Gives users a year to find an alternative and dump their new ‘Fox News’ overlords.
FYI: Roku intends to do mass layoffs prior to the sale in order to “save” $400 million.
Off the shelf Plug and Play (Jellyfin is NOT PnP) alternatives in no specific order:
sauce:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup plain yogurt (NOT greek)
1 tsp fresh dill
1 lime, juiced
Mix together, serve with your tacos.
Literally a Baja, MX tradition.
Nothing actually. TRISO fuel is both meltdown proof and fusion resistant.
Meaning, it resists melting down even without coolant and it resists fusion reactions to a high level bomb. This is because the fuel is about the size of a seed roughly 1mm in size and each piece is coated with layers of other materials to prevent such occurrences.
Prove it or shut up.
CATL has in the past claimed, unsuccessfully:
CATL is a shit company. Period.
Yup, Tom’s is the last of the originals still running (HardOCP, anandtech and sharkyexteme are all gone), but it’s absolutely a garbage site now.
They increase the cost of consumer electricity and water; they increase the temperature of the local area; they generate (in some cases) heavy metal pollution and (in most cases) sound pollution.
What’s not to love? ;)
So sweet and salty foods compensate for both sad and angry… got it.
Just wait until OpenAI and Anthropic get their IPO and the front slowly falls off. A recession will happen shortly thereafter.
IMO, those IPOs are going to result in a recession because once the market realizes LLMs are nothing more than unsubstantiated gains, the bottom will fall out just like it did on dotcom.
Watch, they’ll launch to great fanfare, then the prices of AI credits will go up.
Companies will complain so they’ll release something ‘revolutionary’ that costs a little less, but ultimately costs the AI companies more.
Once the new LLM loses its fanfare, they will be forced to jack prices up to cover costs and ultimately fail.
It’s a tale as old as the markets.
I’m literally a subject matter expert (SME) on Enterprise Storage Arrays and can absolutely attest to ‘hitting it’ being an actual tier 3 support suggestion for spindle drives. It’s still a thing and will continue to be one so long as spindle drives continue to exist.
It was a method to unstick stuck drive platters, but hasn’t worked since HDD manufacturing processes changed a few years ago. May work for certain drives manufacted pre-Covid, but that’s it:
Been so long I had forgotten the freezer trick lol. Good memories haha.
Take it out of the Sabrent USB and directly connect it to the system, run lsblk to get the drive id and then check smartmontools using smartctl -H /dev/(whatever disk it is)
This will tell you if the drive is hosed or not.
If it is hosed, can always dead drop it from one banana worth of height on a table to see if the drive heads unlock, then try again.
Let the race to the bottom begin!
My family knows me as the anti-apple IT Guy. So, it shocked everyone when I brought home a Best Buy open box Apple TV 4K (saved me $20US).
Honestly, this is my first Apple purchase since my ipod and I have to admit: it’s good.
Roku has lost their way and my 3 Roku Ultra devices are all dying for reasons unknown (freezing, random reboots, spinning endlessly when trying to open an app). I’m just so done with them (and Nvidia) for my streaming hardware business.
lmao. I’ve been around FOSS long enough to remember when GIMP was considered a rip off of Photoshop much in the same light and Blender was a Maya rip off early on.
NP++ for Mac works, I’m running ut and it isn’t plastic fake anymore than GIMP or Blender are. They fucked up in using the name though, it’s not an official release.
CotEditor and BBEdit 15 are probably the best Mac alternatives that will fit most needs.
It’s a real application that looks and works just like NP++, but it isn’t NP++ and never will be as NP++ is heavily written using Win32 and C++.
NP++ would need a complete rewrite to work on anything other than Winblowz, which is what this Mac port is: a rewrite.
I think it’s valid that they have to change the name, but the app itself isn’t fake.
$20 for the bollards, then add $500 an hour for the one union employee and $1,000 per hour for the one union supervisor to watch the one union employee.
Figure this was a 30 minute job that they charged 8 hours for too.
