Comment Linus is talking out of his ass (Score 1) 603

The truth is that the vaccines are still in trial till 2023. We have no idea at this point what the long term effects of the vaccines will be. After the trial ends in 2023, scientists will be able to collate their findings, and at that point we will be able to determine whether or not the mRNA vaccines are safe or not. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise - because they are not being honest. We just don't know at this point.

Comment Tumblr should have embraced the porn (Score 1) 119

Honestly, there is no other platform out there to share porn. Considering how much traffic porn generates, and the fact they owned porn sharing,
Tumblr should have embraced it. Now they have destined themselves to be just another wannabe social media platform.

I'm still pissed at them because of Squeezebox. I have two perfectly good Squeezeboxes gathering dust because they chose to abandon the Squeezebox community. As the rest of the world moved on to UPNP and standardized home media streaming platforms, Logitech chose not to. I would be hesitant to buy any higher end products from them that fall into this category again.

It's really hard to tell what Facebook is actually doing. It has become clear that lying to congress is totally acceptable if it is to be regarded in the interests of 'National Security'. Government actors have been caught out time and time again lying to congress without consequence. If Facebook is indeed doing this, Zuckerburg would have some kind of protection in this circumstance. The more pertinent line of approach here would be to determine if Facebook receives revenue from Security actors

Comment Re:It'll still support Kodi ! (Score 1) 123

The Upgrade is not complex if you are in a hurry. I used ATV Flash Kodi Edition. ( https://firecore.com/atvflash-... ) It cost me about $29 but its money well spent. The installation was fast and smooth. It replaces the ATV OS with OpenElec/Kodi which is a flavor of Linux built built to serve as a media platform ( https://openelec.tv/ ) . If you are the adventurous type, you can simply install OpenElec for Apple TV 1 which is free to download. I have an external USB hub that allows me to connect as many External USB drives to my system as I wish - Which Is why I went with the ATV 1 in the first place - later versions of ATV have done away with the USB port, so you have to have NAS to access your media, which is a pain.

Comment Tesla is a whole system (Score 3, Interesting) 117

The Tesla phenomena isn't just about the cars - Tesla's range and supercharger network have played a critical role in their success. Most other manufacturers are still at step 1 in the process - building the cars - and they won't be really successful until their is a common charging infrastructure that all cars can use.
