Technically I’m half right and half wrong (I think). It’s not illegal to backup media that one owns, but it is illegal to break DRM/copy protection which is required to rip most physical media these days.
Suffice to say the legality of it is a cluster fuck, but the morality, in my opinion, is pretty clear. Fuck the corpos.
But it is legal in the country he lives in as well as the country YouTube is headquartered in.
That just sounds like a worse station wagon. Which, being the owner of a Subaru Outback station wagon, I can confirm.
You don’t sound like a very pleasant person to try and have a constructive conversation with.
It wasn’t Bowser, it was the finance guys that were placed at the head of the company after Satoru Iwata’s death.
Jeff is located in St. Louis Missouri unfortunately.
None of those arguments are very good. Why should they have three sperate cameras? Why should they have a USB-C charging port? Wireless can work as well. Why have a 90Hz display? A 60Hz one would work just as well.
Not only that, there is plenty of space. My BlackBerry Z10 running the BB10 OS (that I could side load Android apps on) had a headphone jack. It was physically smaller, running an SoC built on a much larger manufacturing node with a similar style of swappable battery and enclosure had a headphone jack. I even had to replace it and it cost me less than five dollars at the time.
It costs me less to integrate a headphone jack on a circuit board design than a fingerprint reader.
Also if we are talking about sustainability, Bluetooth earphones have batteries. Most of which can’t be replaced. Weird headphones are literally cheaper and can last longer.
Having worked in this industry, I can’t see any good reason to leave the jack out.
To give users a choice. It doesn’t cost much and it doesn’t take up any room. I have a FP5 and have taken it apart. There is plenty of space where one could be integrated.
Random question for everyone from a bit of a noob. When I’m using Powershell (PS) in windows I can start to type the name of a built in command or one I have added to PATH and then press tab to auto complete the command. That part works the same in my Linux terminal.
What I can also do after I have typed that command into PS is start to type a file name that exists in the directory that PS is working in and then press tab to auto complete or cycle through the files that match and it even formats the name of the file correctly (meaning if it has a space in the name it will wrap the name in quotes so that it is understood by the commands they are fed to). This auto completing of file names even works on files that were created after the PS window was opened. This functionality doesn’t seem to exist by default in any distro I have used. Is it possible to do this in the Linux terminal?
Although I have done some distro hopping, most of them have ultimately been Ubuntu based. Currently running Kubuntu.
I still spend more time on Windows than Linux and I find it much easier to do basic trimming, splicing, resizing, cropping, and other very basic edits of video with just the ffmpeg CLI.
Come on man, let people like what they like. I literally couldn’t care less about sports, and have many issues with the amount of money that goes towards them, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to shit on someone just for enjoying them.
Probably the one where I was in a relationship with the woman I loved more than anyone I ever have and we had an amazing life together going on adventures, making things, blowing things up, and generally just having fun with life and not taking it too seriously. Then I woke up…
I have always said if I could pick my stats I’d like to be as dumb as a box of rocks with charisma through the roof. It’s like a god damn super power.
That’s what I’m saying. Since I apparently shouldn’t have been paying those taxes who do I contact to get it all back?
That would be news to me.
People seem to take an all or nothing approach to how they view topics or judge people, especially when they are very far removed from it. I think my take is a bit more nuanced and has some value for that reason, since I am able to be critical of some of the things they do while enjoying others.
Linus bothers me quite a bit and I’m fairly critical of him, but I don’t know if I would go as far as saying he is a sociopath. We would probably even be friends, but I would call him on his bull shit. This is my own observations but he strikes me as having pretty strong ADHD combined with getting lucky and big a bit faster than he could adjust to.
His company has a much lower turnover rate than the industry standard and it doesn’t seem like anyone that has been on screen couldn’t do well elsewhere. That implies to me that the working environment is at least pretty good. He also seems to want to do right by his employees and knows that he is the face of the company and ultimately their paycheck. That combined with an ego that is a little too big, and maybe some issues with reading the room associated with being on the spectrum (again supposition), makes some of his reactions to public push back understandable even if it’s not OK.
Also it depends on what you consider an IT guy. He doesn’t have experience coding or doing any low level stuff, he just really enjoys building computers and tech in general which can explain a lot of his poor or dumb decisions. What he appears to actually be very good at with tech is his knowledge of supply chains, interactions between companies, and knowing what consumers are likely to actually want.
You answered your own question. They appear to have determined that there wouldn’t be demand.
That’s not really how it works, which is made apparent in the video. Without going into details, IF they decided to pay for all of the product to let the buyers decide and it turns out the buyers are not interested they may not be able to recoup that cost and go out of business.
You are allowed to record content like a broadcast though, which makes me wonder if that means that ripping is illegal, but piping it through a capture card isn’t?
