GN very much loves to fuel the fire lol. He usually does it by being More Correct Than You.

Yes, $5 USB HDMI capture cards exist?

That's what I said? The pandemic excuse was IA's reason for doing it at first.

Link to the tech debt aspect? I knew that was the case but want to know specifics.

Also the book lawsuit wasn't over old or new titles, it was loaning them 1:N instead of 1:1 because "pandemic". I didn't think it was a great idea at the time and everything in that lawsuit has pointed towards it just being an outright foolhardy effort. There were on a great path towards expanding digital lending boundaries (by letting any library add their books to the IA's lending circulation) and screwed it all up.

Copy protection for physical media was so rudimentary back then. VHS tapes literally just have a piece of plastic you could break off that acted as copy protection. Everyone had CRT's so no one was a quality freak either, really.

The people who install them.

Phone bans in schools have been going on for 20 years. Yeah we didn't have smart phones back then, but with tactile buttons kids would text each other without even looking at their phone and keeping it in their pocket. Before phones kids were playing snake on their TI-83 when they weren't in math class. At it's core these devices are just a distraction when they're supposed to be paying attention.

Totally agree.

The other aspect here is you can't copyright an observable truth. For instance, sports companies tried to sue other sports companies for scraping their scores feeds but courts ruled you can't copyright the fact Patriots beat the Falcons 35-30, because that's simply what happened. There isn't any proprietary scoring keeping mechanism. Anyone who observed the game also can determine those numbers. It is an observable truth. So maybe that applies to the raw photo. You are simply capturing what happened from that POV at that moment in time. Sure if you do something with that photo, then it may become more than an observable truth.

Oh shit. Who owns your photo if your phone does any amount of software-based manipulation to it? Like making faces look better?? Is this how google claims it can use all of your pixel photos in its AI training?

Source on that tracking 6 skeletons? That's cool.

Xbox 360's were The Original Netflix Machine of that 2008-2012 range. Sure maybe Wii's sold more but they only effectively played Wii Sports and didn't support Full HD. Sure PS3's had blu-ray drives in them but people were beginning to stop caring about physical media. The most popular "game" in terms of hours played on the 360 was the Netflix App.

So because of that, I'm not surprised that casual audience also got a Kinect at some point too. Because of the Netflix app, you always had your 360 plugged into your TV.

Oh man I needed that in the clip for like a dozen interviews a decade ago.

Part all of this BS is sure at twitter if you pull this you might get a decent attrition rate but isn't the federal government known for people never quitting? If they quit, it's quiet quitting coming in every day and doing nothing. Isn't that generally the purpose behind this too? Like...good luck get a real amount of people to quit they are going to hold on for dear life
