We're still in the stone age with glass strength.
The death of physical media, however, does mean the end of very high quality releases of some content, due to significantly higher levels of data compression used on streaming content.
'AMAZING 4K HDR DOLBY VISION ATMOS 29721917 channel sound!'
Stream size: 2GB.
4k BD-remuxes of similar length TV shows: 15-50GB.
Looking at you, Disney+. They're the worst offender. Netflix actually used to offer BD quality streams if your device and connection could handle it. They've since cut it in half. Probably more, last I checked was when ST3 came out.
Netflix is also surprisingly strong on DRM now too. Only the very most popular shows get their 4k versions decrypted (vs ripped from HDMI streams), and it takes months sometimes. Apparently apart from the technical difficulty, you need an nVidia Shield to do it, and it gets banned after 1-2 episodes. So a lot like the DeNuvo situation with games (only worse since you don't need to keep burning $200 hardware devices).
The framers never imagine uncrackable safes or strong boxes. The assumption would have been once the government obtained a warrant they could at some point get at those goods.
This just simply isn't true. They're not uncrackable safes... they government can absolutely get their contents. But the contents are encoded. The Founders were absolutely not strangers to secret code ciphers for protecting the contents of documents, indeed many of them used such techniques. There was zero expectation the government would always be able to decrypt the documents they seized, since while almost all of those techniques are crackable with computers now, they weren't back then.
The government has a looooooong history of lying to us about pretty much everything and now we know they lied about Pfizer and almost everything related to it (masks, social distancing, safe and effective, etc) while suppressing all data and scientists who questioned anything the government put out.
Don't worry, I'm sure you'll add antivax beliefs to your repertoire of deluded conspiracy theories eventually.
I'm a small elle libertarian who demands real science backed by real data using the Scientific Method.
You claim that in theory, but in practice, you clearly listen to anyone who says the people following that method are lying, and adopt whatever contrarian view suits your belief, finding the outlier views and results that support your beliefs over a fair reading of the weight of the evidence. That's not "real science", "real data", or "the Scientific method". You're just yet another right wing conspiracy nut who can't admit it to themselves so say you're a libertarian with false objectivity.
I have broken more Elton John records. He seems to have a lot of records. And I, by the way, I donâ(TM)t have a musical instrument. I donâ(TM)t have a guitar or an organ. No organ. Elton has an organ. And lots of other people helping. No, weâ(TM)ve broken a lot of records. Weâ(TM)ve broken virtually every record. Because you know, look, I only need this space. They need much more room. For basketball, for hockey and all of the sports, they need a lot of room. We donâ(TM)t need it. We have people in that space. So we break all of these records. Really, we do it without, like, the musical instruments. This is the only musical â" the mouth. And hopefully the brain attached to the mouth, right? The brain. More important than the mouth is the brain. The brain is much more important.
It's a testament to the effectiveness of right wing propaganda that people think Trump isn't, at a minimum, as senile and addled as Biden. There's many more quotes as bad as the above. Go on, tell me with a straight fucking face Trump isn't duller than Biden, especially when 90% of what you idiots claim is senility is just Biden's lifelong stuttering and foot-in-mouth problem. If Biden isn't aware he's wearing pants, Trump isn't aware what year it is, where he is, or capable of doing anything besides being a babbling incoherent moron.
Nothing more reliable than conservatives and projection. Trump is dangerously senile, therefore you falsely claim Biden is.
Make headway at work. Continue to let things deteriorate at home.
