The path to sailing the 7 seas under the Jolly Roger is well marked

“Officially, of course, I have no opinion.”

Xbian is like this too, for Raspberry Pi SBC’s. Kodi keeps getting faster, smoother, more stable, better…all the good things. And it’s brilliant if you still have a non-smart tv and are inclined to sail the open seas flying a Jolly Roger.

Costco has no ads for the time being, and I can’t see it going with ads because they can only slow the sale of gasoline that people already line up for after paying to access the ability to buy it.

I’m loving that we are finally embracing energy abundance, or looking at starting to embrace it, and to switch over from hydrocarbon usage in favour of electricity. Tesla would be proud.

Most welcome. Sorry it took me so long

Iirc for the tv remote to work all you need to do is make sure your CEC options are correct in settings. I use an app on my phone - easier to type searches in.

Buy the software. I tried the crack for a while at first too, but then I realized the problems I was encountering were directly related to the crack. (This is a number of releases ago) Back in the day they would ship you the DVR to install. Now I think steam is the only way.

How? Where? Pls explain…

Alarmist, inflammatory, clickbait or truth? I always have to wonder if back doors are already built-in to be exploited or whether the NSA has a burden of proof to establish why it needs access like this. But what troubles me more is if this creeps beyond the US’ borders and the 5-7-14-20+ Eyes countries will follow suit (or have already implemented their own versions)?

Stand up sit down fight fight fight

Can Russia afford to defend its western front in Ukraine AND try to attack the US through Iran via Israel? What’s going to happen with the US when China cranks things up in Taiwan?

These are the forces in play here from where I sit. Where in this world these plays are happening is irrelevant, because it’s the good ol’ free capitalist vs commies game still happening because economics and distraction from troubles at home.

Using any of the so-called “Magnificent 7” puts you “on the radar,” so no, there’s no point avoiding WhatsApp if you’re already Meta’d up with Insta.

How does this affect users of Brave browser, and is it the same mitigation?

These guys are going to make a killing when they’re bought by Amazon and FedEx and UPS etc after the war.

And if you’re not using a desktop, get an adapter that connects with a power supply to electrical mains power

Xbian on my 4Gb Pi4 running the 64bit bookworm is wonderful.

I’m so sorry, but I don’t much care. I stopped paying attention to all the political fiddling when Rome started to burn during the “walking humidor” scandal decades ago. Things just keep getting torn down and added to the dumpster fire. Out with the old and in with the new world power, I say.
