YouTube app is supposed to support 4k on tvOS 14. I don't know if Google already updated the app or not.
Although if the object is single threaded too many reads might overload it. Or is the object then replicated?
If people already like Google, why does Google need the "free advertising" by shoving it in Chrome, which is also shoved into all Android devices? This is similar to their recent move of mandating all Play Store apps use your payment APIs, when according to them "97% of apps already use it".

And before you say "but it's Google's own product!" -- Yeah, and that's exactly the point of antitrust laws - you shouldn't abuse your power in one market to promote your product against competitors/your own platform users in another market.

> DuckDuckGo needs to stand on its own two feet

The Android market is already rigged in favor of Google all through out. All Android contracts with OEMs are written so that Google's apps are favored. That was the whole point of the EU antitrust investigations, too. Also, why didn't Google let Chrome "stand on its own feet" by allowing users to install it if they wanted to and not include it by default in Android? Again, double standards.

> cannot compete without the advertising that money buys

You mean the advertising for which Google gets paid, further strengthening its own position? Google is kind of like a casino here, the house always wins in this situation. Either you are not allowed to compete or you "pay for the privilege".

Honestly, I'm very surprised the EU accepted this as a "solution" for Google's antitrust issues, especially after they mandated that Microsoft needs to include all major browser options for free in Windows before.
> I have analyzed Samsung, Sony, LG and Philips and ALL of them send data

I always suspected something like this, but never went through the effort of checking.

Did you by chance document and publish your analysis somewhere?

If they do this with TV sets sold in the EU, then unless they offer some opt-out mechanism (actually, opt-IN, but whatever) directly on the TV set, this is a blatant GDPR violation.

We're in the middle of transitioning from making decisions based on pure intuition to being purely logical and data-driven... I wonder if that's such a good idea.

There was this article a while back I read that talked about how native peoples made poisonous foods edible. Some processes were extremely convoluted and unreasonable, but it worked, and efforts by a "reasonable" man to make the process more efficient would have certainly doomed the whole tribe.

Examples like that really make me question the idea that an efficient economy is the best economy (let alone if capitalism and free markets are ideal).

It might just be my university, but to me that reads like a joke. The last semester has been utterly useless to me. I might as well have taught myself (actually, I mostly did.)
It’s not the concept of indentation that’s the problem, it’s the implementation. Tabs vs space, smart editors, auto-linters all make it easier or more difficult depending on the situation, which created insecurities by constantly breaking expectations. In case of code, the fact there is not visible difference (most of the time) between tabs and space make it quite easy for bugs to creep in.
You can absolutely do that with the MP4 container format - I have. For the most part, browsers ignore the header information.

MP4 was used for streaming long before WebM existed, and before HLS was established.

But a 6 month limited subscription means that only profit yielding creators will be able to benefit, if at all.

And that means youtube is entrenching creators into their homemade economy even deeper. Already it's a fantastic phenomenon that people have created careers out of youtube.

But they are 100% dependent on Youtube.

Creating a new expenditure for them to have subtitles will only make it more exclusive and make them even more dependent on their youtube salary.

Small independent creators will have no chance to compete.
I think spurdoman77 refers to effort when he says "work". To me, one clearly should be paid based on the deliverable.
Ideally, yes. But software development is a new field and thus far no one has come up with a reliable way to measure throughout. This is related to why estimating is so hard, we don't know how to determine how hard a task will be before we start it, and once we finish it, we don't know how to determine objectively if it was done as efficiently as possible. Each task is different, and when something goes wrong or takes longer than expected it's hard to tell if the reason is incompetence or actual difficulties.
Wasn't AFP deprecated in Mavericks? I'm fairly certain that it hasn't had an update for some time. At this stage, it's certainly advisable not using it for critical applications.

> YAML has 22 ways to write booleans - no less!

I would argue that XML, in practice, has many more. Everything in XML is a string by default, and only an XSD can provide actual type information. Lots of things don't, and those that do often define their own boolean types.

Can i modify the DNS resolver on a samsung tv (i do not intend to have one ever)
Term BMW - in Google, 2nd result is the local site while in DDG there is no local result at all. Sure, i can check the Region option and it will show up, however the region option completely messes up search results for different terms because when i search for a different thing half of results are from Japanese sites and not even English (i am not close to Japan). Another Google thing that i like is that there is a date for posts which DDG doesn't seem to have unless i am missing it in the settings.
Is this a joke?

Why would anyone want this?
Significant white space is one of those ideas that’s very appealing in small examples and demos but falls apart in production. I was a big proponent of it myself until I saw it cause some very subtle production bugs.

Now I’m more than happy to endure a little extra typing in order to be able to defer code formatting in complete confidence to prettier.

Yeah, but that's just simply inconvenient. When you look at a copyrighted building or hear a copyrighted song, you need a quick and integrated way to debit the royalties from your crypto wallet. How did folks do that in 2020? Did you have to enter your credit card details in hundreds of websites before leaving the house each day?

I bought a 4K Samsung The Frame. When i turned it on it requested that I agree to several agreements and it wanted me to connect it to the internet.

I declined everything and hooked it up to my Apple TV. Super happy.
The slow judicial system is the biggest weapon that the government and other large entities with money have. Not everyone can afford to put their lives on hold for 3 years while a court case slowly winds its way up to a judge.
In Haskell mooing is an impure side effect. It has to be handled with a special design pattern - which recursively generates further side effects, including an infinite number of online tutorials which fail to explain what it does.

This pattern is called a Moonad.
Common reaction for this is that Samsung made a stupid decision and they are losing money because of this. Supporting evidence is anecdotal, personal experience.

I seriously doubt this is true. It's probably rational behaviour for Samsung to push this trend as far as it goes and then retreat a little if negative reaction shows in the bottom line. Or maybe limit the offending products to lower price category.
Nah, you should have a complete understanding from all sides. India is heavily anti majority and hates Hinduism than any other country. All these NGOs and so called feminist organisations try to show hinduism in bad light. I don't really need to show references and links. A quick Google search will show it all. :)
generally agree, but I bet there is more like 500-5000 people that understand this kind of stuff. Most modern web tools support at least some basic functionality of synchronously working on the same document.
That may have been the original, I heard it many years ago.

Where they are allowed to compete yes, they will compete on service. But in many places it is illegal for hospitals to compete at all due to Certificate of Need laws. In places with CON laws, if you can't prove that your hospital will not compete with existing providers, you cannot build it.

One difference is that captions shouldn't differ too much from the original audio. If they do, it's confusing if you're reading and listening at the same time. Translated subtitles don't have this problem.
That's why I opt for "non smart" TV's and then connect them with either a PS3/ PS4 to make them smart my own way. I get all the goodness of netflix and am not bothered by ads. Not to mention pihole is also configured as a local ad blocker in my network to keep those pesky ads out.
Years away? Nah. The PinePhone was literally useless as a phone at the start of the year, now I'm close to mainlining it. As long as calling/SMS/internet works it's good enough for me.
you can but if it cant resolve it will fallback to googles resolver automatically. At least this is what happened on my model.
I have a Sony Android TV from the 2015 generation.
It always had a row to advertise random app I don't use (Netflix, Playstation Video, Disney something etc...)
It also always advertise content from those platform, you have to disable "recommendations" from apps one after one as you can only disable recommendations for an app that pushed its crap at least once.

The last update also broke hardware video decoding for a whole range of h264 videos as well as pushing some kind of weird 3rd party that seems to be something that basically monitor everything you do with your TV. It was advertised as a feature to access the TV guide.

My next TV will not be a so-called "smart" TV and not certainly not a Sony.
> However, as computing became more and more important and presigious a field, more men entered it

Anecdotally, almost all of the male programmers I know (and I know many) entered the field because they thought technology was cool, out of interest in the field or they enjoy the problem solving challenge. Almost all of them tinkered with computers and programming in their own time before entering the field and many still do outside of their jobs (not to improve their job prospects, but because they find it fun or interesting or intellectually stimulating). Incidentally, almost all of the (far fewer) female programmers I know entered the field for the same reason.

My conclusion, perhaps wrongly, is that more males are interested in computing than females.

It is called a monitor. Works just fine for whatever and people use it for work.

The factory I work at had large one scattered around to show line information. Some of the information is safety critical and so if it is inyeruped with an ad there will be legal issues.

Toyota recently pulled out of the country due to ineffective bureaucracy and that's when they're pushing for more manufacturing. In cases like these there's no way for them to fight if they're against you.
As an older comment mention, they can easily add an delay that makes it work without an connection only for the duration in which an return is possible.

It is very hard to win against hostile design.
Just to play the devils advocate:

Ads are not shown, when the TV is asked to "reproduce faithfully the signal that I pass it". And the TV is sold on its ability to show all sorts of things that are not just the signal passed to it. Like Netflix and Amazon Prime and all the menus related to those services.

The Ads are shown when the TV is asked to show its menu of applications and features.

Still not great, but not at all what you are implying.
That's just not true. By definition all our identities are basically linked to a biometric, namely our face.

If you walk into your bank and want to withdraw a large sum from your account, someone at the counter looks at your face and a shitty small photo taken from you either on their system or on your passport to determine if there is a "face match".

A proper technological solution to the current more insecure human verification process of your biometric is only an improvement, not a horrible idea as you suggest.
This has been pretty thoroughly debunked as an over simplification. Hormones play a large role in weight loss. Hormones get out of whack with lack of sleep, poor food, too much alcohol, being lethargic, not getting enough sun, depression, anxiety, etc. I feel like I just described the many Americans.
>Drunk people are banned from driving when they're drunk, not when they're sober.

But they're not just banning gatherings of sick people when they are sick, they are banning healthy people from gathering too. So maybe we don't ban driving every night, just New Years Eve and St Paddy's day, when there's a higher number of drunk drivers out?

>2 - despite my criticism above, the US undergraduate design is, by and large, intended to be broad rather than deep; while in most countries you can get an undergrad law or medicine degree and then be a lawyer or physician, in the US undergrads are expected not only to study their subject (“major”) but also some literature, maths, perhaps a foreign language etc. Actual profession comes in many cases from an advanced degree. I think this is a better system though not always well implemented.

I'm studying CS and I had physics, electronics, history, intellectual property law, PLC programming, automatics and foreign language and more that I do not remember.

Isn't that broad?
The “Hidden” Purple Memorial in Your Web Browser
SMART tells you what the disk knows. Clicking in HDDs is usually caused by the head not moving fluidly over the platter.

When the firmware detects this, it tries to reset the head, usually by parking it for a moment and then unparking it. Most of the time this solves the issue.

This inherently doesn't cause data loss or corruption, just high latency when using the disk. It can lead to an increased number of high fly writes as the head is unparked and is usually a bit too high for a bit until it finds it's air cushion again.

The usual suspects in your smart data are "Recalibration Retries", "Seek Error Rate", "Head Stability" (if WD), "High-Fly Writes", "GMR Head Amplitude" and "Head Flying Hours".

All of these generally don't cause runtime issues with the drive, but a clicking sound or an increase in these numbers means the mechanical assembly of the HDD, while still in spec and good enough to operate the HDD almost normaly, is degraded.

Of course, your head may crash down on the platter the next recelibration try, the clicking causes a lot of head movement and parking, so it also causes a lot of wear. Drives which are clicking age a lot faster and in reverse, clicking is an easy indicator the drive is beginning the end of it's useful lifecycle.
SPA – do you mean single-page application? The user guide is a bit dated compared to the current state of the app, I should really update it :)
It does not matter if it's China, Hawaii or Timbuktu, it's wrong in any case. I can understand somehow western people sinophobia as they will be displaced as "owners of the world" in the next 50-100 years but if I were a "western" citizen now and were given a forced choice between China or my government having my digital data I would choose China every single time. Same reason for a Chinese citizen to choose Germany and not China for example.
Similar to FinGo (https://fingo.to) and Hitachi VeinID Five (https://digitalsecurity.hitachi.eu/products/veinid-five/).

All these new biometrics share one common theme:

Better privacy for a user. FaceID has the problem that I can't hide it. As soon as I walk somewhere cameras can capture and match my face against their own records, however if I never registered my face ID with Amazon then they will know that I am possibly a recurring customer, but not know who I am. Palm IDs, VeinIDs, etc. are biometrics which I can easily hold back from disclosing. Only when I actively insert or present my finger/hand/palm I allow another device to scan my hand and do a match analysis. This means that I as a user am in better control of when and to whom I want to disclose my identity.

You are always self-taught. That's the only way to actually learn . University only does three things

1) pacing and structure ,

2) grouping you with other similar level peers you learn along with

3) giving access to experts who can help when stuck in a complex topic.

Some people don't need a lot of this , some do. Most attend to get a job after graduation not because they may or may not need assistance to learn.

I thought the number one rule for First Responders was not to cause injury (on the scene or en-route) to yourself or bystanders and not to cause further injury to the casualty.

Then I suppose we will be expected to all feel sorry and cry for the terrible loss of this heroic first responder ... despite the idiotic risks they took.
It does exactly what you would hope, at least for Samsung TVs. Ads disappear, other functions are not affected.

Upon discovering the ads I was gonna return mine for a comparable LG, until I learned LG also have ads—at least this way I can pretend I'm not being taken for a ride.

At the time I didn't have any external devices capable of 4K Netflix or YouTube; now I do I should factory reset the TV and set it up without network access,
Mine is an Android OLED model from 2019 — I guess it’s more correct to say I haven’t _noticed_ an ad. I use my Apple TV exclusively for “smart” functions, and the TV wakes up and goes to the correct input whenever a connected device wakes. I never see the Android TV home. It’s still a far cry from the Samsung.

Of course the elephant in the room is money. The public doesn't seem to have enough money to do projects.

One big takeaway point - IMHO - is that there's no scale, no growth in construction. So there's no big market, no new frontier for optimizing it. Sure, there are always a few startups, but that's peanuts.

Where are the trillions of dollars allocated to get good at building things in this century/millenium? Umm, nowhere. (Or basically spent on iPhones, housing and healthcare.) So it's no surprise that everything is custom made, challenged in court, takes forever and costs all the funds available and some.
