"Berners-Lee traces the web's corruption to the commercialization of the domain name system in the 1990s"

No, the Internet has become what it is due to the unfettered and low barrier to entry that has been provided by "easy" to use terminals.
When the internet was first conceived and established, the barrier to entry was such that the people on the Internet were nerds and geeks. They had a specialized knowledge and with that had an understanding that you used such a resource of interconnected computers to share worthwhile knowledge, not what you were eating for dinner, or how you decided which ski resort to go to.
The early days of the internet required you to know how to create an init string for your modem, or how to telnet into some random VAX/VMS machine, and then you had access to get more computer knowledge and access to communicate with similar minded nerds and geeks.

Then came the advertising...

I honestly believe the world is a better place for having the ability to easily and openly communicate, but that ease has also created such hate and anger and misinformation that would otherwise have never been seen that I do miss the old days.

So Theaters need a new revenue stream, I think that is a given. the technology has evolved to the point that I can sit at home with DTS certified equipment and a 100" panel or an even larger projector screen and enjoy movies for thousands of dollars, not tens of thousands of dollars. I can pause them, my drinks are cheaper, and there are no morons on their cell phones. If you have a family of 4, that home investment is paid off in 15-20 movies, plus you can game on it and watch anything you like.

Would you pay to see a live concert in a theater? Not the band there in the theater, but a simulcast of a show? The theater would need to be certified ala DTS for sound, and the venue hosting the band would need to be certified for their transmission, or the band could have their own certified broadcast team.
This would work well for huge sold out stadium shows as well as small intimate shows that don't have enough seats for everyone who wants to go.
This gives the theater fresh content, it gives them a revenue stream outside of the movie industry and it lets them control access.

Having recently bought my first Volvo EV, a used C40, I can say that their software team is either sub par, working to impossible delivery deadlines by their managment or vastly understaffed. All of these are ultimately management issues. I have been lucky in that the software works just fine for us. but we came from a very non techy Honda CRV, so a non perfect interface is fine. However there are people on the C40 forums screaming about how terrible it is and that they can't possibly live without their Picture in picture backup camera coming up instantly. Overall the software is meh. the vehicle itself is fantastic. Quiet, smooth, and stupid fast. it is really a perfect commuter car for us.
Would I be happier with better software, maybe, but use it like a car and not a cell phone and its still many orders of magnitude better than a 1983 Chevy Citation.

What happened the other 20 times? was there a failure to generate a result or was the number not random?

Why not just lump all the known or suspected cheaters in with each other? If you have the tech to identify them, just push them into a lobby with others. Kind of like an unlimited class where you can do whatever you want, but you don't get to mess with the stock folks.

Guess I will just use my AMD GPU, the new 9700 series are nice... OH that doesn't work either.
How about the Intel Battlemage GPU, those are very affordable and seem to game well. Oh, not there either?

Well, let use some of this "AI" to write the 64 bit drivers needed to run PhysX on these new GPUs?

So what exactly are the average, non technical, user supposed to use?
What routers are not made in or by China?
I seem to recall an issue where Cisco equipment was getting extra chips installed during manufacturing that sent packets to other places.

Shouldn't we just harden out BGP and IP approve lists to prevent packet from going to specific regions if we want to improve security?

if they are smart, it will be a rebadged Geely exported from Germany to avoid tariffs.

Does anyone here actually understand FDA compliance and responsibility for medical devices?

Discontinuing a training program greatly reduces their AND the hospitals liability.
I am honestly surprised the FDA even allowed a training certification for a life safety device.

Just because a company stops doing something does not mean they have malicious intent. Maybe they are going to start including maintenance in the cost of the device instead of charging people? Or maybe they are going to displace the cost of the training by doing the maintenance. Did you think the certification class was free?

Has anyone here actually worked with Terumo? Were they asked to comment by 404 media? I can't tell since they block the article unless you sign up.

Also do you really want Jane-Sue or Jim-Bob the hospital maintenance person messing with a machine that is literally keeping you alive during surgery, or would you prefer the company that made it, and designed it and literally only supports that machine is making sure its running properly?

But 404 media said this company is evil so they must be. But they won't even allow someone to read their articles without subscribing so who am I to say if they are exaggerating or not.

Turbo and slow motion were a first party thing when I was a kid.

What happens when a California titled car is sold and registered in Texas then sold again and registered in Cali or somewhere else?

Or once its sold in Cali and everyone loses their physical titles 'cause you don't need em anymore' is that car now locked to only be sold or registered in Cali?

For the love of everything, Please do not get an Nvidia Shield. They have been milking the market and though it would do what you want with 5 year old tech, its too expensive for what it is.
There are a ton of "tv boxes" available that run straight up android, so you can set them up to run whatever launcher and whatever apps you want such as Plex, Kodi and SmartTube.
The Rbox series are popular and the one I have works well. I generally am a Kodi household so I put Coreelec on it and its great for my needs.
They are cheaper at the Ali site then the jungle site, but also there are lots of "fakes" out there. Generally they are the same hardware, just lower quality components.

There are also ways to disable the screen saver and sleep completely on the fireTV currently. You have to remote ADB into the device, but you can do it. You still get ads on the main page but, with sleep disabled, Plex should never close.

I appreciate that Amazon sells the hardware so inexpensively, and it generally just works, which is nice for the less technical users. But I also am tired of being inundated with ads. Its to the point that I specifically avoid products that I am forced to watch ads for. - And get off my lawn too!

First in the house was a Vic-20 then an Apple IIe
First I bought with my own money was a used Mac SE with an external 20MB hard drive. I worked three summers to buy that machine and it served me well.
