Words evolve, and sometimes, they gain new meanings. “Bare metal” is not a scientific terms, and so it can be bent depending on the context.

You can either accept that or not, it doesn’t change the fact that that’s what it now can mean.

It’s just what it means in this specific context.

They’re not running directly on the host, with directly meaning directly.

If you go by definition, I agree with you, but the definition is not always the thing to go off of.

Have you read my comment? It’s about where the packages and services are installed.

In this case, they’re installed in the container, not on the host

Not in this context. Bare metal means all packages and services installed and running directly on the host, not through docker/lxc/vms

Earth doesn’t have any bills though, dues to the United Federation of Planets are set to start in 2161 at the earliest

Yeah, but people don’t like change, and I’d expect low level engineers to like it even less.

And looking at Linux, that shit still supports ancient hardware, being able to actually get rid of old code (that now has to be maintained alongside the new code) is gonna be a PITA.

I’m just guessing, but what about backwards compatibility? Or cross-system compatibility?

For example, something like a syscall that’s existed for 20 years. Changing it would break old apps.

Of course you could just keep the now “old” syscall and add new methods that replicate it’s behavior, but haven’t you then introduced bloat? More ways to do the same thing, meaning (eventually) more bugs, more fragmentation, memory usage, etc.

Think the difference there is that the invoices of the guy from the article were actually fake invoices for real things

Yep, fair enough.

Yeah that’s very far from the definition of a scam. A bad product isn’t a scam, you know exactly what you’re getting, it’s on you if you “fall” for it.

Still more complicated than Netflix.

Also, none of the money you pay goes to the original creators. If I’m already paying, I want at least of the cash to go to them.

But this is a Piracy community. RD costs money. Not good enough. We’re talking about the “ideal” solution.

So that’s interesting, how exactly are they scamming people?

Yeah but you just named three things you’ve got to setup to work together, where RD is actually paid.

Netflix you open and it works, that’s my point.

Netflix, with everything and with an option to download an .mp4 if desired.

Not sure where you’re looking, but it costs around 430€ here in the Czech Republic

Well maybe now they aren’t flying off shelves anymore ;)

Correct

Have you actually seen the video?

It in no way talks about “hidden advertising”.

Nothing what GN was talking about was about money though, it was about rushing things and making mistakes

Have you noticed how Intel is doing so much worse than AMD pretty much across the board though? Maybe it just reflects reality :)

You can look at the stock chart for a quick summary.
