[3:15:29] Outro.

Dropping in something in case anyone from LTT reads this: the point of the Texas and other Republican state laws is not to make this work. You're assuming good faith that absolutely, positively, completely does not exist. The point of Republican state laws about this is twofold. 1: To let them ban content they dislike by declaring it "not safe" for children, something _they have said themselves they want to do_, particularly regarding LGBT people, and 2: to drive as much of such actual content as is overtly targeted by such laws offline. They want it to be completely censored and illegal, but they don't have that kind of power yet, so this is a "for the children" workaround.

There is no good faith in Republican social engineering, and you have to recognise that if you want to make cogent analyses about the intent of their laws.

7:38 Ah yes, remember when games used to ship with the dedicated server?

Not playing games myself, but still the changing of the word "buying" made me support the petition.

We went from products from Mercedes and Miele who supplied repair parts for 50 years for their products to stuff that after 4 years is unusable is just stupid.

If you think the kit planes are cool check out xyla foxlin's series where she's making her own plane from scratch out of wood from ~100 year old plans

27:38 What do you mean "when the rubber hits the road" doesn't work well because it's F1????? It was PERFECT! It's F1, the sport where RUBBER tires literally hits the road

I am once again asking you to turn up the volume on the intro music 🙂

Hey, how are you broadcasting on the day we ditched the Monarchy? I guess you don't celebrate 😂

23:45

I have been an Android user for all my life, my current phone is dying and I need to replace it after 5 years of heavy use.
Recent changes from Google to YouTube, Maps, the Timeline, how the find my device launch was botched and google home made me SERIOUSLY consider getting the next IPhone instead of the Pixel 10.

One of the arguments I made to myself was that the higher cost of the devices would hopefully mean that they don't sell as much data, even though I know they collect just as much if not more.

This single segment at 23:45 about the ad in a fucking WALLET APP has cemented my choice to stay with android and go with a custom OS instead.

My favorite example of a community saving a completely dead game is Star Wars Galaxies. I played it when I was younger, and I was super sad when the servers shut down. I don't believe SOE did anything to help the community in setting it back up, but there are several groups who now run private servers. The cool thing is that some of them do the old version of the game, sort of like WoW Classic, and actually built it from the ground up, to my knowledge, while others utilized the existing code to run a version of the game in its final state before server shutdown, so people who still enjoy the game can play their favorite version. Some of the private servers are actually really well supported, too, which brings me a lot of joy, since I can drop in and enjoy a little nostalgia trip. I appreciate the highlight of this discussion on WAN, since its such a constant topic these days with games, beloved and otherwise, going away with communities left to fend for themselves to continue enjoying their games. I'm not in the EU, but I fully support the petitioners in making their plea to improve games for all of us and allow communities the opportunity to maintain the games we pay for.

This is the first I’m hearing about the ticket discounts being sent through the wallet app, good thing I have notifications off haha 🤣

The reason all these LEDs are so damn blue is because blue is high in energy so the conversion to broad spectrum is much more efficient. So either have blue light or inefficient LEDs pick one (and a bad CRI). You could instead go UV and convert back into the visible spectrum from there. Problem is the conversion isn't exactly 100% either so the losses are higher compared to blue (because your initial emissions now has 0% visible light) and you have all the problems with UV leakage which trips up plants and animals.

gog ftw yes?

For the internet in Australia question, Linus' answer is just part of the answer – the other part is way more technical, but it boils down to the fact that Australia is far away and that affects how network protocols work. Basically, the higher the round trip time, the lower the maximum theoretical bandwidth limit is.
As far as solutions, there aren't many:
– if you can, use tools/protocols that can use multiple connections – while a single connection is limited by that theoretical limit, nothing prevents you from using multiple connections to get a higher aggregate speed. Torrents and "downloaders" that support multiple connections help here.
– Use local services when possible (I know, not feasible for a bunch of things)
– Low Earth Orbit satellite services should have lower latency and higher theoretical speeds, but they have their own limitations.
– become a physics genius and find how to break the speed of light.

Just reporting 1 commercial every 3 min, this is not for me…sorry

You got a bit stuck on idea of perpetual sellability, which is not about SKG at all. The music for example is already on your computer. SKG just advocates that you can actually run this what you already have.

Thank you so much for saving my political career ! I'll forever be grateful to you ! I really want to bring back the humanitarian purpose of the tech industry for every human being in this world to achieve their full potential.

the music license take is meh… games should not have time limited licensing on music. once its purchased for use in a project. it belongs to the project. That would be like taking music from movies after 10 years.

The legislation for Stop Killing Games would probably be some form of anti-false-advertising. Basically, you sold the game promising a certain experience, so the company would have to enable the community to still engage in that original promised experience.

Good to see forged alliance getting so much love. It's such a sick game, and there's been almost nothing like it since.

Phantasy star online is still online through private servers. Every game that have enough fans can be saved.

re: kit airplane, I think we need a colab with @xylafoxlin
