That sounds much more reasonable. Thanks for the details.

That privacy-protecting screenshot detection "feature" sounds like DRM. Android will likely prevent screenshots on websites and content that requests it.

(android can already tell if you take a screenshot...)

Sooo steam engines ride on water?

My last projector came with a low power android TV stick. I thought that was pretty cool, even knowing that I'd never use it. That means the smart TV features are there for the people that want them and can literally be thrown in the garbage for those that don't.

Tacos using cabbage leaf or low carb mini tortillas

Crack chicken

Steak and eggs (easy!)

Airfrier chicken wings (also super easy!)

Shrimp scampi

Beef stroganoff (just skip the pasta)

Not on my daughter's birthday!

No smart features, no apps, no internet connectivity. I'm ok with pre/post picture processing features as long as you can disable them.

I'd say there's a significant amount of storage available for cache. On the first transcoding the video is saved to cache so that the cached version can be streamed in the future. After enough time lapses or the cache becomes full, the cached video is deleted

[–] sarchar@programming.dev 8 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Do you absolutely know they're storing those qualities individually? It's perfectly plausible that they do on the fly transcoding.

And some things have experienced price deflation. It's all still related. Point still stands - central banking is the primary issue.

[–] sarchar@programming.dev 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

No. Not because of overpopulation, but because the central bank is devaluing the currency. That transfers wealth from all of us and gives it to TPTB.

I use the saying quite often: "You can buy something nice, or you can buy something cheap and then something nice."
