PS4 Pro can play blu-ray and DVD but not 4K UHD Blu-ray nor CD. That said, I have a PS4 Pro and the disk never worked for me for movies. I didn’t even buy disc games because I assumed it wouldn’t work. I think the physical disc drives were really poor quality in the entire PS4 generation. I’ve got a PS3 slim and a PS5 we use for movies now. Good point about disc prices. Even UHD is cheap and often includes HD Blu-ray and a digital code.

We will probably have to import discs from regions without reliable internet at some point. Which standard are you betting on? Region B or C?

From the article: About 75% of the file is normal but the rest is a barrage of unsubtle, offensive sentences relating to politics, sexuality, and current events. The text is crude, provocative, and highly inflammatory – we’re not talking nuanced, fringe political opinions here.

Network effect. It’s easier to convince the one green text to switch than to convince everyone to switch to an alternative. Even in my one immediate family we only have one Android. As a result we have two group threads, one of which excludes that number so images and videos will go through at full quality. Message is the default so people use it. I’m aware that’s not the case in other countries.

I don’t care but you have to convince Apple. People really pile on for the most trivial of comments.

Group chats in RCS weren’t even end-to-end encrypted on Android until August of this year. Green texts are a security risk.

Taking an after hours $15/hour job to learn the business means he was checking the place out without committing to leave his day job. Some companies won’t allow interns to work for free either. They had $150,000 in sales the first year which means it was probably a startup. I won’t comment on the rest of your point but a guy that had a PHD by 1984 buying a business in 1991 doesn’t seem weird to me.

The business of the newspaper is to publish news. The problem is that XTwitter is not a news publishing platform and their recent changes make it almost impossible to figure out what is real or not. So many posts are made to look like news releases but there is not one bit of parody in them. If someone wants to have their own private account, fine, but their official work ought to not be interfered with by trolls and people with a malicious agenda.

I’m fairly certain that Apple’s dongles connect an ADC monitor to a DVI video card. The Belkin connector does the opposite. I’m not positive Apple didn’t make a similar Adapter but i know I paid more like $30 for the Belkin adapter I bought for a PowerMac G4 tower.

The article is about leftists who celebrate the actions of Hamas.

Apple never sold this dongle. Belkin did. The video card typically has two connectors and this allows you to use a second standard monitor, which was not common at the time.

Where is the nuance in babies being decapitated.

I had one of these. I sold it 10 years ago for about double what they cost new when I bought it. For a period of time they couldn’t give these things away and I’m fairly certain I bought mine open box at MicroCenter.

I cannot understand why news organizations and large companies wouldn’t want to run official communication through Mastodon. I understand the network effect but allowing your employees to create a Twitter account is a bit like letting them officially do business with their personal AOL email account. I don’t think Mastodon is even close to perfect but it gives the publisher a huge amount of control.

Thanks for clarifying. I misread that because it’s so unusual! Maybe they were trying to make it “fun”.

I used to insist on playing games inverted but at some point I switched and now I feel your pain!

For the most part I agree with you but generally want controls remapped to match current conventions. A lot of PS2 games are hard to play because they were making button layouts up as they went and it interferes with my muscle memory!

I know that’s a joke but even Apple offers that in iCloud. I for sure use different passwords but forget that obscured email is even an option.

My understanding is that the result of the LinkedIn case is that you can scrape data that you have permission to view but not to access data that you were not intended to. The end result that ClickWrap agreements are unenforceable.
