Biden has shown that he is willing to change his opinions and actions when he makes a mistake. He voted for Defense of Marriage Act back in the 90's, but IIRC after he became friends with an aid who happened to be trans (yeah, trans ≠ gay, but I guess they're close enough in some people's eyes) his opinions on LGBT people changed and he now strongly supports gay marriage. Point being, he could have changed his mind about striking workers too.

As far as I know, HD-DVD was a competitor to BluRay and so it's not compatible with BluRay drives. You'll need to find one that works with HD-DVDs specifically.

Personally, I have a very old Kindle Fire mounted to the wall that I set to never go to sleep. Its still powerful enough to run a web browser to access the HA interface, so it's a good use of tech that would otherwise be sitting in the obsolete pile. However, it is just powered with a USB cable hanging across the wall, so not super elegant.

I would say that the images are either explicit enough for RedGIFs or safe enough for imgur. Not sure there's really much in-between

Not yet (I want to find a pack with a more sane quantity before ordering) but I've used plenty of things that are held in place with set screws over the years as an avid tinkerer and I can almost guarantee this will be much more secure than a butterfly clip

I literally just learned that these existed when Amazon recommended them to me randomly, they use set screws so they're much more secure than any other type I've tried. You can probably find them at other retailers with some searching!

Yes, and no. In theory, you could absolutely "back up" any physical media you have to prevent wear and tear to the disc, which is a completely legitimate use case. And it's not considered piracy because by buying that media, you purchased the legal rights to use it for personal viewing. However, if you ever gave a copy of that rip to another person (or gave that disc away to someone else without deleting your rips), you would be commiting piracy.

In fact, I believe that even viewing the media alongside another person is technically not allowed, although clearly that's not enforced unless you're doing some sort of public showing.

Oh I agree on the story. Honestly though, in my opinion SPM still manages to feel more like a Paper Mario game than it's predecessors, because you still had so many returning elements. You had cameos from previous games, series staples like partners and a leveling system, and of course a wonderful story. Sticker Star returned to the 3D RPG format, but sacrificed so much of what made the PM series special and enjoyable.

That's only if you want to watch it outside your home network, and either way I would recommend not just opening a port to the world like that. I'd say to use Tailscale (which is trivially easy to install) for remote viewing.

To be clear, they're trying to get rid of it because oral phenylephrine doesn't work. It's completely ineffective at being a decongestant.

When the newest Paper Mario game came out, the developers said in some interviews that the reason the games style completely changed in Sticker Star and beyond is that Nintendo got super protective over how their characters are depicted. They weren't allowed to make their own variations of established Mario-world inhabitants (like a professor Goomba or a pirate Bomb-omb or a purple Kamek named Kammy), they either had to use the characters as they were (such as just "Toad", or just "Kamek") or use their own completely original designs. It's also why none of the recurring characters from past games showed up since Super Paper Mario.

Holy crap! After hearing how anal Nintendo got about their character designs cause of branding after Super Paper Mario, I was positive they'd never remake this. I'm super excited!!

Yes, because streaming boxes can be upgraded independently of the TV and so you can always have hardware that's actively supported. My old Roku 3 was still getting updates as of a few years ago, while my "smart" TV from 2015 stopped getting security updates long ago.

This is literally just a type of NFC. The same type of thing that's used whenever you scan your credit card or use an Amiibo. It is interesting that it doesn't use RFID standards, but conceptually it's the same idea of an ultra-low-power chip with an antenna with the only purpose being to transmit a few bytes of data when scanned.

Again, the impact is nothing more than that from a standard lightbulb. Should you stare right at the UV LED at full intensity? Probably not. But should a small amount shining through a filtered medium be of any concern? Not at all.

I'm confused, are you implying that 3D printers are giving off harmful UV light? Because they only use UV-A, which is non-ionizing and won't damage your skin any more than regular sunlight (actually, it'll damage it less.)

Personally, I used TrueNAS Core (known as simply FreeNAS at the time) for my very first NAS setup knowing nothing about BSD-based systems, and it's been pretty much fine. It has ZFS which is absolutely desirable for a NAS that you store important things on, and It has some quirks but Ive been able to accomplish everything I've wanted to with it just by looking up the miriad of guides available. Not saying it's better than the alternatives, just sharing my personal experience.

However, if you've already got OMV setup and it's working for you so far, I would stick with it. I believe you could always import your drives into another NAS system if you decide to move later, so why fix what isn't broken?

Because the state is forcing schools to not do those things which modern society has deemed valuable and important enough to have implemented. And the state is doing it in order to punish the "other"- in this case, transgender students, or really anything the state deems to be "woke", a term that could and has been used to encompass anything the policital right doesn't like.

The reason you grew up without diversity and inclusion classes isn't because the state banned them for political reasons. Thats the difference.

If you're actually ripping bluerays, I would highly recommend using MakeMKV. It's technically paid software but while it's in beta you can can a free license key from their forums. BluRays can be formatted oddly and include a bunch of crap you probably don't want (preroll ads, etc), so when I tried to rip one with jusy ffmpeg it was a pain, but MakeMKV deals with most of that for you and gets a 1-to-1 copy of the movie files + anything like captions and alternate audip tracks.

A patent alone doesn't really mean they've been actively working on it for that long. It's very common for companies to register patents for things they don't plan to produce (either ever, or until some future point.)
