoogleTV, can even install LineageOS and their new shiny TV launcher on the thing


Isn't Chromecast dead? It seems to be out of stock too.


Oh wow you're right, they discontinued CCwGTV for a new device Google TV Streamer 4K. Too bad it was a nice little dongle and not too expensive.


A computer and an hdmi cable.


Just the HDMI cable would be like at least 25% of that budget, what $10-$15 computer handles displaying 4K for example?


Xiaomi TV Box
