Yes, exactly this ^

While I can appreciate the ADS-B bit, it seems clear that the change to public registration would still negatively affect tracking.

The FAA is changing the rule which makes this information public. The FAA is fully controlled by the rich.

I said it matters: “the difference is obvious”.

But for me, it does not justify the cost difference at the current time.

It does matter. But all my big displays are still LCD, because of cost.

It’s about blackpoint. With an LED, pixels which are black still have a backlight. This makes them a kind of grey.

With OLED, the pixels themselves emit light. This means that black pixels are unlit.

The difference is obvious in a dimly lit room looking at dark content.

That said, while I would love OLEDs all around, they’re expensive. I’m willing to give up having true blacks for the cost difference. It may be different as costs on OLED come down.

I do have an OLED phone, because Samsung is pumping out OLEDs on everything.

Wasn’t blockchain the griffty buzzword years ago? We have all new grifts now

It made money, though.

The industry has become completely adverse to risk.

It’s all rehashed slop until the end of time.

Won’t matter.

Laws only apply to those with less than a billion dollars.

Yes. Avenues exist. But money is corrupting.

I tried giving you an opportunity, but I’m going to block you now.

I really don’t even know what this means.

I wish the best for you.

Your problem is that you want to censor ideas you don’t like.

This is a natural result of media controlled by corporate interests. It’s also a misunderstanding of “free speech” – even when you are free to say what you will, it does not mean you are free from the consequences of that speech.

You want to control what other people think by dictating what they get to see and what they’re allowed to share with others.

Again, I suggest looking into how propaganda works. Letting everyone speak about anything (without vetting of topic, qualifications, or direction) has consequences. We are seeing those consequences now and will continue to see more as the propaganda machine runs wild on the back of “let everyone speak”.

Your view of this is overly simplistic and I am, in the most polite way, attempting to direct you to self improvement. It is a common issue at the moment across all discourse – probably vestigial of the information sharing capabilities now available.

It’s right there in the TOS! /s

I recommend you take strides to learn how propaganda works, most specifically the purpose of shifting opinion (i.e. the Overton Window): “I’m just asking questions” and “I’ll let anyone speak” are two of the most effective methods of propaganda. It does not need to be intentional on the part of the interviewer.

“Don’t Be Evil”

(I know this hasn’t been the Google motto in years – when it stopped was one of the biggest corporate red flags)

Almost everything you ingest from day to day on your PC, in terms of multimedia content, is compressed.

File compression is a necessity, as it makes transmission of such media over the internet much more teneble. But uncompressed video carries a lot more information – not necessarily all useful information, but it is there.

I’m not sure why any of this is surprising. The US was perfectly fine letting China manufacture all the things. That manufacturing know-how leads to design know-how. The desire by US corporations to keep wages low or eliminate US labor entirely to use outsourced manufacturing leads to this.

It isn’t just military hardware: it is products across entire industries. China is producing good ones, and even when they aren’t, they’re producing them at volumes the US could not dream of touching.

Happens to me all the time on a VPN.

It isn’t every IP. I just change tunnels.

I can’t imagine a better result.

Whew, that’s gonna open up a lot or capital so these companies can finally pay other employees fair wages. Right?.. Right?!
