SFO actually shuts down dead as a graveyard every night around 8 o'clock except for a few scattered clubs. It's actually pretty boring that way, I rate SFO nightlife as below average for a major city. Mind you there are a lot of private parties if that floats your boat.
The incentive is that copyright owners want this as a mechanism to control piracy. Make the files so big that it will be cost-prohibitive for anyone but those with the monopolies to serve it up.
But then making an analog copy becomes highly effective.
Not always. I have faith that certain journalists, none of whom work for Fox, will always put their journalistic integrity first. Not blind faith, mind you, but faith. It takes some effort to build that and tends to evaporate instantly if shaken. At least for a person with a functioning brain.
Wow, Russian shitmodders are everywhere.
I hope this thread demonstrates sufficiently to everybody that organized troll attacks on social media exist, even on Slashdot, against professional journalism. Not just here, but in every English language social networking venue where cost free registration is possible. Not easy to pay for registration in rubles, you see.
BluRay just got (relatively speaking) support for 4K -- so who is actually buying these?
Who is buying Blu-ray? I still do, but I genuinely feel like a fossil every time I do. Blu-ray is just plain annoying as a content delivery system, with its crappy menus, unskippable FBI threats, slow loading, obsolete optical format, small capacity and absurdly high price.
Nice for a monitor, if you have an office big enough. For video, I can only barely perceive a difference between HD and 4K as it is. On the other hand, when HD first came out, lots of folks said they couldn't tell the difference from SD, laughable in retrospect.
Since KITKAT Google have used ahead-of-time compilation with ART. The JIT compiler was introduced in Nougat to compliment ART to constantly improve runtime performance something you want on a wearable.
JIT does not do what you think it does. Why would you JIT already-compiled code?
C++ compared to C? A: if I need to explain the difference then you should be reading Wikipedia instead of posting blather to the internet. B: If I don't need to explain then you are a troll.
Why use a heavier widgets from QT

Google are continually updating Wear OS to make it more battery friendly, and lighter on resources...it's part of their business model.
Got rid of the JIT yet? Didn't think so.
Your post is just technobabble.
That's rich coming from the likes of you. I bet you do not even understand why a JIT costs battery life.
sand that is "free" for anyone to just dig up from the ground, like uranium and coal.
You seem to be unclear on the relative abundance of sand vs coal and uranium. Let me help you:
Silicon: 28% Carbon:.02% Uranium: 0.00027%
I see you really want to turn the topic to nuclear. Ok, it's flat on its back and likely to stay there. In future its role may grow slightly as a swing producer for niche markets such as the far north. Dirty, risky and not renewable you see. Nobody needs Russia's uranium and nobody wants their crappy, exploding nuclear plants, not even them. Maybe Russia will be able to get by on Krocadyl exports.
I've seen the math on the silicon, copper, aluminum, iron, and so many other materials that would have to be mined for making the solar panels, the structures to hold them up, and the wires to connect them all.
You're on crack, solar panels are mostly sand. Cost of solar will continue to decrease by 20% for each doubling of capacity. Any upward blip in petroleum price will only accelerate the solar capacity curve. It's ramping up faster than anybody dreamed, especially BP, and especially Putin. Adding to the upcoming misery: Russia supplies nothing to the solar industry. China on the other hand, is doing very well, not to mention already having the world's largest and fastest growing installed capacity.

Apple. Total crap.
FTFY
Nowadays, you don't see much, if any, hype about THD.
The dumbing down of America. Harmonic distortion did not go away. Another word for it is "noise". Right up there with tape hiss.
Tim Cook wants you to come up to his office for a "debriefing"
How stupid do you need to be, to pay good money to Microsoft for something you can get for free?
Audio is practically a scam.
Excuse me, but my ears tell me that high quality audio is not a scam. Any possibility you had your ear buds too loud for too many years?

Just getting my prediction in.
"Faith" is the wrong word...

Ahem, do you have similar disregard for the quality of your audio equipment? To each their own I suppose.
Kate actually, and Konsole. (The latter heartily recommended and the former survivable.)
So download to disk.

These "8K" TVs probably don't have any sort of interface to get "8K" content on them, much like early "4K" TVs.
Just make sure it's got Displayport.
Maybe it's a new way to need a bigger GPU?

you are wrong.
Wow, cogent argument.
Nuclear is renewable by any honest definition you can come up with to define a renewable energy source.
You created your own private definition of renewable. What use is that?

You seem to be unclear on the amount of energy we are able to extract from coal and uranium compared to sand.
The energy comes from the sun, not the sand. Idiot.
that will need a new package manager.. and new frameworks
Compiles standard binaries, therefore uses standard packaging (apt, rpm). Natively links to C libraries. So, no on both counts.

Both solar and coal are "free", yet both need collecting.
Only one of those is renewable, that is, infinitely available. Never mind clean, that's another issue.
Hey, give me a break, coal is so over. Everybody knows that. You aren't a trumpist by any chance, are you?
