Didn't even get rid of the digital hole. The moment the master HDCP 1.x key was reverse engineered and leaked out it was game over. You can go on eBay and buy a cheap standalone box that will record a HDCP encrypted stream to an H264 encoded MP4. Sure some loss of quality but way better than an analogue hole.
Assuming the big bang produced gravitational waves which is not a given as its the two massive black holes rotating around each other that creates the waves, then the simple answer is they have gone. They are no longer around to detect.
It's like being near where a large stone was thrown in the pond last year and saying why can't I detect the ripples from the splash when I can detect the ripples from that pebble you throw in over there a few seconds ago.
Personally speaking Plex's propensity to transcode everything in sight is it's major flaw. All my video media is nicely preencoded in H264 format and does need transcoding, but Plex will on occasion decided it does.
Full set of SLS Linux floppies was 40. Everyone pretty much hated floppies, but at the time they where the best that there was. By the time Apple ditched floppies they where barely used anyway.
I would add that even USB keys are biting the dust these days. Remember "the computer is the network" as my mouse mat proudly proclaims.
There have been 3.5mm jacks sockets in waterproof phones for over two years now. Heck the Sony Z5 has a waterproof microUSB socket as well and it's only 7.3mm thick.
There is an easy win on that. Want to dock your ship in the E.U. guess what your ship will have to comply with all E.U. regulations at all times of any journey bringing goods into the E.U.
At that point registering your ship in Panama where there are little to no regulations is a pointless exercise because you won't be able to dock your ship and offload your goods.
In fact I would go one further and make it a requirement for any ship transiting the territorial waters of a member state of the E.U. has to comply with all E.U. shipping regulations.
Hold your horses there. The device cannot violate the second law of thermodynamics because for starters no magnetron is 100% efficient. So first step converting electrical energy into microwaves is less than 100% efficient. To claim otherwise is regrettably unfortunate from someone teaching at a leading US university..
In addition as far as I am aware the conversion of microwaves into movement is also substantially less than 100% efficient. That is if I have 100J of energy in microwaves (which remember I can't get from 100J of electricity) and use it to lift 1kg it should in a vacuum rise U=mgh, or roughly 10m on earth. Now last time I looked the EM drive was not remotely that good.
Also if we are collecting photons from the sun converting them to electricity and then converting the electricity to motion, to claim the device in space is an isolated system is another massive fail. The isolated system would have to include the sun for starters...
Clearly the second law of thermodynamics is alive and kicking with an EM drive.
What is sad is someone teaching physics at a leading US university making basic high school physics errors in their claims. How am I supposed to take your arguments seriously in light of such basic errors?
Now like you I am highly sceptical of the EM drive. However unlike various cold fusion devices and the like there are two fundamental differences. Firstly there is nothing secret in the EM drive. Anyone can go an make one if they want. Secondly and highly importantly so far all experimental analysis of the device by multiple independent labs indicates it does indeed produce thrust. So while I remain highly sceptical until proved otherwise I have to give it the benefit of the doubt unlike Mr. Rossi's E-Cat which is nothing more than a scam from a fraudster.
Remember Fleischmannâ"Pons cold fusion claims? Well by the equivalent time from the claim now there where numerous labs reporting being unable to repeat the results. The same has not happened to the EM drive, in fact the total opposite.
Remember boys and girls verified observations whether experimental or natural always and I mean *ALWAYS* trump all theories no matter how sacred the theory is.
Right now however the observations for the EM drive could be experimental error so I remain sceptical but equally I am unwilling to dismiss it out of hand either and feel more investigation is clearly justified.
You don't even need to mess about with component signals. Thing is all 1.x versions of HDCP are a complete busted flush since the release of the master key six years ago.
Go onto eBay search for "hdmi capture" and someone will happily sell you a stand alone device to record even an HDCP protected 1080p HDMI stream to a USB drive plugged into the device as an H264 stream.
DRM on 1080p content is as useful as CSS is on a DVD, that is a total waste of time.
A fresh cup of tea with milk that is perfectly drinkable will be over 80 Celsius. By the time it is down to 65 it would be in my view tepid and need drinking very quickly before it becomes vile.
Which puzzles me, because other than running it without a license I am not sure how having the source code to GPFS particularly helps given that end users are unlikely to have the specialist in depth knowledge of how the GPFS code works.
Even then the licensing for GPFS is completely open in it's enforcement, you just declare a node as sever or client, no actual checking going on. So buy a single server license and a handful of client nodes and you are good to go.
I guess one could read the code to determine exactly what some of GPFS's undocumented switches actually do. So exactly what are samba ACL's? Precisely what does cifsBypassShareLocksOnRename do? However it would not be hard to work out with a bit of testing.
Disclosure I have expert to guru GPFS administration expertise.
Really I would have thought that an electric motor would leave a diesel engine for dead. Actually I don't think I know that electric motors leave any internal combustion engine for dead when it comes to torque, especially at low RPM where you need it more. Show me the diesel engine providing *FULL* torque at 0 RPM. There is a reason that almost all train's now have electric motors for the traction engine.
I would be surprise if Sodium Hydroxide got you on a watch list anywhere. In the UK you can buy it in granular form at the large DIY chain stores (hardware store if you are state side), for example
Quick check shows all the local stores have it in stock. Spending a day driving around I could accumulated in excess of 20kg of the stuff in a day using cash if I wanted.
I have drunk the streaming Kool-Aid as has the rest of my family. Actually handling physical discs is rubbish, especially with young children.
However it's our "own" streaming Kool-Aid and as such we need physical CD's, DVD's and BluRay's to rip from. A good VDSL2 internet connection with lots of upload means we all share the same server despite being located all over the UK.
The EU has widely differing gun laws. That is gun law in Belgium is not the same as Germany or the United Kingdom. It's been over 20 years since the last mass shooting in the United Kingdom and gun laws/control are sufficiently tighter now that the same thing is very unlikely to happen again.
Nope there just has to be offer,consideration and acceptance for a contract to be valid. Microsoft offered the product for $0.00, you put made the purchase and it had value to you so consideration is there, and Microsoft accepted by allowing you to download. We have a legally binding contract folks.
Now usually consideration is considered to be exchange of money, but actually it just needs to be something of "value" to you which is far more nebulous.
However in this case the the cost of downloading it because even if you have unlimited internet connection it still costs in electricity to keep your computer running while the download occurs is more than enough for consideration and Microsoft have broken the contract. At least that's the common law approach to contracts.
In addition there are a lot legal jurisdictions where there is specific consumer law that makes it illegal for Microsoft to reverse the sale.
One strongly suspects in the coming days Microsoft will be backing down on this one after legal inform them that a shit storm is coming their way. I a lot of jurisdictions it is a small claim and a few thousands of those will be an expensive nightmare for Microsoft. Certainly more expensive than swallowing the cost.
You can be your bottom dollar that whoever announced that they will be revoking the sales never bothered to consult legal, which is generally par for the course in these things.
They did lie, they had a shot of a Tesla Roadster being pushed while claiming it had run out of charge. The actual logs from the cars showed that none of the Roadsters made available to Top Gear on that day ever ran completely flat. They got away with it because they are not a documentary or new program and thus have no requirement to be factual.
In the long run it hurt the program as even getting "ordinary" cars for the fastest lap became problematic as manufacturers became hesitant about the "truthfulness" of the program.
That's because in the UK you can only sue for actual losses in copyright infringement providing that the person doing the infringement was not doing it for commercial gain.
Hence the most you can sue for is the cost of the CD/DVD/BlueRay disc(s) which makes it not worth the effort.
That all depends on the size of your feet. Plenty of people especially women with small and narrow feet can get their foot between the peddles with ease on lots of models. Just because you have feet the size of Micheal Phelps don't assume everyone else does too.
On the other hand waterproof and dust proof to IP68 3.5mm jack sockets have existed for quite some time, and can be fitted in phones as slim as 7.3mm. See the Sony Xperia Z5 for an example.
Heck the Z5 has a a IP68 microUSB socket, so the reliable angle is codswallop.
Screw USB connections, of microSD/SD cards. Who the hell wants to be fiddling around changing cards, plugging laptops etc. into a picture frame?
Personally I would like it to get the photos from a server wirelessly. I would advocate Bluetooth for the lower power requirements, but I guess WiFi would be more practical. So it wakes up every day, checks the folder on the server downloads the next picture, changes the display and then goes back to sleep.
Oh an before you ask I would prefer it that the server was local in my house, so the thing never needs to go out on the internet.
As such it only needs internal storage for a handful of pictures, a couple of GB is more than enough.

And what the fuck has that got to do with the E.U.? That's right fuck all.

Wrong by all accounts the NVIDIA shield can transcode on the fly

Very true the UK in particular is owed hundreds of billions of dollars in compensation for stolen IP in the 19th century from the USA.
Couple of years! More like a decade at minimum if you ask me.

My ZX81 and ZX Spectrum beg to differ on that front.I guess the Commodore 64 did sell more, but where in the UK at least considerably more expensive.
