No, the value of my life is infinite, fuck the planet.

Thanks for the history lesson, it really helps frame why things are as they are.

I liked your story, It gave me a new prospective on a strictly vocational carrier path and how people are disposable in todays society.

Finally reading a comment I agree with, very rare here on Slashdot.

Why? Is it because the truth hurts?

Look up Windows 10 Media Center on the MDL fourms, there is a hacked version WMC that works in Windows 10. Been using for almost a year and it's great.

I hear all this talk about alternative like electric, which require vast amounts of lithium for the batteries which fail after about 5 years. I haven't found one post about Hydrogen, the most abundant element in the universe and which ICE engines can burn and old ones can too with modifications. I think this is best option because and ICE engine dozen require any exotic or rare earth metals like Fuel Cell needing platinum and or iridium or electric cars needing lithium do.

What pain did Microsoft inflict on you? Did Microsoft put sugar in your gas tank? Did they leave air out your tires? Did Bill Gates break in your house and steal your teddy bear? You sound like those idiots who blame America for there problems, when in fact that is not true at all. Heck if it wasn't for Microsoft, there wouldn't be PC gaming or cheap computers that are powerful. The Market itself would still be fractured and filled with competing incompatible formats. So in the Microsoft is net good, and bill gates is probably a great guy.

You can fix that with a simple antenna depending on where you live.

Your welcome for the links, Iagree with you on the protected content part, I don't think SiliconDust will deliver, for a number of reasons mainly thatcable labs certification is unnecessarily draconian and only companies like Microsoft have theware with all toget there software certified. Also I think that there really is no completive reason to have devices that can compete with the cable companies cable box racket. I really wish the TV networks would go all IP, it would makethings allot easier.

You can run Windows Media Center on Windows 10. Some great guys have made a patched version which works well. Windows 10 gives you Netflix and Amazon on the same box. https://forums.mydigitallife.i... also there is this https://www.tablotv.com/tablo-...

Where do you live abouts that you don't get any OTA signal? I know most of broadcast tv suck, but I like watching the news, late night, and old tv shows on all the new niche tv channels. I personally live near Monterey Park hills where getting reception is hampered even though I am near the near the TV broadcast antennas on Mount Wilson. I had to resort to buying a big ass Winegard outdoor TV antenna and put it on 25 ft. mast to get reception on all the available channels. Also the ATSC signal sucks too, there is no grade b signal choice like in other systems.

I am all for helping to keep the environment clean, but not the cost of screwing over poor people which emission testing really dose. I live in Southern California at least the state has some help for the poor for emission related car repairs.

This is what needs to be done, we as a society must take care of those who cannot take care of themselves.
