  1. Re:As opposed to Redbox analog? on Redbox Plans To Launch New Streaming Service 'Redbox Digital' (consumerreports.org) · · Score: 1

    Given the cost of a monthly subscription to Netflix, asking more money for a streamed movie vs a rented DVD would be insane and yet from the article it seems that's what Redbox plans on doing. Shouldn't streaming cost less than a DVD rental?

    If they were able to rent discs for $1.50/$2.00, streaming shouldn't cost more than $0.99/$1.49.

    Anyway, I don't care since Redbox doesn't exist in Canada anymore and I'm guessing their streaming service will be U.S.A.-only.

    No the house is not completely made of logs. There's windows, hinges, metal wood stove, etc.

    Any my initial reply was to your "Since obviously we live in the post-game-changed society now, with 3D printed houses everywhere and people downloading cars all the time, surely we are 3D printing drones at home too?"

    And yes, people are 3D printing drones. I never implied that all parts were 3D printed and your question didn't either.

    As for 3D-printed houses, there's something called Google. You should try it sometimes.

    There is 3D-printed houses. And no, not everything in the house is 3D-printed. Just like when someone says he has a log house cabin, not everything is made of freakin' logs.

    3D printers are not Star Trek replicators. Desktop 3D printers can replace some milled/injected plastic parts. They can also produce parts that are nearly impossible to make with traditional methods.

  15. Re:I wish Netflix will throttle my traffic on Netflix Admits To Capping Video Streams On Wireless Networks (variety.com) · · Score: 1

    In Canada, because our ISPs are still giving us monthly data caps from two decades ago, we have three quality options:
    Low - Basic video quality, up to 0.3 GB per hour
    Medium - Standard video quality, up to 0.7 GB per hour
    High - Best video quality, up to 3 GB per hour for HD, 7 GB per hour for Ultra HD

    I'm not counting "auto" since it simply switches between the three qualities as needed.
