I have a 43 inch samsung hospitality tv on the merchant ship I work on and it’s the absolute worst display made since… The brightness is beyond terrible, colors are beyond dull and the speakers have more in common with the nokia 3310 than anything made past 2007.

Don’t bother. Find a decent tv where you can remove the wifi functionality from physically or via software (jailbreaking, service remotes and such).

Also I was in japan and some hotels actually had some decent custom software (eg. "Hospitality) tvs that might be able to be found … Somewhere.

What? The projection matters on any scale and for navigational purposes will continue to use mercator projection on flat maps so there this decision doesn’t change anything.

Hell spin up a consulting company and send invoices for “consulting work” to all the companies with backs he’s been scratching the last decade so they can scratch him back.

I don’t know what a fcc is but if it helps us having good internet I’m all for it. I work on ships and I’ve used starlink on ships in storms and all kinds of bad weather including finding the antenna covered in ice and snow. It’s fantastic. Our old geostationary communication system fails as soon as a passing bird looks at it.

Try dragging fiber to a ship. Starlink is a game changer for the shipping industry and removing it now would be a mess.

Since the domain is bbc.com isn’t that just the original amp-ified version google caches?

I know the url is no indicator on who actually host that particular but I’m not on a computer now so can’t check if they are both actually hosted by bbc.

We live in a society… What makes you think he’d even have a channel if he didn’t need money?

Most of anything exist because people need money for food. Companies, technology, stuff. If people didn’t need money the channel most likely wouldn’t exist since stuff largely wouldn’t exist.

What do you want people to buy food with. Welfare checks lol? Where would they get money to buy stuff for testing. They have an acoustic chamber that’s fairly expensive.

Revenue and professional channels are intimately linked and removing the revenue stream would open them up to bought reviews like heiLTT.

The same can be said about Linköping, most of the town is ugly as hell.

Anyone can get a cheap ais receiver and plot the positions of ships around you quite easily so it doesn’t really make much of a difference.

Burn only the ac units. Would solve the problem and be a help in reducing energy emissions.

Eu is starting to talk about this too now. Where are we all gonna vpn to if the entire world has their own version of locked internet gates?

Is it something they inherently do? No. Is it something they can do?, Of course. Just like anyone evolve over time. Especially when you’re into something just to be edgy.

The downgrade to digital projectors is what killed cinemas for me. It’s just a stuttering blurry mess with a poorly calibrated speaker setup to match.

I’d like to like the cinema but they removed the magic and left the 8$ small popcorn in It’s place.

It’s almost as if linux users are a group of many individuals with different reasonings behind their vastly different goals and priorities and not one homogenous group. Who would have thought?

Why do average users need to use linux. Let them stay in windows if that’s where they are happy. Making linux into a system just as shitty as windows will just replace shit with different shit.

Why does it need to be dumbed down for the average joe?

Why does guis need to be designed for the person not using it? Why not design them for the people using it now and improve them for the actual users of the software instead of the persons NOT using the software?

Thats a stupid idea and that very line of thought is the brainrot that has led to the enshittification of so much the last couple of decades.

The cars will be fun to see unfold considering new EV platforms have them integrated straight into the platform the chassis is built upon.
