Chrome considers the loopback interface secure. If you can't use localhost because you're testing a web application on a mobile browser, you can run a private CA with OpenSSL and install its root certificate on your testing devices.
And yeah I know you can use Let's Encrypt... if you're happy to put up with ludicrously short certificate expiration times, or install their software on your server and configure it to work with whatever you're serving your certs with
You don't have to install Certbot (the canonical client recommended by LE) to get a certificate for a host in a domain that you own. Certbot is only one of many ACME clients that LE supports. Some of these clients support a DNS challenge, in which the CA asks you to put a TXT record on your domain's DNS server instead of a file on your host's server. To use the DNS challenge, you just need the ability to update the zone file. Besides, a growing number of VPS administration packages support ACME; in fact, cPanel 58 added it a couple weeks ago:
Devices makers should arrange (and may need to pay) for their devices to obtain an Internet FQDN and self-issue a certificate from a CA.
Paying works so long as the device is actually hardware, as the price of a certificate can be built into the price of hardware. It wouldn't work so well if the "device" is a general-purpose computer, such as a PC, an Android device, or a Raspberry Pi board, running a particular application that is free software or otherwise distributed without charge.
in exchange for, let's say $5000 plus $1000 per year for at least the three year intended lifespan of the product.
Which would leave Slashdot's comment section even more up in arms about "planned obsolescence" once the three years run out.
What the fuck does that mean "Advertiser Friendly"? HBO is full of tits, ass, swearing and killing.
And no ads other than for other HBO shows. That's why it's so expensive. It's also why Time Warner has in the past tied the ability to subscribe to HBO to also having a subscription to the co-owned Turner channels (TBS, TNT, CNN, HLN, Cartoon Network) and in some countries still does.
So is AMC, so is CNN.
AMC maybe, but CNN at least tries to bleep profanity and pixelate the most graphic parts of "tits, ass, [...] and killing."
There are really no other free video hosting sites.
If the uploader is one of the video's authors, and the video clearly isn't promoting something for sale, Vimeo is an option, though where allowed "showcas[ing] your creative work" ends and prohibited "commercial content" begins can be tricky to find. And is Dailymotion still around?
Finally, if you're willing to step up from free to cheap (assuming low traffic), you could just make an Amazon S3 bucket and toss a WebM file up there. The current price for U.S. buckets is $0.09 per GB of data transfer and $0.03 per month of storage. So if you encode a 12 minute video at 1 Mbps (typical SD bitrate), it'll be 90 MB. Keeping it in S3 for a year costs $0.03/(GB mo) * 0.09 GB * 12 mo = 3 cents, and a thousand views cost $0.09/GB * 0.09 GB/view * 1000 views = $8.10. It might pose a problem if it goes viral though.
Why can't public Wi-Fi use something like RADIUS, or at least a pre-shared key changed daily and posted on all cash registers, instead of a captive portal?
And thus people will start seeing the "dubious" mark in the UI when accessing the web-based administration interface of a home router, a home NAS, or a home network printer, which lacks HTTPS because it lacks a certificate, in turn because it lacks a globally unique fully qualified domain name.
Or should a device maker instead deploy the same wildcard certificate with the same private key on all of a given make and model?
Does this mean Google will make Android incompatible with VPNs? It'd have to, because rootless tracking blockers appear to the operating system as VPN clients.
The only thing dumber than artists using proprietary platforms that barely pay them anything is artists complaining that the proprietary platforms are greedy.
So which platforms are non-proprietary or do pay artists more than "barely [] anything"?
There is no way a modern ARM SoC will cost less than an 8-bit NES SoC to make.
Unlike an accurate NOAC, an ARM SoC is available commercially off the shelf. Are you including non-recurring engineering costs in your estimate or excluding them?
But all we can do is speculate. No authoritative reply is possible because everyone who knows about its internals is under NDA, and Slashdot will close this comment section before NES Classic Edition is available to the public. (Slashdot has a policy of closing all comment sections 14 days after they open.)
The licensor has a choice: make $1/$2 per game or make nothing at all. How is that difficult to understand?
A licensor might rationally choose zero in order not to devalue its copyright and/or trademark. If a licensor chooses $1 or $2 now, it can't choose $3 or $5 down the line when subsequent would-be licensees complain about not being given a comparable deal.
And no matter which way you hold it, it's still not a NES controller.
Neither is the controller included with NES Classic Edition. It's a Wii Classic Controller shaped like an NES controller.
Because it would be much more expensive to use hardware that is capable of emulating a NES through software than it would be to use a NES on a chip or FPGA.
Nintendo can probably buy a common ARM SoC including the HDMI driver for cheaper than it'd take to engineer and manufacture an accurate NOAC with all the relevant mappers included. Existing NOACs tend to have problems, such as inverted duty cycles, audio distortion, and no digital output.
They have a choice. Make $1/$2 per copy or make $0 per copy. It's not hard to see which of those makes more sense.
Consider the NES games Bart vs. the World and Lethal Weapon. If the upstream licensor of the movie or TV series on which a game was based wants $3 per copy, then for every $1/$2 copy the game publisher sells, it has to pay $3 to the movie or TV studio, resulting in a loss of $2/$1 per copy. In this case, earning $0 by not licensing at all would at least stop loss.
Notice how the controller bundled with the NES classic isn't the controller bundled with the Wii?
The controller bundled with the Wii was the Wii Remote and Nunchuk. All NES Virtual Console games work with the Wii Remote held sideways.
If you sold exclusive rights, you already paid a lot of opportunity cost. When Spotify ignores you, you asked them to.
The problem is that if you sell exclusive rights to some of your works but make the rest available to Spotify, Spotify will demote even the ones you told it to make available.
An app on Google Play Store will be excluded from search results unless it's available both A. in your country and B. on your device. When I view the document at that URL while logged into a Google account to which a Galaxy Tab A 8.0" (2016) and a Nexus 7 (2012) are registered, I see the following:
This app is incompatible with all of your devices.
[Incompatible] No carrier Samsung SM-T350 [Incompatible] No carrier Asus Nexus 7
I expected the document to include a list of suggested devices to purchase on which to run this app, but it did not.
If "content creators" sounds too much like "happy gods", a better term might be "authors and publishers". A songwriter is an "author" as defined in the copyright statute, as is a recording artist or film director.

I tried "Erin Pizzey" on Wikipedia, and though it does mention "harassment, death threats, bomb threats and defamation campaigns", it says nothing about a drive-by shooting in particular.

Nor do the snippets in the first ten results for Google erin pizzey drive-by shooting appear relevant. What am I missing?
Oh, BTW, you may be running Linux or BSD yourself and not even know it -- Android is Linux and Apple is BSD.
And it'd be technically correct* to state that TiVo DVRs run Linux.
But what people mean when they refer to running Linux or BSD on a desktop PC are X11/Linux and X11/FreeBSD. Unlike the majority of window managers for the X Window System, Android prior to Nougat doesn't even have multiple windows on screen as a standard feature, which makes it not ideal for writing one document while referring to another.
And nothing in a library is going to tell me the odds of that
I think the "library" part comes in when you cancel home Internet and TV for a year, use the Internet at the library in the meantime, and put the money you save toward the two 'crippling sums'.
Some of it is that some people's incomes aren't in fact above the poverty line. There are reports of hardship for residents of U.S. states that successfully sued to opt out of Obamacaid. They don't qualify for a Marketplace subsidy because they don't make more than the poverty level, and they don't qualify for original Medicaid.
And some of it is that the federal poverty level is uniform throughout the lower 48 states, even though some areas have a far higher apartment rent level than others.
Citation please! I have never seen a case where the bottom tier internet only subscription is priced above that plus bottom tier TV bundle.
I've been collecting anecdotal reports from other Slashdot users about cable companies charging less for a bundle of Internet and limited basic TV than for Internet alone:
$50+ monthly so you can facebook in your underwear on the sofa probably isn't an appropriate allocation for you.
