Don't forget the current supreme court motto though: "rules for thee but not for me". Only massive and rich corporations will be allowed around copyright rules, but you and I and indie and open source will be held to the letter of the law.

Plex has started to enshittify as well. I switched to jellyfin because Plex had features behind pay walls and kept going "oops I accidentally changed your settings so you have to look at the plex home screen with ads for our streaming service".

No shot 4 SSDs will be the same price as a HDD of the same capacity yet. HDD is still the king of GB/$.

If I'm wrong... Can you send me some links? I could use some cheap 8TB SSDs.

Bandcamp seems decent but it's got a small and niche catalog.

One of the concerns I would have with custom ROMs for TVs is that I think a lot of the image processing magic that makes the image look good on these high end displays is done in some proprietary method that the custom ROM wouldn't be able to use. Either in software or in hardware.

The magic of the high end TVs isn't actually in the panel itself as much as in the driving of the panel.

It's really just a shortening of "a week from Saturday", so more of a dialect than language thing.

There's no need to make these things Big Tech, so if that's why you are opposed to it, reconsider what you are actually opposed to. This could be implemented in a FOSS way or an open standard.

So you not trust HTTPS because you'd have to trust big tech? Microsoft and Google and others sign the certificates you use to trust that your are sending your password to your bank and not a phisher. Like how any browser can see and validate certificates, any camera could have a validation or certificate system in place to prove that the data is straight from an unmodified validated camera sensor.

You might find the OM5 to be a good option if you still want a "real" camera that's not point and shoot and still really small. With a pancake lense and big pockets it should be pocketable. I got a used EM5 which is the old version of a very similar body and with the pancake lense it feels like a point and shoot with good ergonomics and lots of manual control options.

I think Lumix has some options as well.

He's already owned it for nearly two years. I'd definitely take the over on that bet. I just don't see what Twitter could possibly do that they haven't done already to kill it?

Cross country ski vs downhill ski

Gas being a better energy source than batteries in every way except for the health and environmental issues is a real bitch and why this is such a problem. Cords are a hassle and you will need a lot recharging batteries all the time, so you notice the downsides immediately and acutely. These are solvable problems though. Even running an efficient gas generator would be better for the health of landscaping contractors than being around 2 strokes all day.
