I see. it's mainly the insane RAM pricing that's got them so high.
I guess that makes sense. (local microcenter only had 16GB ones).

I hadn't looked in a while.

Pi5 mainboard is $250+ at microcenter; so a cyberdeck here would be more than a cheap (likely better) used laptop.

If you don't care about the form factor/cool factor, and just want something with a bit of processing power on the go, a used laptop seems like a no-brainer.

I can imaging this being more about space savings than weight saving.

If you can jam batteries capacity into every part of a thing, it would be pretty neat.
but 'long lasting' sounds like crazy talk.

this will make items even more disposable.

They seem to have tens of thousands of live concerts up on their site that aren't even part of this collection.
So, it seems to be ok. Unless they are in a constant fight over all those live show recordings. i didn't even know they had them until just looking based on this article.

RIAA usually only owns the studio recordings, as well; the bands would own the performing rights.
Not that that would stop the crazy-litigious recording industry.

I'm listening to one of this "Low" show recordings now. and it says the source was a Master DAT on the recording's page -- probably meaning it came from the sound board.
i wonder if this guy was a sound tech.

The 'about' section about the collection says: "He started taping shows in the early 1980s, using cassette tapes and later transitioning to DATs and digital formats. "

There's a convenient search feature... no Kraftwerk; but I guess the original article says they are still archiving. so maybe they have it.

" No matter what safeguards you put in place, there will be " -- illegal material or products of exploitation.

That goes for any business any business at scale.

Amazon / ebay / etc have the same problem with illegal / fake products and content.

Reddit, Youtube, Facebook, Twitter have the same problem with illegal content that is missed by moderation.

Every platform faces this same challenge (beyond the internet). I don't find that to be a compelling reason to make the business illegal if it's core business should not be illegal. How to determine the burden of moderation (is the platform doing enough to combat the problem) ... that is a difficult question, but I think that is the more important thing than does X appear on this platform.

maybe it makes it into animal feed?
you can only hope; i would assume if a company can make simple additional revenue from what would otherwise be waste, they will.

... on the other hand.
This is a very hard problem without de-anonymizing accounts. So, at least they are thinking of solutions.

Or it could just be a vector to spread a single attack out onto an entire group of accounts.

Hack Charlie, and now you can 'recover' Alice's account. Repeat for all connections.

I'm assuming they thought of this when creating the feature, but I have low trust.

Then why aren't they cutting all the other corporate subsidies at the same time?
Save us some money and get rid of all the corporate welfare.

So much WTF here.

1. How can the FCC legally block this just because they don't like the company's hiring practice or internal training?

2. Verizon sold a ton of stuff to Frontier. Now it is buying them. That's more funny than WTF; as it isn't totally uncommon. Sell a business for millions, buy it back for pennies.

Pump+Dump Don.

Just like with $TRUMP and $MELANIA;
He's probably just planning to make bank for his people by using insider trading information.

Again. how does this put China in a losing situation?
How will anything they are doing convince our allies to start a matching trade war with China?

Instead we are getting our allies to re-consider if they should buy American.

This is not Fucking China.

Sure.

But how is anything the Republicans are doing fight China?

Seems to me like they are empowering China, while removing the USA as the only competing world power.

Totally slashing our soft-power? That will boost China's influence and access to third-world resources.

Fighting with allies? Weakens our hard-power.

Trade war with almost everyone? We don't make much that other nations can't source from China or Europe.

I was thinking the same thing. Did this happen during the test drive.

Assuming that the dealer could disable the ads during the test-drive - would a consumer be able that then use that as evidence that this is a bait-and-switch?
