What about tracking what episode you're on? And having profiles so each member of the family can track what episode they're on? I mean, I'll be switching to Jellyfin but that's a good reason to not just do what you say, unless I'm missing something.
Great opportunity for open source web services.
Huh. I coulda sworn mine had the crank. On the other hand, maybe they only promised it for later delivery and I barely used it after a few days experimenting, since it was so limited, and eventually tossed it along with a lot of other eWaste.
Many many years ago, I bought an OLPC, actually a pair, one for me, the other they sent to Africa or some other place. I do not remember the year even vaguely. I do remember it had a crank to windup and charge the battery. I bought the two because (from memory) the purpose of the laptop was strictly limited:
* Carry all textbooks on one laptop, instead of having to walk miles to school and back with a heavy backpack.
* Have modern eBook textbooks, not fifth generation hand-me-downs which had been written in a different language for a different country. This was certainly important for indoctrination in local history and culture, but it even applied to math textbooks, whose examples could well use cultural aspects which were literally foreign.
* Be rechargeable with that windup crank for kids whose homes had no electricity.
* Use a screen to read those books instead of having to stop using them after dark or by candles or oil lamps.
In particular, I had never heard that they were meant to teach computer science. It might have been a nice side effect, but I did not think it was any kind of a primary goal. The primary goal was to help young children learn.
There's no good reason to use it. Just encode your video for random-access streaming, set up Apache or nginx with a URL that you make sure isn't indexed, require a client cert on the directory if you really want to be careful, port forward to it from a port on your router, set up dynamic DNS, and use a web browser. No arbitrary restrictions, just your content on your terms.
That assumes that such a plan can exist. Why do you assume that it does?
I don't, and you don't understand the argument. Their business plan is simply not viable and they should fuck off and someone with a viable business plan should use the space they were wasting.
It's dangerous to go alone. Take this.
That's interesting to know. I never spent a lot of time with NeXTStep, though I have played with it a little bit. I think I have a VM for an x86 version around here somewhere, but it was a little crashy in a way that the 68k machines weren't and I don't know which piece's fault that is. I spent more time with OS X, but not a whole lot, so I didn't get that far into it.
Most of the vehicles sold internationally meet **EU** safety standard. Standards which are almost always higher than those here in the US.
(Even more so today, in fact, since Trump has been busy cutting back US agencies ability to actually do what they're tasked to do.)
But yeah, convince yourself that they're all cheap low-quality garbage and that fat-assed American SUVs and pickup trucks are exceptional....
Just fall backwards, mouth open.
For a mobile device, I'm not sure I would let that much data stack up unique to the device. Pictures/video I would try to do backups on a PC before it got to that.
None of it is unique to the device — I have backups of everything — but I still want the photos and videos on the new phone.
