Ad block is NOT piracy. And use Ublock Origin.

Whole point of the Hyperloop was to stop California from building out high speed rail. And it worked. Musky thought it would cut into his EV sales.

One of these guys is promising to go dictator, eliminate democracy, and seek retribution against those that "wronged" him. Not hard to see why so many are committed to voting against him.

This poll isn't the knock against Biden that many think it is.

Use Firefox. The crypto bros running Brave have been caught multiple times gathering and selling user data. You use Chrome as the base when you want to hoover data.

Ironically, that is why I wanted Stadia to succeed. It would have forced many game companies to consider Linux.

But Google screwed the pooch.

Only if you sold it. Back when cassette tapes first came out, the mystic music industry sued, and the Supreme Court ruled it fair use. So VHS tapes were under the same umbrella. We wouldn't get that same ruling now.

Holy hell, that was one hell of an autocorrect on mobile.

Remember, no business is required to tell the truth. Had a pipeline go through my backyard and you would not believe the lies that company told. Glad I lawyered up instead of believing the lies.

Way back in the day, my best friend had a family friend that owned a computer software store. He rented games and gave us copies of the latest and greatest copy programs with a wink-wink and a nudge-nudge.

They can. I buy and gift games to my son all the time.

It the same mechanism. They can do it, they just don't want to.

There are still plenty of good deals in streaming if you have shifted to on-demand. If you want live TV or sports, they're out to gouge the fuck out of you. Luckily my Wife came around to on-demand only and an antenna. Of course, they're trying hard to take away the antenna option from everyone with ATSC 3.0.

That info can go stale quickly as content licensing changes. I've ran into that plenty.

Republicans can be dismissive, hold the left in contempt, threaten to murder us, but hey Hillary looks like an intellectual that won't put up with stupid people, this is a Democrat problem. Fucking "journalism."

I've seen this before in the 90s. The companies that forced out the best, highest paid staff always suffered.

Would Israel get their hostages back in this cease-fire agreement? No. So why would Israel agree to it and allow Hamas to regroup and rearm?

Working from home does help the local economy, just not the right ones for the C-suite.

Part of it is management that can't handle their duties if they can't walk over and intimidate workers. The other bit is many companies have cash reserves invested in commercial real estate instruments, and can't handle the profoilo hit. And many of those company leaders are also personally invested in that same real estate.

They are examining it and evaluating how much this is just for Hamas to regroup and rearm. But I suppose most here would cheer unabashedly for yet another Hamas rocket attack on Israeli homes.

This is going to be a pyric victory like when they sued Google where they won, but then the traffic and views dropped through the floor.

Attacking piracy AND competition in one fell swoop! Capitalism!

News reports have Reddit making the IPO push this year. Get ready for more DRAMA!

I have a DVD collection I want on my Jellyfin library. What software should I use for compressing these DVD files to sizes matching what you find at sea?

EDIT: Thank you so much everyone! There's so much help for me here, and I'll recommend anyone with similar question as me to read the comments...

Would that work for Blu-ray? I'm guessing not.

Not only that, it would have been easier and cheaper to just shut the whole thing down after taking ownership. His very public (mainly by his own tweeting) stewardship of Twitter is damaging to his reputation, and the reputation of his other businesses. The reality is, he just is that dumb.
