My guess is that if it ever does go to court that N’s argument will be that you don’t own the keys.

My understanding is that M4 is very efficient, and I would imagine that its energy use on sleep is negligible.

And as for affordability, I think the M4 Mac mini is supposed to be a terrific deal, no? As long as you use the base specs.

If those button combos seem strange, on an SNES controller those are opposite directions on each pad. E.g. Y is the leftmost face button.

I thought Spotify gave shite royalties.

I only ever beat it with a friend in 2 player. He really carried me, it probably would have been much easier for him in 1P!

Can you imagine if someone pulled this nonsense in the states???

Depends where you live in Canada.

I’m a teacher and I have a USB stick full of textbook PDFs. It wouldn’t be cool to email them on my professional account but sneakernet is the ultimate VPN lol

Makes me wonder what has been lost to the trash already.

I have a collection of music videos organized by artist. I have absolutely no idea where I got them from… I forget how I did it and it kills me. I wish I could remember how I set it up - they seem to be better quality than YouTube and only recently got into ytdlp.

If I remember then I’ll post it on here.

Anyone who has had to troubleshoot anything Windows related knows just how useless anything from a Microsoft website is.

THPS.

I often tell my students “whatever you do, don’t go to libgen dot rs to download our textbook illegally. You’re gonna want to avoid Anna’s archive as well. You really want to steer clear from these malicious websites.”

Yeah. To be specific, you wouldn’t want people to donate and expect a specific service. Or worse, donate in exchange for their site whitelisted.

I wonder if HomeKit and HomeKit bridge would satisfy that itch.

I set it up so I can use Siri to open my garage door. Works great! You just need at least one HomeKit device like an Apple TV or a HomePod.

Not without DRM that I’m aware of.

Sure but you can liquidate cryptocurrency to pay your taxes using fiat.

Yeah exactly. Like when Netflix increased their prices and prevented password sharing and everybody claimed that they would foothold business. Turns out that the profits lost on people who stopped using their services paled in comparison to the profits gained from the price hikes and new people signing up after being kicked off their old account.

What about cash?
