I'm sure it just needs an oil change...

English is the language that beats up other languages in dark alleys then rifles through their pockets for loose phrases and spare grammar.

Huh, usually they ask 'jump where?'

If they are injecting ads into the actual video stream; it won't matter what client you use. You request the next video chunk for playback and get served a chunk filled with advertising video instead. The clients won't be able to tell the difference unless they start analyzing the actual video frames. That's an entirely server-side decision that clients can't bypass.

Pretty sure the head is the stock and the handle is the barrel.

/edit: based on the other picture, perhaps not. Either way seems like a pretty poor design really.

Trees, heads ¯\('-')/¯ Won't make much difference with a lead ball burried in your face

Don't forget to unload before chopping trees... That would suck.

Only if the ads are a fixed length and always in the same place for each playback of the same video.

Inserting ads of various lengths in varying places throughout the video will alter all the time stamps for every playback.

The 5th minute of the video might happen 5min after starting playback, or it could be 5min+a 2min ad break after starting. This could change from playback to playback; so basing ad/sponsor blocking on timestamps becomes entirely useless.

Mmm EULA-Roofies

I'd just like to clarify: the new machines aren't MRI (the magnets in those would prohibit all metal objects being within 100ft).

The new machines are also xray; but the xray emiters and detector are now on a spinning carriage similar to an MRI. This allows you to build a 3d model of the object and calculate it's volume, which when combined with the density measurements gives much more reliable material detection.

This also means your stuff doesn't have to be removed from bags to ensure items aren't blocking each other from the scanner.

Been a while since it was updated; but I used to use Win32DiskImager for reading/writing rpi cards.

I had a couple cards fail where they wouldn't throw any errors during the actual write process, but once on to the verify step (checking that what was written to the card matches the source file, after writing) then they'd fail. Data hadn't been written correctly, but it wasn't reporting failures during writes.

Perhaps this is your issue? Not sure I'd trust those cards regardless.
