I’m sure it won’t have any of the defects of the cyberdumpster.

WINNING! /s
- Comment on Ordered back to the office, top tech talent left instead, study finds 5 months ago:
You give your top talent what they want. The problem is that they hired a consultant to find out what was. The consultant, knowing on which side his bread was buttered, told the board what they wanted to hear, which is, after all, why they hired a consultant instead of just asking.
- Comment on If presidential immunity is absolute.. 6 months ago:
But if he ordered a member of the military to do it, they are required to refuse illegal orders
But the argument is that if the President orders it, it’s not illegal. Nixon tried that and got shot down.
- Comment on Replacing CD Collection 7 months ago:
You could run Kodi, Emby, or Plex and get local access through DLNA access.
I have a QNAP RAID set up that Emby catalogs and handles access for. An Emby app on my LG TV, and a Roku on other TVs. Some RAID systems will just plug into your network and allow you to install apps on them directly.
Another option is to use MediaMonkey to catalog and provide access. They even have an Android app.
Lastly, regular external HDD are meant for occasional access, not continuous work. Most have a duty cycle of about 25%, meaning they should only be run about that amount of time before dying. This is why I went with NAS HDDs. If you have the money, go with an expandable RAID. Once you start using that capacity, you’ll find you want more.
- Comment on A 7,000-Pound Car Smashed Through a Guardrail. That’s Bad News for All of Us. 8 months ago:
There was a discussion a couple of years ago around gasoline taxes and how they are supposed to pay for roadway maintenance. The question came up about EVs. There were discussions about how to include EVs in the taxation system so they would pay for their fair share of the road. One of the options was to impose a tax attached to your vehicle registration based upon the weight of the vehicle. The greater the weight, the more wear and tear it produces on the road surface. This might be one solution to the barrier problem, namely moving the extra cost to the reason for the extra cost.

- Comment on ‘There is no such thing as a real picture,’ says Samsung exec. 9 months ago:
Oh, I know it’s impossible to do something like that. There’s a reason that whenever I upload a photo I always crop it. That way, if there’s ever a question about copyright, I can simply reveal a portion that was cropped. Likewise, someone taking such a photo should keep the untouched, uncropped original in a safe place. You know spicy photos will be used in a questionable way, so this will make it easier for the original owner to refute any modifications.

watermarks and metadata
It’s a start at least.
- Comment on TikTok requires users to “forever waive” rights to sue over past harms 11 months ago:
I’m sure they have absolutely nothing to be afraid of. They’re just defending themselves. /s
- Comment on What Improvements Would You Like To See In Free/Libre, Open Source Music Software? 11 months ago:
I would like to see a cross platform music library. One where I can maintain the library on my PC, and synchronize played versus unplayed to my mobile device. So far, it doesn’t seem to be one that can keep track of what was played on my mobile device and synchronize that information to my desktop.
