the only think that doesn't "work" as vivo claims, at least that I can remember at the moment, is that season passes got sloppy on rescheduled programs--sometines it catches the reschedule, and other times it doesn't.

The rest are dropped features--some outright, like suggestions and continuous recording, and others hidden behind an "upgrade", like the ability to record all series premiers.

They've dropped everything that distinguishes a tiro from any other dvd--well, except for needing to pay them for s subscription, I suppose. And their rf remote control is nice; hopefully I can get it to talk to the pi for mythic (although realistically, I'd usually run it through my appletv and that remote)

Teaches algebra to kids barely old enough to count. Highly recommend. No I do not get a cut

They abandoned everything *in* the software that mad a Tivo desirable well before this. It had been just another DVR for some time.

Season passes that worked? Gone.

Subscribing to things like series premieres? Gone.

Suggestions? Gone.

We had a roamio with a lifetime subscription, and dumped it at yet another cox cable price increase.

By that time, we realized that pretty much everything we watched was on broadcast.

We got an orange pi (what a disaster! don't!), an hdhomerun quattro, and a terabyte disk.

we've been using the Quattro's dvd functions, and they've been "good enough" that other projects are ahead of getting the raspberry pi running.

they need to go further.

As I drive off to dutifully buy the wondrous stuff from the last commercial, the current commercial should jump to my phone so I don't miss it!

Music & Sound effects shouldn't even be on the same channel as voice!

Adding channels on a digital distribution isn't as complicated as what it takes to broadcast & decode stereo audio, whether AM or FM.

And then add a "relative volume" slider so that regular volume controls both (or even let the user choose a curve so that music doesn't increase as much as speech [or more, if the user prefers])

>ah i forgot another surprisingly common failure mode: cats peeing on the screen.

fluufffyyy!

it seems to me that removing such jobs would actually be a task well fitted to an AI . . .

The 512-SIM racks can only addreses 64 at a time. This comports with what people noticed about the antenna count.

8x is nearly an order of magnitude difference and chaged my mind about the likely purpose.

Presumably the spammers expect the SIM's to get blacklisted and move on?

But WHO is provisioning a quarter million cards at a time without tripping flags?

How do you do that with end-to-end cryptosystems?

So what? The .gov shouldn't be a shareholder of anything.

On average, people used content warnings to avoid looking at / engaging with content some of the time. On a scale from 1 (always skipped) to 8 (always opened), the average was 5.61. Almost two thirds (63.9%) used content warnings to selectively ignore some content.

This is very far from an anti-content warning outcome. It's saying that content warnings are at least somewhat useful.

Content warnings can relate to a wide range of topics. A single person is likely to have a small number of topics that they wish to avoid. So it shouldn't be surprising that most people often view content after seeing the content warnings.

This is a dumb take.

Bobby has massive MAGA support and is very much in favor of healing uses of psychedelics.

You'd looking for enemies among your allies. That's a sure sign of media brainwashing.

Pharma is your enemy, not your neighbor.

> heart issues such as long QT syndrome

Wikipedia is wrong as usual.

Ibogaine is contraindicated for people with long QT-interval because it temporarily extends it.

This is fine for normal people but not if you already have long QT. It's not hard to see on EKG but some underground clinics don't do the EKG and there have been a few deaths.

There have been no deaths when medically supervised, which is why the Drug Control Act kills people.

> but that is as far as you can go in a 'free' society.

Right. That's why taxpayer-funded medical care is incompatible with a free society.

When I can't afford a healthier diet and a gym membership because I'm forced to subsidize others' rock climbing, dirtbike racing, rugby, and junk-food diets, we've totally gone over the cliff.

The whole thing becomes a positive-feedback loop until it detonates.

Spending 20% of GDP on sick-care with ever-worsening results should terrify any thinking person.

Everybody should be able to choose those things but their insurance premiums should reflect it.
