Don't worry... the internet will route around this damage. Discord will become dust.

It's really worth reading the 450 comments on this video Why this crash matters to everyone that flies a drone for a sense of how the recreational drone community is feeling about this crash.

I don't even know where I could even get a hardcopy version of Moses T. Runnels' two-volume History of Sanbornton, New Hampshire, totaling around 1,700 pages or so and published in 1882. But I frequently consult the PDF version I downloaded from one of the numerous web sites that has it available. Then there's my OverDrive Libby account, which gives me access to the holdings of something like eight library networks covering virtually all of a state, plus a university library or two. I voraciously consume news from a variety of sources, including through aggregators like Slashdot and Fark. Plus various academic journals related to my work and other interests, through one of the aforementioned university libraries.

In short, if I'm not asleep or driving, I'm likely reading something. I just use a lot less shelf space and forests than I used to.

excuse me?

if you can't just record your own screen which requires no circumvention -- because in the past the data was encrypted -- that means to use anything anywhere ever you must know if it had previously been encrypted.

This is such bullshit.

"You can have it, you just can't obtain it" is such a bad idea to ever have in law.

but entry pc price is going up too.

Who else remembers 1channel, FlixNet and the others?

Ah... happy days. At one point almost everything that had ever been screened or broadcast was available to anyone with a Raspberry Pi and a copy of Kodi with a few choice plug-ins. I'd gladly have paid $50 a month to have access to all that stuff but now, with the destruction of that piracy vector, much of the content is no longer accessible and what's left is fragmented over a dozen different streaming services that all want to empty your wallet.

Hence I now just watch my collection of hundreds of DVDs and BuRay disks that I bought for a song when the video-hire stores started shutting dow and which I've ripped to my NAS.

I'm not seeing a paywall on the site. uBlock Origin must be doing something.

The UHF app on our Apple TVs & iOS devices and the UHF Server in Docker to act as a PVR gives us everything for a few $ a month paid in crypto.
We haven't had cable since ~1999-2000. Downloading and the *arrs have kept us happy, but the better half wanted to check out some live sports. So IPTV it was.

One of our guys said something to the effect of "Copilot is Corporate Chat. It knows all the useless filler of management-speak, but lacks the competence of the people in the trenches.

Ouch.

I've used Claude at home for ages. Work was wanting to get some AI stuff for us and the only 'blessed' one is CoPilot. Everything else it blocked. All senior management seems to know about AI is "Hurrr... Copilot and ChatGPT."

Out team of ~8 (pentestesting & VA) were unanimous about Copilot being crap and Claude being the top dog. So some higher ups OK'd a Claude Teams package for work. To bypass the CorpSec tards, we use it from our lab environment that has its own unmonitored link and IP range.

Anthropic/Claude is just so far ahead of OpenAI/ChatGPT and MS/Copilot it's not funny.

Blue Origin’s new Glenn made it to orbit on its first launch, and recovered the booster on the second launch. Starship has not made it to orbit yet. New Glenn 7x2 can lift more to LEO than can Falcon Heavy for a partially reusable launch. (If you throw away the Falcon Heavy, it can carry more to orbit than New Glenn).
So SpaceX has competitors that are in some ways ahead.

There are minority investors in both companies, and what happens to them and their shares of the combined company matters to them at least until the whole house of cards comes tumbling down.

The only place it can go. Out through large radiators. The Space Shuttle would have had to immediately re-enter the earth’s atmosphere if the cargo bay doors didn’t open up; its radiators are inside those doors. The radiators on the International Space Station are smaller than the solar panels, but still the second-largest external feature.

I laugh at you all!

A Nigerian prince has contacted me and advised me that I now own ONE BILLION BTC which is being kept in a chest in that nation's treasury. All I have to do is send him 4Kg of gold to cover the costs of the paperwork and all that BTC will be *mine!!

Those of you who speculate on crypto and precious metals are all fools -- only *I* am onto a sure thing.

I shall laugh at you and ridicule you when my container-load of BTC is delivered next week. Hang on, apparently another 1Kg of gold is required because of inflation. No problems... prepare to be humiliated you crypto and bullion fools!!! The wealth will soon be mine!
