Comment lets talk about endurance (Score 2) 64

> firmware geared towards write performance and high endurance

because stock firmware was geared towards slowness and losing data ...

>480GB
>Endurance Rated for 30GB/day host writes for 4 years under typical client workloads

for math challenged: this is 43TB of written data, after that your guarantee is VOID and NULL

43TB on a 480TB drive, this is more than a joke, this is spitting in your face. This comes from Toshiba - manufacturer of both controller and flash memory, party that is best informed about REAL endurance capabilities of that combo.

In case you are wondering - Samsung doesnt impose any write limitations on their 3 year guarantee for 840 EVO drives. Both drives look pretty much the same in tests.

See the problem?
Your average popcorn eating movie lowing consumer cant tell the difference _as it is now_, so obviously he is not the target market. Audio nuts are the market, and they will argue hearing bad capacitors in the power supply, why should they buy new setups when sound it produces will be polluted by DRM in the first place?

You simply CANT offer 'super duper sound quality' and SHIT in the speakers at the same time, all you archive is hi quality shit.

This doesn't even stike me as an "Unlimited vs Unmetered", argument, this strikes me as a, "for live, personal, in-person client use vs for server-type or impersonal use" argument.

yes, its because you are a well conditioned American sheeple
Meanwhile I get 250/20 Mbits, with bundled tv and phone for ~$30, with no data caps, no asterisks with small print, no T&C bullshit.

Comment Potential for modding/injecting video (Score 2) 81

You can emulate any USB device with something like Facedancer
http://goodfet.sourceforge.net...

USB DVB tuners just output MPEG2 transport stream when they are properly tuned to mux frequency.

You can use OpenCaster
http://www.avalpa.com/the-key-...
to build your own stream.

This means if will be relatively easy to build small usb dongle device capable of injecting h.264 video into Xbox 180.
Of course I have no clue about xbone 180, maybe* its already capable of playing h.264 natively, and there is no need for hacks if you want to use one as a media center.

* just checked, yep, xbone can stream h.264 natively

Compared to what you can get in Europe or Asia, those "decent prices" are in fact insanely expensive.

You seen to think "Europe" = London or Paris.

ISP rates are directly related to population density.

BULLSHIT, not in Europe. You can get 1Gbps in rural Romania/Poland for ~$30. The key is NEW (actually build right now, not some 30 years ago) fiber infrastructure and new ISPs connecting everyone.
