Surely someone would import them and sell for €2 and then someone else would sell them for €1.5 and then someone else would sell them for €1.2 if you were just being ripped off. Is that really the only reason you could think of?
Because they can sell more views if paying customers are happy.

I refuse to pay for Netflix because even if paid I wouldn't be able to watch the content (including Netflix originals where the "rightsholders don't allow it" argument doesn't make much sense) in reasonable quality.

Meanwhile, people can watch it from an unlicensed source without paying (legality varies by country but generally low risk for users), and as long as adblock works, the experience really isn't much worse than with Netflix.
I worked with a pastor in the Philippines doing charity work a number of years ago, he outright said that his good deeds were all to spread and grow the religion, not because doing good deeds is a good thing to do. I did not like that one bit but it’s hard to argue against given these Filipinos really did need food parcels.

The Japanese mafia also give out charity to get people inside. Putin used to drive around rural regions handing out cash too.
Except that NYC is one of the worst environments in the world for short-hop flights, due to the risk of killing dozens of people on the ground if you crash.

The safety record of non-commercial aviation is not great.

If you want to solve traffic, invest in public transit. Matching the throughput of a single train requires completely saturating the sky with small aircraft.
Religion is a form of psychotherapy. Prayer is a form of meditation.

The prevalence of it across time, geography and cultures is an indication of its usefulness to humankind.
Unfortunately, using Windows Server as a gaming computer is highly frustrating, and rarely works long-term. Biggest issue is driver compatibility (especially video drivers). Direct X used to be an issue, but I think it actually runs fine now in Server 2019. A much better solution in today's world would be to just run Linux. Steam now has >80% of the Top-100 Windows games running on Linux.

Obesity is smoking of the 21st century. Only it kills slower, because the constellation of metabolic disease is less aggressive than lung cancer and more manageable with drugs.

This is one of the worst regressions of human civilization. We are, on average, much less fit than in 1970, and the regression is even stronger in the more developed countries.

And there seems to be no one willing to spend political capital on this problem. Too many people feel uncomfortable just voicing their concern. One of the reasons might be that the problem is ubiquitous. Liberals are fat, conservatives are fat, atheists are fat, Islamists are fat, nationalists are fat ... perhaps not to the exact some degree, but aside from the Amish, all kinds of people are fat and this alone makes the topic awkward.
Atheist-ish - no spiritual practice of any kind.

In terms of beliefs, I think there’s a tonne of massive, unanswered questions about the universe, and it’s certainly possible that there are forces out there that resemble spiritual concepts. Something vaguely resembling a soul, or an intelligent life that created the universe, that sort of thing. Or not - I have no real opinion on this other than “nobody knows”.

I do think that all popular religions on earth were created by people, though. Likely started similar to cults, and evolved into something much more loosely controlled. I don’t think they’re entirely negative, religion can be a powerful positive force for a lot of people, but I do think they’re just stories made by humans, for humans.
I use FreeCAD, which is FOSS and available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

You'll also need "slicer" software, which takes the 3D model and slices it into layers and generates the actual tool control program (this is in a language called "G-code", which is more or less standardized across CNC tools).

For that I use Ultimaker Cura, also FOSS and available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

A typical workflow is this:

1) Design part in FreeCAD. Save as a FreeCAD model (so you can edit it later) and also export it as an STL file (a standard 3D model format)

2) Load STL into Cura. Here you can control things like layer height, how much of the interior of the model is hollow (for most models you don't want to waste filament by printing it solid, though you can do that if you choose), what kind of infill pattern is used, etc. The defaults work well most of the time. Though Ultimaker makes their own printers, Cura also has printer profiles for many other common devices, including Ender. Cura generates the G-code file that controls the physical printer.

3) Put the G-code file on the printer (on a micro SD card, in my case) and print.

Many people like a package called Octoprint, which works with a Raspberry Pi to give you remote printer control and monitoring capabilities. I haven't made that step yet, but plan to do that soon.

They actually are going the other way and offering discounts for prepayment since it ensures they will have a customer. The math it pretty easy: if the discount % is < than the no show percentage on regular reservations they’re making money
For forgiveness, you need to actually be contrite and willing to amend your life. God loves you and wants you to heal but you need to be open to it. Also he is just, so he doesn’t exactly let you do whatever you want as you imply. There are always consequences to our actions.

Further, I would argue that without living with God, you are actually freed from responsibility in moral judgements, because of the belief that there is no final judge. You believe no one is ultimately holding you accountable to seek forgiveness or to live rightly, and you must try to adhere to wavering conceptions of courtesy and politeness in a culture with ever shifting morals.
Orthodox Christian here. I pray before our icons in the mornings and evenings and use prayer rope through out the day to read Jesus-prayer [1] (perfect in boring Teams-meetings :)) I try to attend Liturgy every sunday and mostly read books by saints and Church Fathers nowadays. The depth of the teachings of the Church and beauty of out services still astounish me after 11 years of being member of the Church. It’s sad when people judge christians but don’t know anything about the original christianity which differs quite a lot from typical protestantism.

Biggest difference between eastern and western christianity is how we view sin and salvation. In the west they view those from legalistic pov, but we think sin as a disease which can be healed in the Church. That’s why usually orthodox christians aren’t judgmental to others but instead focus on their own struggle.

I’m happy to answer any questions!

For a while, there were HDMI splitters for sale on Amazon that would effectively strip out HDCP 2.2. I haven't checked in a while, but I bet that's still the case.

It seems like these DRM efforts are futile, but then I remember that it's really just about keeping piracy outside of the grasp of "common folks". They will never be able to stop piracy if someone is determined enough.
If you're in Europe, you could do manufacturing in Italy as they have some kind of a special free trade agreement with USA regarding aircraft. Pipistrel is manufacturing some planes in Italy because of that.

The one thing I personally love about Zig, from an outsiders perspective, is the relatively clear scope and the "no, we won't add each and every feature we can imagine"-stance.

It also seems rather elegant.
Logic: You can produce thoughtful work, with detailed examination of how incentives played out in real life, and how real people responded to those incentives. Your work will attract both scientists and laypersons, and be read by both. However, you have to do a lot of data analysis, statistics, and present them in a way that's attractive to both sets of people.

Reverse logic: Write blog posts with outrageous suggestions with little real-world applicability, that are equivalent to argument junk food. The few people who think deeply about statistics and behavioral economics will ignore it, but the vast majority of people will eagerly discuss it, link to your page, and sell your work.

I think the reverse logic works!
Or naming physical units after people (e.g. Tesla).

FWIW, Tesla the company was named after Tesla the person, not the measurement.
That’s because metrics are great for optimization and fine tuning features but terrible for innovation

You could actually offer discounts and still come out ahead, likely far ahead as you’d be both guaranteeing a car and offering a cheaper car. Win-win, you just lose the terrible customers acting unethically.
Atheist here too. The day I stopped believing (around ~18 or so) was the start of my new life. I don't know how or why, but I put more importance on morale than on god's beliefs. I got kinder, more patient, and more of a giver.

I'd be curious to hear a rigorous definition of physical reality for the rationals, IMO only the ones that are also integers have that property. Even those are debatable, owning discrete quantities of things is dependent on human sociocognitive constructs. The concept of the realness of the natural numbers is fundamentally linked to a human definition of realness rather than a first-principles approach like mathematical definitions.

Discrete quantities do seem to exist in as fundamental a sense as anything can, but on small scales and also once you get beyond that you're stuck with probabilistic descriptions. 22/7 is exactly as real as pi, you just use different algorithms to evaluate them to the required degree of precision.

When you try to examine the real world too closely using relative human terms like "exists," things get messy. It feels like I'm physically touching the keyboard keys as I type this but I'm not, it's field repulsion rather than physical contact (or rather, it turns out that what we call physical contact is not). It looks like I'm watching snowflakes swirl on the TV, but that's actually a series of still images exploiting meatspace processing limitations and not the continuous process of the real snowflakes falling outside my window - even though from here I can't really tell the difference. The delicious steaming mug of hot chocolate to my right doesn't actually taste like anything but warm river silt, the flavors are being processed by a different organ entirely. Our concept of reality is inexorably linked to how our brains process the signals around us, and every definition of "realness" I've seen based on human terms is weak.

IIRC quite a few botnets used to use public IRC channels as C2 servers (also a pretty bad idea).
I am a practicing Markoist. I don't have any children, mostly living my life in solitude. Every morning I wake up, I feel different. Sometimes I think about killing myself because this shit doesn't make sense. Sometimes I hop out of bed feeling excited about everything, and I go out and do exciting shit. I believe in myself. I believe in finding the answers within myself. That's why I'm a Markoist, a religion named by the name my parents gave me. I think it's no different than any other religion I have encountered; this is just one I can own. I have a lot of extraordinary rituals I came up with. I do them daily.

I respect others, and all I want in return is the respect back.
I'd personally recommend FreshTomato[0] over OpenWRT, as it has a more approachable UI, is still open-source, and (in my experience) tends to run a bit smoother while needing less babysitting.

Candela Technologies for example has access to the QCA wifi firmware source code for the QCA Wifi 5 AP chips. They provide custom builds here: https://www.candelatech.com/ath10k.php
I know of one other company.
I do not know if they also have access to the driver source code, but I assume so.

Silicon vendors often do not care about small customers, small is probably less than 250k units per year. If you are a customer which is expected to generate more than 5% of the revenue for the complete product line or the business unit then you get good support from these companies.

The proprietary Broadcom Wifi driver was leaked multiple times by some companies which did not run the script to clean a GPL tar, but did something on their own and forgot to remove the Boardcom wifi driver source code. Last time I saw this was already 8 years ago. The Broadcom proprietary Wifi driver also contained the source code of the firmware running on the ARM chip inside the Wifi IP, at least it did this some time ago.

For the Qualcomm 5G modem and the graphics driver this is probably different.

I read The Kingdom of God Is Within You by Tolstoy (who became very spiritual himself and wrote a bunch of religious texts later in his life) and the Bhagavad Gita (two of his Gandhi's biggest inspirations).

It's part why-has-no-one-picked-up-this-thread when two greats like Tolstoy and Gandhi were exploring this together historical interest and part spiritual exploration for me and has been supremely fulfilling so far.

I haven't grounded it all yet but the abolishment of violence of any kind (including things like revenge and self-defense) seems like the most pure moral code I can find + baking that in to the divinity of the Gita (stripping down who you are in it's purest form and seeing the relation of that you + the cosmos).

It's been a few good months. I hope it continues.
I have dedicated APs but don’t have a nice router.

I haven’t figured out if using APs for Wi-Fi and using my ISP’s router for routing loses me any speed. Does anyone think an additional NAT layer could improve performance?

I find it interesting that I grew up in a family which was not exactly religious (no church-going, etc), but incredibly moral in some it’s own way (Russian family based in Lithuania, military grandparents). But basically I had to let go of moral-ethical shame (guilt) to make my life easier too.

Not going to go into the depth of what these morals were, but in essence:

In some way I think it could be similar to having strict parents who had spent their whole life trying to make their children successful but it takes a lot of courage for that child to start living the life they way they want and not the life their parents have guilt-tripped them to live.
Polytopia is my current solitaire (casual game).

I've long been looking for a game like Final Fantasy Tactics with "native" controls. Meaning not a recreation (port) of the gamepad controls.

Basically a prettier Wesnoth. Wesnoth is great. I just prefer the isometric grid.

The Final Fantasy WotL for iOS also has too much fussing with unit's gear.

Said another way, the UX of Polytopia with the campaigning of FF WotL.
The practical difference is that keeping on top of the Win10 vulns would take considerable effort, whereas exploiting (a stock install of) Win2K is “download Metasploit and run this one line to get a remote SYSTEM shell”.

The argument is not that 10 is better or even more secure—surely all the added code has to count for something, although the (glaring absence of) security engineering in 2K gives me a sense of vague horror—it’s that running the latest 10 probably makes you substantially faster than the slowest camper, even if it doesn’t make you faster than the proverbial bear.

I don't use Windows, but have to touch it once or twice a year for various reasons.

I'm in a similar situation.

I have to fire up the company ThinkPad every other month or so. It's amazing to me what is permitted in an so-called "Enterprise" edition of Windows 10.

The part I find most annoying is the way Windows 10 automatically connects to my wifi, even when the setting to not permit auto-connect is enabled. I didn't care when I was in the office, but now that I'm in a work-from-home situation, no, Windows, you don't get to connect to my LAN whenever you feel like it.

After checking and re-checking the setting probably a dozen times, but it persisting in auto-connecting to my router, I had to ban the ThinkPad at the router level. Now on those occasions when I use the machine, I have to remember to un-ban it from my network for the duration of the task, then re-ban the machine.

Microsoft (and my billion-dollar healthcare company) are working with a definition of "Enterprise" with which I was previously unfamiliar.
Thanks! What a strange name. Haha
I feel like I have to defend the parent here. My experience in the nulling/warez/pirating community is that it tends to be young adults doing the majority of the work and mostly they do it for kudos and not monetary benefit.

Adults might be giving them the kudos, but the hard work (again, in my experience) is young adults, of school age.
I hear what you are saying. I'll offer you: people have built some great experiences with jQuery, and people have built some terrible ones with React.

The number of workplaces isn’t constant. The simplest solution would be to reduce the working week. Another is to use collective funds to improve infrastructure and provide essential services.

Planned economies do work, both historically and today. They are immune to the business cycle (as the USSR didn’t experience the Great Depression) and can be more efficient even within capitalist economies (witness Amazon, Apple and Walmart). I recommend “The People’s Republic of Walmart” on this topic.

Completely agree!

And I had to pipe in to say I've had similar problems with mechanics -- though not as brazen as spray painting old parts, but frequent cases of being over-charged for things that weren't fixed, not honoring warranties for things that weren't fixed, and generally having a car that ... wasn't fixed.

Like my psychotherapist, I found an amazing car mechanic. He's made a mistake or two over the years, but every single time it happened, he resolved it beyond my satisfaction. Honestly, kind of worried about how old the guy is getting who owns the shop and hoping he leaves it to someone with the same high ethical standards.

Most of my bad experiences with therapists were simply people that couldn't relate to my circumstances in a manner that they could provide advice/actions that I could use rather than people doing actual harm, but I could see that as a possibility if I had stayed for too long.
a) all-in-one is often a compromise, e.g. people might like a a relatively plain Linux or BSD to do routing - best on "boring" hardware, but you don't get the best WiFi performance on such hardware. Whereas APs/integrated routers don't necessarily run such OSes best, have driver issues for newest standards etc.

b) incoming internet connection is often in a corner somewhere. Best position for an AP is elsewhere. If that's a problem depends on how you get internet and what the place looks like.

I was using that as a figure of speech. I couldn’t tell you exactly how many times I’ve rented a car, however it is quite a lot. Between two different periods of my life I spent nearly a decade constantly traveling, so if I had actually rented cars a thousand times I would not be surprised. It is certainly many hundreds of times.
