Which still means that even if a manufacturer intends to comply, they'd have to immediately suspend all sales until the software patch is released.

How does random noise violate those requirements? If you're charging enough for the device, you can protect the output stream and still get it certified.
Switching from MPEG-2 to H.264 really is about a 50% savings. If your video looks bad at 18Mbps MPEG-2, you need better hardware. It won't look great, it's almost as much as the ATSC standard. It's not as bad as satellite TV that allocates less than 5Mbps H.264 to HD channels.
None of it's anything compared to the 20Mbps+ H.264 used on Blu-Ray.
You addressed the "no longer works" in your original post. They unhide it. I just replied without realizing you specifically mentioned it. So it's really no permanent fix. Especially if you want to hide/block all of the evil that is Windows 10:

But Windows 8.1 comes between Windows 8 and Windows 10. On the other hand Windows 8.1 Update came between those. They're trying to confuse even/odd to the ends of the earth.
There's nothing wrong with Windows 10 at all other than the forced update. And that alone is what's going to keep IT/intelligent people recommending against it. It's approach to a start menu is much better for desktop than what 8 or 8.1 had, but you can still switch to tablet mode if you like it.
OK - it also still has a split legacy/modern control panel that I thought they'd have solved by now.
If you don't have CableCARD, MythTV can be configured to be simple enough for wife approval. We use a Roku for Netflix and it's so much better than a browser interface. And even though the new ones come with bluetooth remotes, it accepts infrared if you have a universal you can program.
Right now, our MythTV is set up with an antenna and an HDHomerun box. All of our DVD and Blu-Ray rips are accessible with artwork/metadata. It's easy to set up a recording schedule from either a program guide or from a list of show names. And I have ours set up with games (that we own) from Atari to NES thru PS1 and DOS/Windows, all launched and exited from a universal remote on a cohesive menu system.
I'll admit I have put a lot of time into setup, but I really like the end result. And not having Netflix on the same device is a complete non-issue.
Restoration work is enough to reset the clock. And this is good for us. It will give publishers incentive to restore out of copyright work that's been abandoned by its original owner. If restoration work is effectively free because anyone can copy it, then no one will spend the money. Which is of course very similar to the reason we have copyright in the first place.
I get the impression that is something from the days of flip phones with tiny screens and having to type with a number keypad.
In fact, before twitter was an "app" or much of a web site, it was a group SMS service. Send a text to 40404 and all of your "followers" get a text with the content. Later they added aliases (usernames), which allowed @ replies to send a message to a specific person.
It wasn't until late 2006 that you could sign up without a cell phone number involved
There's almost no reason to use a high quality stream on a device with a 4 inch screen
If you're looking at a 300+ppi screen (nearly 720p) from only a few inches away, I'd say there's still some good reason. 1Mbps is still on the higher end of quality with H.264, though.
Buffering is here to stay. Always has been. The length of time it takes to buffer is what's diminished greatly. What used to be 15-30 seconds of buffering and pauses in the middle on under-runs is now 2-3 seconds of buffering and adaptive streaming to prevent under-runs. But there's still buffering going on. A real-time bit stream would have terrible jitter and dropouts - even on a 300Mbps connection.
Let's keep AC as clean as possible, please. 60Hz hum is well understood and mitigated, but anyone with speakers plugged into the wall of any kind appreciate not having sounds or harmonics induced into the speakers from AC line noise.
But if the kid didn't know they were making a purchase, this *might* make a difference (because password = purchase). Especially if password protection for free downloads is turned off.
You're missing what their definition of "accepted" is. And it is entirely based around whether the content retrieval is successful. Otherwise, you really have almost no use for 4xx at all.

I'm pretty sure that no longer works. MS is even reverting manual registry edits intended to block GWX.

Not to get circular here, but PETA meat comes from vegans
Forget plants. It's not a good pita without pita meat.
How large of a manor is proportionately necessary? And for how long do they have access?
Can't you use Windows 7 drivers on Windows 10? If not, that sounds more like HP creating a bad driver.
That EULA wasn't just for the software - it was for the hardware too. You think you own the hardware?
Did I say I couldn't read it? No, I didn't. I just said it was unnecessarily long. I'm not sure where you got the rest of those assumptions.
It was really badly cast and never made it past a pilot.

Though NBC is trying it again. Don't know if they've filmed a new pilot yet.

No, forums can have threads. This is not organized.

I'd rather keep my rollover characters, especially if they don't expire.

With over 1MB of download, that's either a panoramic vista of porn or a waste of bandwidth that could have been a JPEG.

14 pages aren't exactly reasonable either. I went through less paperwork on a car loan, including the legal agreement.
