Amazon's Monopoly of the tech industry is ruining the US economy

I wanted to get printer photo paper for my printer, a Canon. I went to Walmart, They had nothing. Went to Target, they had one pack of photo paper and it was crazy expensive, so I went to micro center. That one was just as expensive. So finally I went back to Amazon, which I was trying to avoid, and saw the price 25 to 40% lower...

Yes, you could have watched a 5- (or 10-) years old movie and went there for a forum full of threads about that specific movie. Some threads might be old, but people did make new threads even after years, and they were all in one place and easy to find. It was a big loss when it was shut down, and I haven’t found a place that offers a similar experience.

Why is there no 28 Months Later?

Also, the button layout on switch controllers is different (A & B is swapped compared to XBox). This mostly matters on emulators, although you can remap the buttons, it can get confusing that they don’t match the games’ instructions on screen.

I really hate that you can only open one settings page at a time. There is no justification to making you lose your place you’re working on just because you want to adjust another minor setting. With the old interface I can e.g. have network and sound settings open at the same time and I don’t know why they took that away.

1Fuji2Taka3Nasubi OP ,
  • One of the government’s justification for the practice was “It was lawful at the time”. Now the Supreme Court ruled the law was never constitutional.
  • The Supreme Court also decided that “statute of limitations” does not apply so plaintiffs can still seek compensation.

Yes, not the best things people have done in the name of their country.

Did you mean:

The cable one is just a regular SATA connector, since SAS HBAs can also control SATA drives (but not vice versa).

I believe the connector you are looking for is called SFF-8482. It is available in backplane and cable versions.

The equivalent of SAS expanders for SATA are called port multipliers, and the JMS562 chip in the picture can act as one (as well as becoming a sort of RAID controller).

1Fuji2Taka3Nasubi ,

OP should be looking at backup before considering RAID anyway, because RAID is not backup.

Disclaimer: this is not from experience so perhaps someone who do run servers with USB HDDs can comment on long term stability of USB as an interface.

Technically speaking, even USB 3 gen 1 (5Gb/s (gigabits per sec)) is far more than enough to saturate a broadband connection (probably under 1Gb/s). Assuming you’re going to use mechanical HDDs, best case they can transfer around 200MB/s (that’s megabytes per sec)), so no problem there either.

You might want to use external 3.5 inch HDDs as they have separate power supplies (less picky on power supplied from USB) and are much more likely to be CMR (which performs better than SMR, best if you check the specific model’s spec to make sure it is CMR) than 2.5 inch ones.

And we’ll leverage said feature until we become the market leader, at which point we will abandon it and begin the next phase of enshittification.

You know Japanese’s reputation for hentai is real when they have open signs in the street aimed at pedestrians riding each other, horsey style.

Reproduction of copyrighted material would be breaking the law. Studying it and using it as reference when creating original content is not.

I’m curious why we think otherwise when it is a student obtaining an unauthorized copy of a textbook to study, or researchers getting papers from sci-hub. Probably because it benefits corporations and they say so?

1Fuji2Taka3Nasubi ,

Don’t know about OpenAI, but Meta used pirated books to train its AI.

1Fuji2Taka3Nasubi ,

I agree that the issues

  • whether AI output are derivative works of its input, and
  • whether input to AI is fair use and requires no compensation

are separate, but I think they are related, in that AI companies are trying to impose whatever interpretation of copyright that is convenient to them to the rest of the society.

And indeed Meta pirated books to feed its AI.

And to think we want to abolish leap seconds because they are ‘too hard’.

What use case is there for a user application to access the ambient light sensor?

1Fuji2Taka3Nasubi ,

I like that the publisher sell on GOG and they update the same time as steam too.

1Fuji2Taka3Nasubi ,

If Meta win this lawsuit, does it mean I can download some open source AI and claim that “These million 4k Blu-ray ISOs I torrented was just used to train my AI model”?

Heck, if how you use the downloaded stuff is a factor, I can claim that I just torrented those files and never looked at them. It is more believable than Meta’s argument too, because, as a human, I do not have enough time to consume a million movies in my lifetime (probably, didn’t do the math) unlike AIs.

But who am I kidding, I fully expect to be sued to hell and back if I were actually to do that.

1Fuji2Taka3Nasubi ,

I think you can be sued in the civil court for anything if someone has the time and money and can convince a lawyer to take up a case against you. For copyright infringment, you can also be criminally prosecuted in some cases.

I think you need to manually adjust the length of the audio stream after you extracted it, they are usually of the common fixed sample rates (like 44.1kHz or 48kHz) and are not tied to the frame rate of the video stream (other than being the same length in time).

For such a small percentage change (a few seconds over something like an hour long) “Change Speed” in an audio editor should be good enough, the shift in pitch should not be noticeable.

It's funny how google pretends the music on YouTube isn't straight up piracy and everyone just goes along with it

Most people have extremely weird ideas of what’s considered piracy and what isn’t. Downloading a video game rom is piracy, but if you pay money to some Chinese retailer for an SD card containing the roms, that’s somehow not piracy. Exploiting the free trial on a streaming site by using prepaid visa cards is somehow not...

1Fuji2Taka3Nasubi ,

Is my understanding correct that Youtube only cares about paying the music right holders? (Because those complains the loudest?) That is, if someone creates an AMV by combining audio and visuals from different sources and uploads it to Youtube, Youtube only gives the monetize profit to the song owner, but not the visuals rights owners?

Louis Rossman/FUTO's YouTube app, GrayJay, now supports Sponsorblock... and shames you if you use it

Seriously this was very surprising. I’ve been experimenting with GrayJay since it was announced and I largely think it’s a pretty sweet app. I know there are concerns over how it isn’t “true open source” but it’s a hell of a lot more open than ReVanced. Plus, I like the general design and philosophy of the app....

1Fuji2Taka3Nasubi ,

He’s still bitter someone Sponsorblocked his cat segment :-)
