Forum.Rojadirecta.es has nodes dedicated to pretty much any major sporting events: Soccer, NFL, MLB, F1, NBA, Rugby Union, et al.
Mostly they’re direct downloads from sites with way too much advertising, too many popups and misleading links, so they’re best handled with JDownloader2
Actual torrent links are available sometimes.
There are plenty of crops that have to be tended and harvested by hand: Most green leafy vegetables for example.
This opens those fields to dual use alongside power generation, which might reduce agricultural use of fossil fuels, and provide shade for field workers which is especially dangerous with climate change raising heat levels.
Avistaz has the a great selection for Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Indian, Thai, Hong Kong content.
The Internet version of QVC or Home Shopping Network that previous generations used to watch.
Insider spoke to six workers in tech who recently left Austin or are trying to relocate …
…as the default browser on Android phones, the most common computer system on the planet.
I think you’re misunderstanding what the article is saying.
You’re correct that it isn’t the job of a system to detect someone’s skin color, and judge those people by it.
But the fact that AVs detect dark skinned people and short people at a lower effectiveness is a reflection of the lack of diversity in the tech staff designing and testing these systems as a whole.
They staff are designing the AVs to safely navigate in a world of people like them, but when the staff are overwhelmingly male, light skinned, young and single, and urban, and in the United States, a lot of considerations don’t even cross their minds.
Will the AVs recognize female pedestrians?
Do the sensors sense light spectrum wide enough to detect dark skinned people?
Will the AVs recognize someone with a walker or in a wheelchair, or some other mobility device?
Toddlers are small and unpredictable.
Bicyclists can fall over at any moment.
Are all these AVs being tested in cities being exposed to all the animals they might encounter in rural areas like sheep, llamas, otters, alligators and other animals who might be in the road?
How well will AVs tested in urban areas fare on twisty mountain roads that suddenly change from multi lane asphalt to narrow twisty dirt roads?
Will they recognize tractors and other farm or industrial vehicles on the road?
Will they recognize something you only encounter in a foreign country like an elephant or an orangutan or a rickshaw? Or what’s it going to do if it comes across that tomato festival in Spain?
Engineering isn’t magical: It’s the result of centuries of experimentation and recorded knowledge of what works and doesn’t work.
Releasing AVs on the entire world without testing them on every little thing they might encounter is just asking for trouble.
What’s required for safe driving without human intelligence is more mind boggling the more you think about it.
The moment those Chinese EV startups enter the US market, Tesla will be in real trouble if they don’t have their product quality image problem fixed by then.
It’ll be like Detroit’s Big 3 automakers tanking when small fuel efficient Japanese cars landed in the 70s oil crisis.
Assuming those Chinese EV companies don’t have their own quality problems…
Get thee to eD2K.
They have a smattering of magazines back to the 70s.
It’s far from a complete archive, and the scan quality varies tremendously but it’s there.
Otherwise, try to get an empornium account. Nearly everything porn ever is there.
To continue my travails:
Httrack didn’t do a great job: It was slow, even copying from the same machine, and it flattened the directory structure of the website it was writing, making it almost un-navigable.
Here’s where Cyotek WebCopy shines: It’s copying the website from SurfOffline’s database webserver quickly, so I should have the entire website re-extracted very soon!
That used to be true, and I keep Chrome and Edge installed just in case, but honestly I haven’t had to use a different browser in years.
Any web page problems that I found turned out not to be Firefox related.
But if you like Chrome, there’s nothing wrong with that either.
Then ye need plenty of wenches! And he-wenches and nonbinary wenches, if ye be that way!
And grog! Plenty of grog!
The problem with older media is that you have to actively create torrents, the tracker might fold, etc.
With eD2K, it’s very old school P2P filesharing, just give it a directory and the files on it are shared on the network.
Of course, the “push” part to torrent tracker sites isn’t as active.
I use both torrents and eD2K, depending on what I’m looking for.
I installed and played around with ArchiveBox after your suggestion.
The login/cookie copying function seems to be oriented to how Chromium is installed on Linux, which I don’t have up and running in any meaningful way, and there doesn’t seem to be any support place where I can ask questions.
Okay, I found SurfOffline that does the trick without too much hassle, but…
It’s verrrrrrrry slooooooooow.
It uses Internet Explorer as a module, and calls each individual resource separately, instead of file copying from IE’s cache, which is weird and slow, especially when hundreds of images are involved.
And SurfOffline doesn’t appear to be supported anymore, i.e. the support email’s inbox is full.
edit: Aaaaand SurfOffline doesn’t save to .html files with a directory structure!!! It stores everything in some kind of sql database, and it only saves to .mht and .chm files, which are deprecated Microsoft help file formats!!!
What it does have is a built in web server that only works while the program is running.
So what I plan to do is have the program up but doing nothing, while I sick Httrack on the 127.0.0.1 web address for my ripped website.
Httrrack will hopefully “extract” the website to .html format.
Whew, what a hassle!
Webcopy looks promising if I can get the crawler part of it to work with this site’s authentication…
edit: I couldn’t get Webcopy’s spider to authenticate correctly.
Webcopy uses the deprecated version of Internet Explorer in Windows 10 as a module, and I can log into the website using the Capture Forms browser dialog, but the cookies or whatever else don’t translate over to the spider.
Interesting idea. Unfortunately the cookies weren’t in cleartext in the page headers. I found the cookies values in the networking values, pasted them into htttrack, but that didn’t work.
My html cookie-fu is weak.
I have an account, so that’s not a problem. The problem is how to automate going into every little content page and downloading the content, including the hi-res files.
And cryptocurrency mining. That drove a lot of GPU prices through the roof before the pandemic.
Also, most young kids play games on phones and tablets, because parents don’t need to buy an expensive console or PC.
