First time? 🙂

They refused to send a model and asked him not to review until the new software was out. So they knew. He bought one anyway.

👍 Precisely.

Don’t encourage the behaviour. As the saying goes… Give a man a fish and you’ve fed him for a day… Teach a man to fish and you’ve fed him for life.

This a huge step back for transparency with Meta (shocker). Access to this data is important for a variety of reasons, and using the recent EU laws as an excuse is deplorable (again, shocker from Meta).

It’s clear the data companies were left alone for too long to rule the schoolyard. It’s going to take some time to treat them and others what decorum looks like without throwing an absolute hissy fit.

Here’s hoping the EU, which seems to be the only teacher on the playground willing to discipline anyone, will set them straight.

😂 As a Canuck, we use both. But the computer term is definitely Kernel. Unless we’re marching out on a battlefield…

The posterdb was never an automatic source for Plex. They pull from thetvdb/themoviedb. Sometimes there is overlap if someone has uploaded their posters to those sources, but often not.

You have to manually add the posters from the posterdb via link or uploading it to Plex yourself.

Why?

Theposterdb has stated they needed to transition their payment provider, and it didn’t make sense to keep incurring costs until that was complete. The reason is right out in the open.

Someone give this writer a raise for not using AI to describe a new algorithm.

I’ve been eyeing Spider-Man Remastered for awhile, but never pulled the trigger due to price and the amount of time I have. I’d love to explore that world though!

Thanks so much for doing this.

I’d imagine it’s scant on details because it’s still a theory. The next phase of the competition is funds to build a proof of concept.

Wireless switches — consisting of a transmitter on the switch and a receiver near a light fixture or other appliance — have been around for many years, and have been proven that they can reduce the material and labour cost for wiring houses, says Kambiz Moez, director of electrical engineering in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, but they require batteries to operate.

So the product already exists, what is novel here is a concept to harvest RF energy I stead of batteries.

Yes, it talks about ownership, because the original poster talked about ownership.

Google hosts files, and thus needs to have some semblance of control over what actually is hosted on it, or they become liable for the same content.

Pirated material? Child pornography? etc. It all needs to be scanned and determined if it violates rights/laws and be dealt with.

Google has always done this automatically, because the sheer scale of content they host is overwhelming.

I totally understand the ‘own everything’ mentality that some hold. That’s fair – then host it yourself, encrypt it, and you can hold the key to your little kingdom. For most people, that isn’t a factor.

To get back to the original claim – they don’t claim rights over what you post. It is yours. You just can’t host other people’s stuff. The definition of that is incredibly broad and largely commercial. 99% of people will never, ever run into the issue. 99% of the remaining 1% will discover it innocently (such as another poster trying to back up office). The remaining will already be versed enough to encrypt their data locally before uploading.

Google explicitly stated the exact opposite of what you’ve said here: Google Drive Terms of Service

For the needs you described, you want to go with power efficiency. Check to make sure your quicksync version can handle h265, and you’ll be fine

The title doesn’t seem to match the article. For nearly all the games the performance was identical or negligible.

There’s lots of great things about 3.5, but bumping FPS significantly doesn’t seem to be one of them, at least yet.

It seems you’ve got it all figured! Cheers.

You’re blowing smoke, without looking anything up from the source. Happy reading.

This seems to be an issue with the hosting provider, but it suggests hosting elsewhere and links instructions for migrating the server elsewhere.

Is it? We’re flying without all the information here, but a disproportionate number of servers on one infrastructure could resist alarm bells and lead to a naming of the entire IP range in conjunction with that hosting provider which no longer wants this kind of behaviour in it’s infrastructure.

It’s totally feasible, just conjecture. Possible deniability Andy adjusting you’re willing to be proactive as an organization matters legally.

Because they’ve stated that on many, many occasions. The only time they /might/ have any idea is on metadata retrieval, which is highly anonymized. Their relationship to you is highly a “Don’t ask, Don’t tell” one.

You could, and others have, spent time sniffing Network traffic to see what data goes out and when to confirm for yourself.

If they did know, they would place themselves in the spot of policing what is on your media server (and how it got there), rather than being the platform and leaving it up to each individual to collect, rip, and store their mass collection of blu rays.
