Imagine if small movie theaters could just show films at their own whim. You could have small theaters springing up everywhere. I'm sure there's a boot ready and waiting to smash down this from happening.

This article felt like a classic example of "I just discovered this cool technology that seems to have massive potential! While massively blind and naive to the implications of what I think!" As others point out, the OP will learn

Not a Nix user yet, so i'm wondering if you can describe a little more about the "reproducibility" aspect which implies that you are often "reproducing" stuff. What needs reproducing? What is a basic daily-driver us

> OT: I think the cause of the wealth gap is much simpler. It is the stock market. I imagine a society where there is no stock market, but instead everyone invest in their local economies. We would probably be growing much slower, but wh

Yeah, this space seems pretty sparse. Some of the Radxa SBCs are getting closer to a hardware solution for your vision, but there isn't real mainstream software. A self-hosted DNLA server is probably the most realistic option but DNLA

Jellyfin's worst aspect is the opinionated file structure. You have to set up folders the way it wants, and then the resulting UI browser is what-you-see-is-what-you-get. Pretty sure it's done this way for automated metadata disco

Ultimately, if a kid is super digitally connected and using social media all day, can't his/her final grades be enough evidence? I'd like to hear some arguments how we must ban certain technology in school; meanwhile it'

Correct me if you have more experience, but I have mostly avoided using smart plugs for computers because the PSU capacitors generate a large inrush current which tends to weld the relay contacts over time, causing the plugs to fail prematu

It would seem relatively easy to tie speed to the direction the boat is facing. The more perpendicular you are to the 'wind direction' the faster you move. Or make the fastest velocity 45 degrees from wind direction, for a bit mor

To those who know more about this, who is the "Blue Busters" song targeting? (It's just the Ghostbusters theme) "If there's something strange, stinking up your desk, who you gonna call? Blue busters!"

Haha for example, to the homeowners out there, you should change your water heater anode rod ASAP if you have not. Good luck getting the rod out, because the caps on the water heater get corroded shut. And did I mention you need to drain th

Can you shed more light on this? You are saying that more processes help avoid figuring out correct state logic? Howso?

Maybe Windows 12 will be the promised "last Windows" which 10 was supposed to be. I'd love to know the exec who ordered Windows 11. It stinks of "I need a product on my resume that I launched because being Windows 10 &

The problem with all those devices you listed is that they have lost the "general purpose" ability. I guess you could define "general" to mean "carefully curated"...

I assume manufacturers were making enough motherboards in 2025 to fulfill demand, so what happens when the demand is the same but the production is 25% less? Crazy.

Yeah i hate what you are suggesting, because soon there are uninteresting people chasing every subject trying to convert it into a career. Just leave some things alone ok and quit strangling my hobby with both hands

Yes, if I recall correctly there was a Japanese high-res satellite sent to the moon which took images of earth on the way and then took "high def" images of the moon. That was 2007. So "high def" is like 1080i lol. http

Yes absolutely. My local Best Buy is a depressing hollow shell. The drone section is vacant, the PC part area is now vacant (no GPUs, no RAM, no SSDs). I have visited glorious Microcenter in Dallas, which is a long way from here, and a magn

It's unfortunate that there is huge interest in prolonging lithium battery life because it's an indication of products with hard-to-replace batteries. protected lithium cells are fairly save and easy to replace into devices design

I was ready to install Linux. I installed a new 1TB ssd in my laptop. I shrunk the windows volume using Windows' Disk Management. Then I started reading the Arch wiki on this task. It forced me to learn things like MBR vs GPT. Then it
