I have a 320GB CECH-25xxB, with evilnat it's a very usable console and can still play games online with no issues and no paid subscription. The stock player can play bdrips over upnp just fine, other than physical media such as CD, DVD, BD and also SACD!!

>The article has little statements sprinkled throughout that are easily used to undermine trust in an election

Of course!? This election was fully digital, no paper ballots, you'd enter and press a button and you preference would be registered. For what it's worth, the entire operation could've been completely faked. There was no transparency at all in the process.

The article would've been completely useless if this machine was a ballot marking device and you could check back that the ballot was correctly marked, but except for a "Thank you for voting" dialog, here there was no proof at all that your vote was registered and counted.

>VotingWorks paper-ballot voting system

I don't understand. Is this a paper-ballot voting system only? Because the idea of this vote was to prevent paper usage and move to digital. The system you mentioned system mainly focuses on counting (and marking?) paper ballots?

Could instantly handle everyone using it, at the sweet sweet price of the money you saved when it scaled to zero and a little bit more.

It's a... mix. I can see all the shapes of the roads and areas i mapped in my area, but they seem not to trust OSM naming so they either have no name or the name TomTom gave to the equivalent street.

I can see most POIs i added with the exact name i gave to them, but the reviews and opening hours are pulled from Tripadvisor.

It's explicitly advertised for driving, not walking, so it's optimized to get you to places. CoMaps and even OSMand are much better for walking around.

And there's a simple reason for the search being so bad in most OSM apps: offline search.

The focus of all these apps seems to be a self-imposed "the app should never touch a server, ever, because what if the user is on a 100$/GB roaming plan in Africa", but indexing the maps is not easy.

I run a local Nominatim database (search engine for OSM) for Italy and it's ~57gb of data and indexes for one country only, and it barely supports fuzzy search.

Partly, with Organic Maps or CoMaps.

However, in my opinion TomTom (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tomtom.spe... or https://apps.apple.com/us/app/tomtom-maps-traffic/id14381065...) is still the best way to use OpenStreetMap for navigation since it combines OSM data with their own real time traffic information without dark patterns or asking for an account like Waze or Maps do.

I love the absolute fever dream that is looking at the pictures of patents. The out of context fig 9 is amazing

Njalla is not ICANN accredited, so they cannot register domains. They buy them and then lease them out to you.

The issue is, now they are the legal owners and liable for the content of the website, and they also support PayPal, which will absolutely drop them the moment they get sanctioned.
