Ebooks are awesome.

It also seems low for crossing mountains.

The current tech-related usage was coined at MIT to mean working on a system. Funny that the oldest recorded source comes from MIT model railroad team.

Ah, but that’s why US Big Tech is splooshing cash all over President Felon and hoping he saves them from evil communist European consumer protections.

Switzerland doesn’t have the same sheet weight Brazil has.

And it probably doesn’t wants to ruffle big US tech companies with so many having their big European HQs in Zurich.

There are some much nicer more modern ones for those not into the post-Soviet-Republic esthetic. The super-long articulated trolley buses are fun.

Some trains. In most of Europe, trains are electric and get their power from overhead lines (same for trams and even some buses).

On the other hand, many large ships are diesel-electric. And those gigantic mining haulers as well.

Co-written by the guy who tried to sell the US military the concept of “rods from god” (orbital kinetic weapon). I wouldn’t expect anything less.

Read “Footfall” for a hard scifi story featuring such a ship.

It’s way more effective to collect the solar energy from a station to charge batteries than to cary the whole thing around unless your car is a drone on some remote planet

And and with the crappy FLIR resolution announced, that buck will look nothing like in the marketing material.

In Switzerland it technically is legal. Only hosting for others is illegal.

Ha, didn’t think the battery would be easily changed, good to know. I don’t have it anymore, sold it cheap second-hand.

That’s so wasteful. And I dragged my old Sony reader for like 7 years and then even handed it down until the battery just wouldn’t hold a charge anymore. In 14 years I’m my second reader and feel the Kobo I’ve got is perfectly fine.

Ah, didn’t notice the two. There was a short period the subtitles on Plex had the warning the API was going to change backed into them.

And Plex’s on-demand subtitle download.

I was OK with the ads. Just a message before the dialogue and a message after the movie dialogue was over.

But paying for subs? Good luck.

No no, I can read the audience. He can get a pre-built NAS from the likes of Synology or QNAS with a nifty simplified web interface. They are very low maintenance and there are detailed, step-by-step guides to turn them into streaming monsters.

Can you get better hardware for less money? If you go the DIY route without a doubt. But sometimes you want a box with a bunch of drives to store your movies and serve them without a hassle and you can buy that.

My only complaint is Synology skimps too much on the RAM.

Unless you’re running a full network setup like Linus

I’m not sure I understand what that means but yes, a NAS is not indispensable, but it’s a great convenience. Pre-NAS that’s how I rolled until I didn’t want to have to run my full-powered gaming PC all the time.

I got that but wondered if he knew what an NAS can be. It doesn’t need to be complicated but you are right: he can just add a bunch of HDDs to his current PC and install the necessary server apps. But I doubt someone who doesn’t want to bother with an added NAS has a PC that can host a bunch of extra SATA drives.
