Just them. I wasn’t really arguing for or against subsidies though, just the absurdity of it being called out so often when Tesla et al got subsidised too. You can split hairs all you like on the nature of those subsidies, but they absolutely did get them. They also didn’t have to give up a share of the company to get them, unlike all the Chinese automakers, but again that’s another complex issue.

Not at release. It came later though for certain chipsets.

Nope. Buyer and sell side. Federal interest free loan, state business tax credits etc - they got 200 million pounds in grants in the UK alone. Buyer side was on top. Hell they lied about sales in Canada to try and claw in undeserved subsidies before the programme closed.

Always amused at the “Subsidised” cracks with the Chinese automakers like Tesla wasn’t subsidised up the wazoo. It’s like the only crime is passing on the saving. Not saying you are doing that here, but it’s odd it comes up so much.

Huh. See a police car around here and it’s “ey-up, they’ve found you.”

But I see you. Since kids I have found any phrase that is a song title (or key refrain) gets sung back to them just to be annoying too. Sometimes said track is immediately played in a vain attempt to not seem crazy.

I ran into something similar recently on a Debian NAS. It was something to do with the power management settings on the drive. Tweaked a couple of settings and the problem so far hasn’t arisen again 2+ months later.

No complaints about Yomu.

More profitable to sell the disease and the cure!

Syncthing can easily be set to retain the last n copies. And you only need one or two to protect against corruption because you aren’t editing a corrupted file. Likewise a lot of the KeepassX clients can snapshot periodically too. Been doing this for years with no issues over Linux/Win/iOS and Android.

They did this with “plays for sure” DRM protected music files too, way, way back. Never bought content of any kind from them after that and then killing Windows LIVE.

Just assume everything from them has a “destroy after” date set in the near future.

When the scores are settled sure, doesn’t mean there’s not mechanisms in any particular country that make this harder. Work two Jobs in the UK without carefully sorting PAYE and one of those will be collected at 40% emergency rates. You get it back eventually, but if you are paying transport, meals and other expenses to attend the second job I can see how it could get close to nothing. You get most of it back later, but that doesn’t help marginalized people trying to earn extra right now.

Have you read the news lately? We’re just training for the next few years.

ALVR isn’t awful. I needed new hardware and bit the bullet knowing I was likely going to lose VR, but with the hardware upgrade, it’s nicer in the new machine (Bazzite, 7900XT) than the old (Win 10, 2080 Super Max Q). Definitely not a drop in replacement yet though.

And I’m saying it’s the same as world. You can drop off the net and play. Private session --> drop connection, play on. Can’t say I’ve ever tried starting it with no network because there’s no way in hell it’s running on the deck, but you could with MHW, so I wouldn’t be surprised if the same rules apply. I will try to remember to check later.

So far, yeah. If it’s like World, eventually there’s a quest that is just too damn hard to carry alone (Extremoth in Vanilla, I’m looking at you), but if you are not a completionist, sure you can be offline and single player for most of the story line. Actually it looks like offline support is slightly better in this one.

I’m not a total solo hunter, but I am 90% of the time, don’t really play with randoms.

It’s a “how the mighty have fallen” kind of thing. They are well into the click-bait farm mentality now - have been for a while.

It’s present on the news sites, but far worse on things where they know they steer opinion and discourse. They used to ensure political parties has coverage inline with their support, but for like 10 years prior to Brexit, they gave Farage and his Jackasses hugely disproportionate coverage - like 20X more than their base. This was at a time when SNP were doing very well and were frequently seen less than the UK independence party. And I don’t recall a single instance of it being pointed out that 10 years of poor interactions with Europe may have been at least partially fuelled by Nidge being our MEP and never turning up. Hell we had veto rights and he was on the fisheries commission. All that shit about fisherman was a problem he made.

Current reporting is heavily spun and they definitely aren’t the worst in the world, but the are also definitely not the bastion of unbiased news I grew up with.

Until relatively recently you could see the deterioration by flipping to the world service, but that’s fallen into line now.

If you have the time to follow independent journalists the problem becomes clearer, if not, look at output from parody news sites - it’s telling that Private Eye and Newsthump manage the criticism that the BBC can’t seem to get too

Go look at the bylinetimes.com front page, grab a random story and compare coverage with the BBC. One of these is crowd funded reporters and the other a national news site with great funding and legal obligations to report in the public interest.

I don’t hate them, they just need to be better.

But the BBC is increasingly unable to accurately report the news, so this finding is no real surprise.

I think it was something to do with COVID stats during the initial outbreak, but yes, yes it was the UK government and their bizarre love affair with stupid tech choices.

Honestly not sure and the kids are firmly ensconced watching at the minute. I tried two or three, but it’s the one with the “normal” Jellyfin icon. I tried infuse and another one, but this one was (for me) the best of the three.

Have a previous gen 4K, and have not encountered any issues with Jellyfin on streaming. There’s a spectacularly annoying bug that you lose your config if the atv is full to capacity - and with kids in the house it means frequent logins are required. The iOS client also seems to lag on features and updates compared to the other clients, but other than that niggle it’s been great.
