    This is what I come to slashdot for. The intelligent and well articulated discussions about news for Nerds and Stuff that Matters.

  3. I just want to make and take calls over the watch without having to pull my phone out. Just let me answer and talk over it. The other stuff maybe someone else wants but I can't think why.

    What that got to do with anything? If you took the time to read through my posts you'd see where I said I bought a box to run H.265 content on that I had downloaded. I don't use it to pirate software as I only download certain things I want to see and I get those through piratebay or idope. A lot of that stuff is H.265 and it wouldn't run on the Raspberry Pi 3 I had Kodi running on. So you see, you've jumped to a wrong conclusion there Sherlock. DirecTV has a great picture but not everything is on there and I'm sure not into buying all the extra premium shit.

  5. If you look around they've got some that do 4K video and H.265 video in a little android box that costs 30 dollars or so. It's crazy. I bought one that I use for my own downloaded H.265 files that wouldn't play on my Raspberry Pi. I just use Kodi and stream the files over my network so I haven't fooled with the addons.

  6. Oh damn! I can see that happening.

    Trump has driven everyone crazy. He's got a bigger reality distortion field than Steve Jobs.

  8. They're wasting their time going after these little fish. Stamping out the addon's content providers would be far more effective.

  9. Kodi isn't the problem. It's the addons. There is a list of addons that is banned on Kodi's website. These addons provide access to prohibited content. Things like movies and tv shows and sports events that are pirated. Many ppl utilize these preloaded boxes to replace cable since it's all free. Kodi has nothing to do with any of this other than the addons utilize Kodi. It's simple enough.

    I'm not talking about users. I speak of sellers. They are everywhere you look.

    Cable companies are pretty lenient on pirates. My neighbor tapped into my cable, I found out when I bought an HDTV in 2010. When I got the new TV it had a lot of problems with tiling. I called the cable company and when they went to replace the outside cable they found it. They told him they removed it and that if he hooked back in they'd press charges. The cable dude said they never charged anyone unless they were a repeat offender. It was all a waste of time as no matter what they tried the picture was always shit. I finally got DirecTV and it's been great ever since. On analog I couldn't tell any difference.

    Have they looked on ebay? craigslist? everywhere? 5 arrests is less than spit in the ocean. Those boxes are too easy to make or buy. A good android box loaded with all the "bad" addons can be had for 30 bucks. I got one that does 4K and h265 video for the same price as a raspberry pi 3.

  12. The original PC processor could only address 1MB of Ram. The first 640K was reserved for applications and the rest used by the system. MS-DOS was designed for this and when the 286 which could address 16MB came available they had to work around the limitations of MS-DOS. I never dealt with it as I went from the C64 to Amiga systems which ran off Motorola processors which were vastly different. My first PC was a dual PII 333 server that I installed SUSE linux on in 1999. Once I got used to using Linux I never looked back.

  13. Maybe Apple, Google, Amazon and Disney could all team up and absorb it.

  14. I thought that was Intel's thing?

    Trump getting elected was one shot in that war. Trump happened as an answer to Obama and his prophet Hilliary. Just as Obama happened as an answer to the disaster that was Bush Jr. The bad thing is Trump is making the same mistakes as Obama did his first 2 years and then we'll have to deal with backlash from that which will cause things to spin out of control as we go from one crazy extreme to the other.

    Solar is the future of energy, and in the future it will still be the future of energy. I've been hearing about how solar will obsolete all fossil fuels for almost 50 years now. I believe it will, one day. I don't see that being in the next 2 or 3 decades. Having said that, I'm all for continuing to work at it. It's being installed all around and will continue to grow. The future will come one day.

    I imagine there will be cases that have everything you need built in. A shell of functionality around the phone. What a shame they do this crap. I'm typing this on a Macbook Pro where the 2 (two) USB ports are so close that I often can only plug in one device unless I use a USB hub. I don't see me buying anything else from Apple.

  20. Well supposedly they're taking an inhibitor because they have too much acid. Thus they attempt to reduce it to the proper amount. People who are well don't need to take it at all. For the occasional indigestion some Tums or some such anti acid remedy would seem like a better solution.

    I've never had a problem in any pirated game with DRM. In fact that's often why I downloaded pirated versions of games I had bought. It got to the point where I bought the games to get the printed manuals, the other shit wasn't worth fuckall.
