Re-create/Scan it for VR with movie-grade assets (pared down for the current level tech, we can always scale up later) and be done with it. This would even give people the proper scale of standing in Mission Control. All the wide-angle shots make it seem bigger.
No physical location to maintain, and anyone in the world can 'visit' easily.
Nice. I was really hoping to see Max Headroom pop back up for the modern era. When watching that show I distinctly remember thinking: "Wait a minute, how can corporations be more powerful than the government?". I wish i could go back to that innocence.....
The physical discs the software came on had the full intrinsic value of the software on it and constituted 'ownership' of that copy. The game has changed now that there is no physical component. You are mis-characterizing the situation.
Computing is more than a tool to make money. There are computers in all aspects of our lives. The ability to choose and say no is being removed from all interfaces. Regardless of your personal financial incentive, can you at least agree that manufacturers deciding how loud i can turn up my radio or how long i can listen to it is a very bad thing. We are marching to a future where liability will FORCE manufacturers to do these sort of things. Imagine a future where your music device says this. "I'm sorry, but you have been listening at X db for 30 minutes, i will now reduce volume. You have 30 minutes of music time left before mandatory shutdown to protect hearing."
Samsung already has a nag screen when you go over 50% volume. You can disable it some regions and not others.

At the end of the day, usernames are NOT security devices. It is foolish to allow the machine to lie to the users just for security through obscurity. You solve this issue with 2FA, not lying.
And they are playing right into their enemy's hands. 'They' want us all pegged as individuals, and deny/allow things based on that profile. There will be no more 'public' things, just an endless series or permissions/denials based on the profile accessed through your phone.
They use them all. I get USPS delivered amazon stuff all the time. It sucks because the mailman can jsut put it in my mailbox (live in a condo, mailbox is detached), but everyone else has to deliver to the door.
More importantly, these should be forced into a plain language format, that a average person can understand (that is who is intended for it to be enforced upon). If its too complex, it should be considered a void contract, as you cannot come to a 'meeting of the minds' if you require a lawyer for the simplest of modern interactions. The law is supposed to be accessible to everyone, its time to stop allowing these unconscionable contracts that are being offered.
This is so fucking backwards its not even funny. If you truly dont want logs to be tampered with you store them on write-once media. Shipping logs across the network introduces a whole host of vulnerabilities.The network is NOT the computer.
It was just a simple example. If I owe you $20, and i attempt to settle the debt with cash, you are obligated to take it, or the debt is absolved. You cant play games or make weird demands.IF we went to court they would see i made a good-faith effort to settle the debt with legal tender and you refused it. You would have to explain to the court why you wont accept a legally tendered payment.
"Never understood how apartment and rent can be required to be non-cash payment."
They get around it by making you pay the rent in advance. The 'Legal tender' stipulation only applies to DEBTS. The example i give is this: If you go to a sit down restaurant, and order food and then after the meal is over, you are presented with a bill, they HAVE to accept cash. If they refuse your cash payment, you can consider the debt null and void, as you tendered a legal payment and they refused it. If its a walk-up counter where you order food and pay at the point-of-sale, then they have no obligation to take cash.
If you dont have root on your device, you cannot trust it. Apple devices do not give you root, thus they give you no path to 'Trust, but verify'. All other problems flow from there.
The key term being 'creditor'. This really only applies to debts. A merchant has no obligation to take cash before the fact but he has to take cash if you are in 'debt'. A sit down restaurant that serves you first and then presents a bill HAS to take cash. A walk-up counter style restaurant does not.
Eye tracking is imminent (actually its already here, just not evenly distributed). Also Windows Hello will be able to tell if the user is there or not. Thats its entire purpose, to ensure a human is there, and not automation.
I fucking hate what this site has become. DO you not understand that EME will mean you will be FORCED to watch ads, with absolutely no way to control them? It means text will become uncopyable, it will make pictures not downloadable. Its the end of the free web.
Picard has root access to the *Enterprise* computers. That is the difference. Also, The Federation has strong personal liberty protections that generally dont get violated (Section 31 being an exception)
The entire point is once a service reaches a critical mass of users, the ordinary rules or privacy and ownership come under question due to the public's interest. If you get big enough, we get to dictate your future.
You know what else used to be wholly private? ATT. We decided it was in the best interests of the nation to destroy that privacy and make it fair for all. There is no reason we cant do the same to online discourse. Further, Twitter is only reachable by crossing public right of ways. Being 'private' isnt as set in stone as you think.
Show me apps i can actually trust on the Google Play store. ITs a huge cess pit of predatory apps. WHo are the reputable vendors that make apps with no ads? Hell even fucking Sennheiser put ads in their bluetooth control app. I called them out on it, and they said basically they dont see a problem. EVEN MY BANK APP SHOWS THIRD PARTY ADS. IN the middle of a money transfer the fucking thing asked me to rate the app. ITs not just google, there is no way to get a trusted file manager, or a terminal or any of that stuff from a trusted vendor, THEY ALL SUCK.
Who is making apps that actually respect the user?
ITs so bad, even the Google email app DEMANDS access to pretty much everything, mic, storage, contacts, camera....its become EXACTLY what gmail was supposed to kill, the bloated email client. IT doesnt jsut ask once, it continually asks, I had to dismiss the permission prompt FIVE TIMES to send one text email through the app. It complains, at every stage, even if you are simply sending text. I uninstalled it and use Firefox to access WEBmail now. Bascially we have come to the place where EVERY interface will have ads put into ANYTHING you are looking at. We have lost the UI, forever.
Again, i dont believe in a web where you need a third party to vett you to participate. Its an INCREDIBLY ugly road. I like the HTTPS initiative, but i hate hate hate people pushing 100% HTTPS. We are all trained in absolutes and exceptions here, dont you think 100% HTTPS could have some nasty downsides?

Did you miss this part of my comment?
"We are marching to a future where *liability* will FORCE manufacturers to do these sort of things."
I guess we are already here....

You do understand we often study relics to 'innovate' right? Innovation isnt some straight line, it ebbs and flows.

How do i get my Xubuntu/Intel NUC to stop screen tearing (Intel GPU)? I have updated everything i can think of.

IS that the world you want to live in? Where no one can speak? There is NOTHING wrong with admiring someone else's appearance and telling them that.
