  • Hey I've seen this one, it's a classic!

  • Flashback to the 970 debacle

  • I'm thinking of getting metal legs. It's a risky operation but it'll be worth it.

  • I'm betting that this is HP going to their investors to say "Look, we're doing the AI!"

  • Yup, already done that and a few instructor based courses!

  • We've definitely changed our tune slightly on guns and bought a few since November. You know, because of the implication.

  • I'm gonna download it even harder.

  • Back when I got off in 2019, there was a tool (Facebook sponsored somewhere in the settings) that allowed you to save everything in an offline HTML file that you could host locally and get access to things like picture albums, complete with descriptions and comments. Not sure if it still exists, but it made the process incredibly painless getting off while still retaining things like pictures.

  • Looking at the map, assuming these models aren't for sale in Poland, Czech and so forth?

  • I really regret recycling my 32 inch Trinitron back in the mid-2000's...

  • My wife does this to our books and it drives me nuts.

    • "Where's The Art of War?"
    • "It's in the black section"

    One year her mom and I reordered them by author last name while she was away on a work trip. Took her 5 seconds upon returning home to notice it was different and she was furious.

  • Let me Google that for you

  • At a previous company, we would tag tickets in Zendesk based on the type of question it was so at the end of the year we could see which categories could use more explanation in our documentation. One of the category types was "LMGTFY"

  • So I'm still using Windows on my desktop, but from my experience with Proton on Steam Deck, Proton works pretty flawlessly essentially translating the windows exe. I'm assuming it's the same for a Linux desktop setup but I'll let others who actually have experience here comment further. The only thing that you may have issues with are competitive online games, but those aren't really my jam but understandable if they are for you.

  • You are correct, which goes into the cost category of doing a stream stitched integration. Also, when I left said ad server in 2016, I think I recall HLS streaming primarily supported by Apple devices. Devices like Roku's (don't quote me on that) didn't support it at the time so a lot of companies looked at where the majority of their streaming was occurring and decided it wasn't worth the hit.

  • The HLS integration we offered definitely had a premium attached to it as well as an additional cost to the CDN that required the integration to live on. So it's not cheap.

    It is weird that Google, with it's infinite pockets, hasn't pushed a stream stitched solution all these years until recently.

  • You can still do dynamic ad serving in a stream stitched integration. It's just that the content and the ads are being served by the same CDN, hence why you can't block the ads without also blocking the content. In the manifest file there are m3u8 chucks, the file is essentially broken up into 5/10 second chunks, and when the video segment chunk is coming to an ad break, it stitches in dynamically an ad m3u8 chunk that the ad server dynamically selects based on the ads they currently have trafficked in their system.
