The UHF app on our Apple TVs & iOS devices and the UHF Server in Docker to act as a PVR gives us everything for a few $ a month paid in crypto.
We haven't had cable since ~1999-2000. Downloading and the *arrs have kept us happy, but the better half wanted to check out some live sports. So IPTV it was.

I've used Claude at home for ages. Work was wanting to get some AI stuff for us and the only 'blessed' one is CoPilot. Everything else it blocked. All senior management seems to know about AI is "Hurrr... Copilot and ChatGPT."

Out team of ~8 (pentestesting & VA) were unanimous about Copilot being crap and Claude being the top dog. So some higher ups OK'd a Claude Teams package for work. To bypass the CorpSec tards, we use it from our lab environment that has its own unmonitored link and IP range.

Anthropic/Claude is just so far ahead of OpenAI/ChatGPT and MS/Copilot it's not funny.

1) the USA is bigger than all of EU geographically. Seattle to Miami is about the same distance as London to Tel Aviv Israel.
2) Population Density. The US has huge swaths that are less dense. Between LA and SF, is basically farmland with some cities here and there. The HSR is being built right in that corredor and this is the BEST we have so far ... no trains.
3) Unions. The whole project was largely created as a make work program for Unions at prevailing wage. Which feeds the (D) party coffers exclusively.
4) Democrats. Democrats run the state. They can't blame R for anything. But they do anyways.

We have "high speed rail". They are called Airplanes. For the cost of the HSR project, California could buy every man/woman/child at least 10 Round Trip flights between any two CA airports. This does not include the cost of the train tickets, which are largely expected to exceed plane tickets for the same trip.

Unfortunately, trains have some sort of emotional capture with a group of people who don't care about such things like costs, because they are covered by taxpayers.

Comment Over Budget (Score 1, Troll) 99

I can almost guarantee that the cost of this will spiral out of control and take way longer to complete than they are telling you right now.

CA High Speed Rail, was supposed to be done by now, it doesn't have a single working section, and has already ballooned its expenses. But here we are, throwing good money after bad, instead of cutting it off.
