... to bear ARMs!

True. It's damned tough to get out of a car that's being pushed across a farmers field by a flooding creek. And it doesn't take much water velocity to move a vehicle and pin the doors closed.

One ticket for me. One for my Uncle eBay. One for my cousin Craig Slist, ...

... what sorts of entanglements such funds entail?

I have an XBox with a broken power supply. Can I sent it to him and get it fixed?

The road in TFA didn't appear to be a "high speed roadway". It doesn't really matter how slow you try to drive through a puddle like that. Suck some water into the intake manifold and your engine's a goner. Even worse with EVs, I've heard. Pictures somewhere of a parking lot full of water damaged EVs catching fire.

It's possible to short SpaceX and hedge your ETF. If you really believe that this stock is going to be a stinker.

I think a lot of this whining is just MDS (Musk Derangement Syndrome) due to his DOGE activity.

Probably true. But with the OS source, I'm guessing that the tweaks will involve writing new applications from the ground up. Or creating plug-ins for something like VLC that can grab the program stream from the tuner and paint it on the screen. Most of the broadcast stuff is based on open standards anyway.

The big value added for advertisers is viewer market region and identity customization of ads. That will go away with most foreseeable home brew viewer apps. So ads will have to be stitched in to the program stream much the way network TV works today.

Make insightful comments and pose numerous thought provoking questions.

... was an important resource for open source projects for many years. Since Microsoft took it over, it seems to be falling on its face frequently.

So I guess my comment is: Mission accomplished, Microsoft.

The kernel isn't really worth keeping closed source.

They have to weigh the logistical burden of sharing source code they don't really care much about versus the very large and real technical burden of changing their technology stack.

You plug the tuner's USB port into a networked storage device. Which looks like a hard drive on the USB end. But a little streaming server on the back end.

Something that most of the techies here can figure out. Leaving the non-tech people as fodder for the commercial cloud businesses.

Looks a lot like that ATSC tuner/DVR which I bought for about $30.

... job on the line? Because that looks like a great "low human capital" type job to start with.

Why are you pretending Israel does? pWhat's good for the goose ...
