...on its face as it boots up?

Yeah, exposing a film to DLP is a little different than to a rounded, bezel-masked CRT

The media format is 16mm film. Here's the irony. Unlike U.S. television shows, BBC was an early adopter of video tape. (Recall that video tape was invented really late, available in 1956; everything before then had to be either live or telecined from film live.) But when shipping shows to far-flung international destinations, BBC "transferred" the video tape to film by filming a TV! That's what was found in the collector's cardboard box. That BBC used video tape is what allowed them to erase said video tapes.

Prosecution must have argued she deceived customers into thinking they were getting something they could legitimately used.

18 U.S. Code 2320 defines "counterfeit mark" rather broadly. Included in the definition in (f)(1) is a "spurious ... label ... likely to ... deceive".

Why would a website containing "tech" in its domain name feel a need to put "requirements" inside scare quotes and refer to it as "parlance"?

It may not be as much as we need or hope for, but I still about fell out of my chair laughing. Now I can make things shitty without even getting up!

Based on 5-10 minute videos like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zZP1uzp_YQ, I look forward to feature-length fan replacements for Episodes VII, VIII, IX. Perhaps within a year?

Grocery stores and Wal-Mart trimmed their hours for COVID and never restored them. We are definitely no longer on the 24-hour society trajectory we were on in decades past.

...that this sort of thing was a possibility when the first ATX power supplies came out. I still say that if you can't disconnect the power source, especially if it's a difficult to remove battery for a laptop or phone, you can't really turn it off.

...not guilty plea, even if you are caught with the chicken head bitten off and you're covered with blood, because it leaves the door open for a plea deal, which you can sometimes swing by saving the government the cost of a pointless trial. It's just one of the rules of the game.

This is what happens when you lack the ability to express emphasis in your output. Perhaps he should have posted his opinion in Markdown for clarity.

I know of several legacy industrial systems running DOS, as they depend on software with built-in drivers which must communicate with long EOL ISA or PCI interfaces. It's expensive, but there are sources for legacy hardware (as well as old surplus) for this very market. Yeah you might pay USD$10K for a machine capable of reliably booting MSDOS 3.3, but it's cheap compared to the $250K CnC lathe or mill for which there are no more modern controls.

Guess I am using a different Reddit.

Reddit is not social media; it's a message board. Nothing so similar to 1980s UseNet can be considered social media, which debuted in the mid-2000s with MySpace (though the term "social media" wasn't even coined until the launch of the second such example, which was Facebook).

The difference between Reddit and social media? The latter puts profile and pictures at the core, whereas they are incidental in the former -- both used only to support the primary purpose which is text-based discussion.
