  • Are there countries/territories where copyright law is truly unenforced?

  • Wherever this mythical place is that allows you do do anything with copyrighted material, I guarantee all it would take is paying off the right government official(s) to have it shutdown, no laws needed!

  • Valheim player keeps building Dollar Generals despite friend begging them to stop: 'I do not want to play Valheim with Greg anymore'

  • Well, Greg did build a Waffle House too

  • The AI explosion isn't just hurting the prices of computers and consoles – it's coming for TVs and audio tech too

  • I'm not sure. Current "dumb" TVs do actually exist, just search for commercial TVs. All the major brands make them for commercial applications where the end user has no need for traditional smart apps. Sadly, they cost a bit more (but not by a ridiculous amount) and may not have the latest alphabet soup image tech, but they look fine and work great. They still run an OS, but it's stripped down to the bare essentials, usually just settings and input, not usually any apps. If any apps are installed, they're unobtrusive and geared toward their intended purpose. I've been tempted to buy one, but the larger the TV the wider the price gap. The sweet spot seems to be at 65".

  • Idk, even the oldest HDTVs used RAM, sadly.

  • I fixed it :)

  • Sorry, that was the only place I knew it existed at the time. The YT algorithm suggested it to me. I did remove the stupid tracking ID from it though.

    Would it be bad taste to swap out the link with the one on ccc.de?

  • RAM prices soar, but popular Windows 11 apps are using more RAM due to Electron, Web components

    Jump

  • I'm tired of this! How can we start our own RAM foundry--is that the right term? Surely there's a YT tutorial somewhere.

  • What risk might I have accidentally exposed my computer to by viewing a pirated streaming site without AV blocking?

    Jump

  • What technology does this site use to stream the video? Bittorrent?

  • Epic CEO wants Valve and Steam to stop requiring devs to disclose generative AI usage

  • Someone's back ought to be lashed over this

    And also I hate horses

    Jump

  • Due to a scheduling issue, I had to take equine science in high school. I learned about how fragile horses are when it comes to colic. I wouldn't say that I hate horses, only that I'd hate to own one. They've gone from a necessity to a very large, expensive pet in the past 100 years.

  • Plex is now enforcing remote play restrictions on TVs

  • Bye, bye Plex!

    What a shocking chapter of "Plex and the Quest for Investiblity!"

  • TIL there was a TV tuner attachment for the Game Gear!

  • I got one for xmas one year, probably it's last year when Sega was clearing inventory, because I didn't ask for it. All I ever had was the pack-in Sonic title. I wish I kept it so that I could modernize it, but who would have seen that coming? I remember playing it and then seeing the battery light flash and I was like, "I wonder what that means, that can't mean a low battery since I've not been playing it all that long!" Yep, it was a low battery :(

    It probably wouldn't have been a big deal IF Sega bundled a damn AC adapter with it instead of charging separately for it. It was hard to convince my parents to get me video game stuff as a kid.

  • Yes! I remember wanting one and envying the kid on the bus with his!

  • That's awesome, sounds like we made identical configurations! For the original roller, I ended up having to widen the part with the spoke 1mm so that my bearings would roll, but it seemed like such a waste to use 4 per box. It wasn't until a few weeks later I came across cmyk's solution. I really like it except it is a bit difficult to get a nut to interface with a screw. I think I have the knack down now. Really, I could almost see not using a screw and nut with it since it fits together so tightly, but if I didn't do it, it would probably come apart at the worst time during a print.
