Man I love it when billionaire assholes finally figure out what the rest of the world has been saying since the beginning.

Logitech hardware: pretty good!

Logitech software: worst shit I’ve ever seen.

Logitech AI: Dead-drunk Skynet telling you to lick your fans.

Wonder if a parent company could own them both.

Pornhub should buy a VPN service. Just cut out the middle man.

The same way that Full Self Driving works: not at all.

but what happens if Cara get’s sold and the new company decides to change it

Same thing that happens if a federated instance goes bad: you leave?

Yeah. With non-pixel phones you can still get SD cart slots, headphone jacks, etc. I think motorola still has cheaper phones that has those things.

It wouldn’t because USBC doesn’t have those expensive standard requirements.

Wow that sucks. I’m glad I’m not in the apple ecosystem.

Which is weird because neither of those things are illegal. You can absolutely tape the radio. You just can’t distribute it. Just like you can copy your own media for your own use as much as you want.

This may just be a semantic argument. Media production can consider it piracy, but that’s irrelevant as it had no legal standing. Without a law prohibiting something, it’s legal. And the fact that they sued and lost means it was never illegal and the media companies can declare it “piracy” or “treason against Columbia Pictures” or whatever they want until they’re blue in the face but no one cares.

The VCR was invented, marketed, and sold to do this very thing. When the VCR first came out (same for betamax) they didn’t sell pre-recorded tapes because the only way they had to make those was to manually record them individually in real-time which was prohibitively expensive. That’s also why movie rental places caught on: early VHS movies were too expensive for most to afford. But not too expensive for a business to rent hundreds of times.

Suffice to say: if recording TV was piracy, it wasn’t illegal and the people bitching had no way to enforce their will.

Completely different discussion. We aren’t moving away from them so not being able to produce them only hurts the us.

Foreign countries flooding the market with subsidized cars will end up killing local production. Then they can control the market.

Really we should be subsidizing EVs from our own manufacturers.

FYI: EV makers adopted Tesla’s chargers a while ago. Fuck Musk. He strongarmed everyone and then threw it in the trash.

I’m getting Pixel 8a ads and I usually trade-in my older a if I start having problems or the new one has a feature. 8a finally has wireless charging (7 mightve, was too soon) but it has this bullshit now. Damnit.

I could see the new Steam Machine essentially just being a Steam Deck in a box. That’d allow it to have beefier hardware but it could use the same software and interface. Add a new tab for HTPC services and a quicker way to get to desktop mode and you’re done. It would be another hardware platform but there’d be a lot less design if they were similar in architecture.

Yes! I already have a full gaming desktop attached to my main 4k HDR OLED tv for watching streaming services that don’t have apps on the actual TV (and adblocking). If I could replace that with an HTPC that has gaming capability that’d be great!

Yeah it’s very effective. It has a big downside of people losing the pegs and then those addresses are “lost” but all that means is that 2 users can’t reliably connect and when they report to IT they will be asked if they had the correct peg. And I guess quarterly do a review for unused addresses that have pegs out and create new ones for lost pegs.

There is no way you can use Spotify and think it has a low amount of music. There are precious few things I’ve looked for it doesn’t have.
