Wooo weee! tesh.itjust.works happened!! This is quite exciting.
Thanks for the update, all your efforts, and thanks to all the mods. They do great work here, folks. Happy to chip in and cover some costs.

To head off some heat I expect you’ll get, I think it’s worth mentioning this community proposed is focused on real cryptography mathematics and techniques - not cryptocurrency.
It’s unfortunate ‘crypto’ has been completely hijacked.
- Comment on After 18 years, Blu-ray media production draws to a close — Sony shuts its last factory in Feb 6 days ago:
Netflix 4K has a bitrate topping out around 16 Mbps (and often lower), Blu-ray 4K is something like 140 Mbps. Streaming services compress the hell out of video to save bandwidth.

“Best we can do is an overpackaged, encrypted, read-only 32gb microSD for $49.99. It requires a dedicated proprietary media player and if you’re lucky, it won’t fail in a year.”
“Why won’t anyone buy our movies :(”
- Comment on After 18 years, Blu-ray media production draws to a close — Sony shuts its last factory in Feb 1 week ago:
Yes and yes, but looking at BR releases, they seem to drop off hard around the month of May.
This lines up pretty close to 3 months after close, I think that could be a lead time if production ends next month. They are probably printing April releases right now.
- Comment on After 18 years, Blu-ray media production draws to a close — Sony shuts its last factory in Feb 1 week ago:
Article says it started as removing BD-R but they’d keep operating for corporate customers (studios) but that appears to have collapsed quickly. I’m interpreting it as the end of Blu-ray production entirely.

Little robot crossed against the signal, and couldn’t navigate the curb, big robot didn’t yield to the pedestrian walk way. What a shit show. Glad it wasn’t someone in a wheel chair.
- Comment on Why is it that clasped hands tends to be the norm for praying? 🙏 4 weeks ago:
If you say a prayer without joining your hands, does it not reach god?
Lol, yes the hands act as a transmitter antenna to send the message. Without it you’ll get bad reception.

There’s pictures of the bed, I spy fireworks and race fuel.
- Comment on 38% Gen Z adults suffering from 'midlife crisis', stuck in 'vicious cycle' of financial, job stress 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, basically right. I had a joke written that I’m calling dibs on publishing this survey for the next generation, but the thought depressed me out of posting it.
- Comment on 38% Gen Z adults suffering from 'midlife crisis', stuck in 'vicious cycle' of financial, job stress 4 weeks ago:
As a midlife millennial experiencing financial instability, mental health struggles and career uncertainty - can relate and don’t blame these kids in the slightest.
Wish I could say things get better, but I lack supporting evidence. Experience what happiness you can with what you have.

I’ll call my parents, that’s about it. Network for me has been good for the last few years.
- Comment on PS1 Games Now Playable on GameCube 4 weeks ago:
I’m curious what the games look like, does it retain the PS1 “wobble” or would it look more clean with the GameCube rendering?
- Comment on Max is testing always-on HBO channels 1 month ago:
I use Prime’s live channels when I’m not invested in finding something to watch, but want some background noise. Before YouTube ads got crazy, I’d just let it autoplay for same effect. I’ll appreciate having HBO’s content in similar rotation, assuming it’s included at current cost.

Spending all that money to end up gaming on a membrane keyboard and OEM tier mouse.

- Comment on Steam games will now need to fully disclose kernel-level anti-cheat on store pages 2 months ago:
I’d really like Valve to take an official policy on post-release changes that break games, but for what it’s worth they have not given me any hassle with refunds in these scenarios.

A human would likely ask the professor who is Frankie Hawkes… later in the post they reveal F. Hawkes is a dog.
- Comment on Why do cell phones have a data limit but home internet doesn't? 3 months ago:
My previous home line had a hard cap at 1TB per month. That seemed like a lot at the time, but I think as the internet grows and requires more bandwidth these “sky high” caps will feel smaller and smaller.
- Comment on Why do cell phones have a data limit but home internet doesn't? 3 months ago:
50GB a month though?? You don’t use any video streaming services at all?
- Comment on REPORT: Arm is sensationally canceling the license that allowed Qualcomm to make Snapdragon chips which power everything from Microsoft's Copilot+ PCs to Samsung's Galaxy smartphones and tablets 3 months ago:
Nailed it. They know they have a leading chip in these designs now, the market is expanding, and whatever licensing fee was negotiated in the past needs to be revisited.
- Comment on Third-party tool "Rebound 11" aims to improve the Windows 11 UI, while keeping system files intact 3 months ago:
The tool is foss, the purpose for its existence is not. What I really mean is volunteer devs spending time subsidizing a three trillion dollar business with free labor isn’t ideal. There’s many other projects where time would be better spent, ones that benefit everyone now and in the future.
This isn’t strictly directed to devs of this tool, every week there’s a new "fix11, “new11”, “11 decrapifier” tool released and everyone nods along like this is okay.

The world if millions of open source developers contributed to foss projects instead of “fixing windows”
- Comment on Ubisoft Director Claims "Non-Decent Humans" Are Wishing For Company's Demise 3 months ago:
I wouldn’t say I’m wishing for Ubisoft to collapse, more that I’ve decided to not give them any money for reskinning the same design repeatedly, and think more people should do the same…

You’re absolutely not alone. Someone just pointed at me from the depths of a pool. Actual creeps down my back, something I haven’t felt since silent hill 2

That sounds like a pretty nice PC to me. Probably not going to play everything on ultra, but neither do consoles.

Sweet, just in time for the pro. Fingers crossed the next revision doesn’t play games at all, just $1000 to pipe Morbius trailers to my TV. It’s all I ever wanted.
