What about Blu-ray? I don’t want DVD quality and last time I checked you can’t exactly legally backup Blu Rays because you break DRM.

Most 4k kids movies on eBay were from the bargain bin at Walmart. The DVDs are as cheap as 4k blu rays.

My buddies brother did the same thing with a PS1 and maybe sent his Xbox off somewhere to get it modded. However he was an asshole hermit and wouldn’t let us play or burn any games.

My dad would never cheat or do anything illegal even though he was an EE who could’ve done the mod himself. Today he might do it but there was a strict no stealing policy even for digital things. Like the time he freaked out because I was grabbing stuff from The Scene and wrote down a bunch of terms to research, he saw the word Warez and freaked out.

Most likely the NSA or someone else is ahead of the game and already has a quantum computer. If the tech news rumors are to true the NSA has a facility in Utah that can gather large swaths of the internet and process the data.

FYI this is a parody website. (in case it's not obvious)

It wasn't obvious to me!

If you think this way then why not talk to LLMs exclusively. Don’t let the oxytocin cloud your ability to problem solve.

Isn’t that by design so governments can prosecute citizens they don’t like? For example, curl is probably ok but that one annoying Kim Dotcom guy is probably going to catch a case under some dubious law.

The pirate bay case, one of the laws cited by the judges was an law written to target biker bars and their owners. It only takes a bit of creative work to bend laws and prior cases to match an already made conclusion, if that conclusion has enough political support.

In that way, I don't really think the government need to design laws to have loop holes in them. With enough political pressure they can get the judges to make any decision they like.

Did the same thing early in my career. Built a quick bootstrap website with like 5 pages and all the data was static. The backend was a year off. It was great for end users but the non-IT managers were dumb. Same issue about seeing something working and expecting the world.

What’s the NROs take on capturing the signal from the ground? They already have it from a satellite in space.

If it’s broadcasting then you can pick it up, is my understanding of US law. Hopefully they’re using a secured access point and SSL :-)

How did OP imply anything? He asked why one of the parties in the conflict don’t cut cables.

Depends if the director or VP liked Microsoft or not. I’ve worked at places that loved SQL Server and Microsoft server products in general. Others did not use them anywhere in their datacenter and wouldn’t have considered them. Oracle, IBM, and Microsoft were very dependent on if the people in charged liked them. Not so much technical merits.

Did you read OPs part about AGI and UBI hype?
