I just pulled my old hdhomerun out of the drawer the other day. I was thinking if it would even work anymore. tvheadend has been around for a long time, glad to see it.

>Even in motorsports, presumably it’s still mostly showing off? What, you mean like F1 where the rules of the engineering / tech of the car and shaving a second can mean 1st place vs not placing?

I'm replying to the comment that expensive cars are mostly signaling. And it's false. For people who don't like cars (/r/f*kcars is strong on HN) I understand their viewpoint. For people who LOVE cars, we see the de

I've owned or driven cars from almost every auto-manufacturer found in the US/EU. I can clearly say (subjectively) there is a HUGE difference between a Porsche Cayenne GTS, Turbo S or Turbo GT than Any F-Sport Lexus. Sorry, not th

Miata is the exception, it is fun to drive... and it was engineered to be that way.

How can I be wrong if this is all subjective in the first place? I've owned a number of cars, and this isn't just about luxury. It's about the quality of the drive. If you call HVAC and a Stereo luxury, then you haven't

How do you define "thick" or "short" to a non-engineer/tech person? Relative to what exactly?

I think the thing you are missing is that people are quite complex in how they model these things internally. What works for you, may not work for them. I don't think your advice is good "general advice" but if you treat it a

All you are saying is that some people have more volatile earning/spending scenarios. The advice is still the same, the knobs on the spreadsheet are just different. It's not much different than a sales job where income can be high

Correct, or the people doing this for environmental reasons... it's probably not better to do this. It would be better spending money on better insulation (assuming it isn't up to date).

>Expensive cars are mostly about status signalling Uhm, only if you are counting the most basic utility, then you're right. However if you actually enjoy driving (A->A driving), there is a HGUE difference and it's not just s

And you'll see the exact same thing here on HN. Comments here should be read as opinions, not as facts. I see it every time there is a subject I know deeply about, 90%+ of the comments are either factually incorrect or just bad opinion

How do you 100% determine a comment is form a bot/troll?

Even with auto downloads turned off, does it show up in your app library or as a purchased app? You can still have a app library with apps that "should be" downloaded, what happens if its removed from that list?

There is a single toggle to turn this off, if it makes people rage so much for something you get for free (I realize not free beer/freedom) then I don't know what else to say. To be clear, the toggle is to turn off the 'walle

PoE can be cheap, but usually never cheaper than non-poe. But if you have a PoE switch and spare ports, its very nice. The problem comes when you try to design a large network and need random PoE ports on end devices where you can't ho

For me, it makes a difference much later on after buying some computer. I see a usb/c port and think I can plug anything into it that fits and it just works. When it doesn't, it will take hours/days to figure out why and if i

or more obvious like TikTok. Meaning Tiktok in the us is complete garbage for kids, almost like a virus. Whereas in China it's more educational.

I don't think so, from my peer group I don't see this bias. It really is a difference of opinion. Now you can say half the country is brain washed by propaganda, but those people would say the same of you. In reality it's onl

China is much better at hiding anything negative. It's a little insane to me people comparing negatives of US and China. I mean, the simple fact we're allowed to say just about anything we want that is critical of the administrati

OP needs to read up on war history and the US. Spoiler, it's been this way since WWII.
