Man, this just leaves out all the other systems they use for planes and ships to supplement and act as a redundancy for GPS.

I’m not saying that this is t a good idea. But the headline is bunk.

Would you like to see the picture of how I found it?

Tumblr still exists…

I like this idea for a lot of reasons. The inclement weather one I see in the comments is definitely one of them.

But it also puts me in mind of some of the clever ways I’ve seen posts and reflectors used to give the impression (when say you’re driving at night and only see them out of the corner of your eye) of a person standing there, until you look at them properly and then they look exactly like what they are.

There’s one in particular in a neighborhood where I used to live that to this day if I drive by it, my hindbrain says “HUMAN” and I really don’t understand why because the post looks nothing like a human when I look at it properly. It’s magic.

Yeah. I wasn’t sure it would work for your use case necessarily, but I did remember seeing that a version of the Walmart onn box was available in Europe, so I didn’t want to discount it altogether.

Either way I do hope you find what you’re looking for and if I come across suggestions that might work I’ll try to post them here.

Possibly? I don’t know for sure because I can’t find a store front selling it, but it does appear that these devices are region locked and that there are people in Asian countries sharing ways to end around the region lock.

No. It looks like it has a different name.

I think that data includes the prices for RAM, and the price point they’re hoping to sell it at. I don’t mind the idea of buying this to literally just put in my entertainment center. I wouldn’t even mind upgrading the RAM when it eventually comes down in price or I can save up for it.

But since I already have a steam deck equivalent handheld running Bazzite, I also already have a lot of the peripherals I’d want in order to make this useful for streaming or other services, so it’s not a huge barrier to entry for me. The form factor is what I’m looking for too. Without all the stupid LED’s and BS.

To be fair, I believe that’s the “Walmart” one op talks about in the post. I believe they do sell a version of this same set top box in the UK and possibly other parts of Europe. So it may be a viable option still.

Probably because when you shut down the fucking government, and stop paying people, a lot of people suddenly become unemployed.

Paywalled.

Yes. But the Trump administration (and their actions) are highlighting the danger for some people who have been completely ignoring this as a problem.

How will the websites know to respect the users preference for six months?

This is a threat. They know that they’re using the stock market to fund their greed and that anyone with savings tied up there (Retirement funds that are invested in the market) will be on the hook. Plus the tax payer money they’re going to ask for because they’re “too big to fail”.

Well. I would have been interested in donating canned goods for charity, but not like this. This is a terrible idea.

Ford also can’t keep the ones they already have, so that’s a thing.

Probably.

Did something. All my personal computers are on Linux. But my work laptop? Still windows. Even finally got the upgrade to windows 11. And I hate it. So yes. I’m going to complain.

Sigh. Getting real tired of windows 11 doing BS in the background that presents a security risk.

Nobody asked for this Microsoft.

Your vacuum doesn’t go under furniture more than likely so to clean under there you quit being a janitor to become a furniture mover?

I guess it’s turtles all the way down.
