They have a bunch of display ports and HDMIs. You can buy the tuner you need (SAT, OTA, cable, other streamer), or use a PC&Linux and watch YT add-free.

Oh, they do have products without all that shit. They offer large screen monitors that are basically their TVs without the “smart” part.

Just imagine you having to fix a thousand pages of this. I feel your pain.

You’ve still got a British passport? Consider staying out of trouble, I.e. the US.

But less often.

We have one odd leftist party in Germany that is basically Putins press office. Maybe they meant those.

The cabinet of president Trump is not known for their skills with the subjects they deal with, but for their willingness to kiss his ass.

As being politically right is based mostly on ignoring facts, this sounds about right.

For Americans, it is nearly impossible to escape the tariffs. Either somethig is imported directly, or key ingredients to it are imported. This will be a blood bath.

The prices are still calculated pre-tariffs, thats why they stopped preorders because the price will go up most likely.

I think asking for high prices for both the console and the games is a big mistake.

Been there, seen that, but got no T-shirt

So this is how he tries to escape problems with his banks. Lets see how xAI is rated as collateral for his credits.

I am what you would call a boomer. But I do not only know how to rotate a PDF, I also know how to generate one from a number of sources with software I have written…

Oh yes. And it was a big, big upgrade from having to retype everything each time.

I remember my first written CD. You put the CD into a transfer case and slide it into a large box. Shortly after, the empty transfer case comes back out. You have already prepared your CD image, not as a project or file, no, you had to prepare it as an image on its own partition, on a disk that did not host anything else.

Then you shutdown your computer, and reboot it basically into the burn program, which then tries to move the data fast enough from the disk partition to the CD burner. The speed, of course, was 1x, so this write operation could last an hour and a quarter.

Then, your computer reboots back into the OS. You put the empty transfer case into the writer, and after some time, it comes back out with the media. And now you can finally put in into a reader and read it and compare it to the data on that partition. Knock on wood, or whatever. Because about half the writes failed, and the media cost a fortune.

I did such a thing, but I had a big advantage: the codebase had been done by people who had never really learned to code, and I was a seasoned programmer with 20 years of experience.

You expect them to survive in a mint-infested ground?

There is a reason why I planted my piperita in a pot, far off the ground.

You are either naive or new to this planet. If you tell industry that this or that thing is voluntary, it will definitely not happen. There must be thousands of examples out there. “Voluntary” regulation never worked on this planet.

If you want industry to do something, there is the stupid way of bribing them into it, and the smart way of simply forcing them to comply. If you do the latter, they will still squirm, complain, and demand money (loads of money!) to follow the law. If you forgot to define fines for non-compliance or made them too small, they won’t follow the law, either, of course, so the fines have to be painful enough so they can’t just file them away as “costs of doing business”.

Just use shift+Ctrl+V for that.
