My solution is a bit old school: A raspberry pi connected to my network and running miniDLNA. It has an externally powered USB hard drive. My TV runs Android and I have VLC installed. Any DLNA client works including Xbox and mobile phone apps too.
I don't think mini DLNA is even updated anymore so eventually my solution might stop working but it's been running solid for 10 years
Imagine you're a government lawyer working on the US case and you show up to a deposition and pull your iPhone out set it on the table.
What are the chances that your Apple ID and iCloud are mysteriously banned for violations of the terms of service for which Apple can't share the specific reason because of "policy related security reasons" before the week is out?
The risk of a Streisand effect here is pretty high. Hope she's thought it through.
Regrettably, were going to see more and more apps and websites that just automate this kind of abuse.
It'll be sold as a new way to watch porn. Just upload a few pics of your crush and check the boxes for which acts you want to see, and boom, you're downloading it.
It's gonna be a wild ride for a while, no pun intended.
The billion number is because the suretors project he'll lose on appeal and then they will need to collect on his assets which he will fight tooth and nail for again.
So by the time they finally get it they'd only net a tiny profit for the pain. Hardly worth it.
Either that or the price tag is the "We don't want to do business with you but we're also not going to say no" price.
The government people who are in charge of collecting the dough from this judgment will be wise to the possibility that he may not have a bonafide buyer and that he's just fluffing if he says a deal is about to go through.
Any buyer will know that he's a motivated seller so the offers aren't going to be all that great.
When the government seizes banks that are about to fail, usually they seem to find qualified buyers privately and the deal is over within days.
I have a feeling that because Trump has allowed things to get to this point, the government is less interested in selling at the highest price possible and instead will take any offer that settles the debt.
Nobody has 467+ million dollars in cash ready for transfer at any given moment, especially for something like this. That would be poor financial planning even for a billionaire. However... It's not like he didn't have a heads up that it's coming, so it seems like he didn't have his ducks in a row here.
I'm sure even Elon or Bill would have to make some annoyingly painful decisions to get that amount of cash on short notice.
It's telling that he is struggling to borrow against his properties to raise the capital. It suggests that behind the scenes banks are not offering him favorable terms. And even if he were to win on appeal, it will still be quite expensive for him. I'm guessing that in the bank's internal analysis they project the original judgment will stand and therefore are considering how much they will earn after they foreclose on his buildings and sell them. It's potentially sizable...
If the Trump name were removed from the tower the value might actually increase lol.
On the other hand, unless Trump is delusional (granted, it's possible), he must also know that winning on appeal is a long shot and therefore this money, once he puts it up, is gone. I guess his efforts to borrow rather than sell to raise capital are his version of YOLO. Because he's either president and figures out how to stall, or he's old already in the consequences will be short-lived.
Would it be feasible to expose the metadata for posts in such a way that search queries could be customized to sort a front page any way a user wants to see it?
For example average reading time, total upvotes, total number of comments, and other bits and pieces of data could be used to help people tailor their own experience. Perhaps even a sentiment analysis would be interesting to see: serious discussion, jokes and memes discussion, informative posters, political conversation left or right, etc.
What's the saying... You can't use logic to reason people out of beliefs that they didn't use logic to get themselves into?
How could there could possibly be moderates at this point. People who are like... Hmm, I better wait until the next debate or I'm still thinking about it. We already know what we're going to get... With both guys!
If you haven't been paying attention for this long then this is one time when you should probably not show up to vote.
I'm sure this guy did fear for his life. I am sure he did feel like the safest thing he could do in that moment for himself was to fire directly into the unknown car.
And that's why he doesn't belong in our society. He is not welcome to participate given that the above is true, and we need to remove him until the end of time to ensure that no such thing can ever happen again.
There's no Wendy's near me, and I don't follow their social media. I pretty much forgot they existed for a few years until I heard about this pricing idea.
I think this was a publicity stunt. We'd all just about completely forgot Wendy's exists... So they come out with this wild idea, let it float for a couple of days and then cancel it. Smooth PR move.
In my first IT job, this type of incident was part of our threat model.
This was pre-cloud and our servers were all in the same building.
If an envelope full of white power arrives to the building and the entire building is closed for days to assess and clean, how can we keep the business working remotely with zero lead time? Good times.
