0·2 years agoThey had a big library, but not the user base. They were definitely not maintaining anywhere near the infrastructure and bandwidth of major streaming platforms. Netflix claims 260 million users. It’s not hard to get a giant catalog when you dont have to pay for it.

Technology@lemmy.world•Critical vulnerability affecting most Linux distros allows for bootkitsEnglish
31·2 years agoThis flaw is not really that bad because it requires the attacker to already have total and complete control over the system already. For example, if they were able to steal the root password.
This flaw just makes it easier for the attacker to hide and harder to evict them.
So, like a few days to run a full backup and an eternity to resync a RAID array.

Technology@lemmy.world•The most exciting 2024 tech isn't AIEnglish
112·2 years agoOne of the hurdles to ARM is that you need to recompile and maintain a separate version of every piece of software for the different processors.
This is a much easier task for a tightly controlled ecosystem like Mac than the tons of different suppliers Windows ecosystem. You can do some sort of emulation to run non-native stuff, but at the cost of the optimization that you were hoping to gain.
Another OS variation also adds a big cost/burden to enterprise customers where they need to manage patches, security, etc.
I would expect to see more inroads in non-corporate areas following Apple success, but not any sort of explosion.

I have had various sticks and Roku highest end models and then got the latest ATV with hard wire port that adds Dolby vision and high frame rate HDR. I have a 2022 high-end TV.
The video quality is noticeably better. Not sure of older ATV, but this is clearly better than the top end Roku. Also, I’m not sure if it is the same on older tvs
The other thing is that you want to hard wire if at all possible. Even the best wifi can’t touch the reliability of a wire

411·2 years agoThe only time that a corporation will take action is when it impacts profits.
If the NAZIs drive more profits than they lose, they will stay. It’s as simple as that.
Any corporate social conscience is just a show. Post some rainbows and say that shutting down NAZI is too difficult, but don’t do anything that might reduce the profits that the hate controversies create.

1164·2 years agoDoes this really matter. We aren’t getting it anyway.
The telcom/cable companies are just going to take the “broadband” money, build out a couple of neighborhoods, claim it is too hard, and then keep all the money.
They have already done it many times. Free taxpayer money with zero repercussions. Why would they do anything different.

Look at mister fancy pants with and assembler.
How about entering straight opcode, operand with only a hex keypad and two pairs of 7 segment LEDs. You can only see one set of numbers at a time. You had to write it out on paper to be able to keep track and count positions so you don’t use your spot.
I had to do this as a project in school. Two 8088 units that we breadboarded to a UART that we used to drive a fiber optic link to communicate with each other with a basic protocol. All descrete components hand wired and coded.
It made you tie all of skills together into a full system of hardware and software.
