No longer writing assembly code and burning EPROM for stuff regular folks never buy. That life has been replaced with consumer rights issues; copy protection, copyright, DVD backup and helping folks understand the DMCA.
Have read:
Title 17 Circular 92 Chapter 1 (including Chapter 1 Endnotes)
Title 17 Circular 92 Chapter 12 (popular name; Section 1201(a)
DMCA read but resistance is futile is the best summary of that thing.
Machines:
I don't iPhone I Gphone.
Mac user, no Microsoft machine running currently - The coffee maker stand is win98 on a 20MB drive. The PDP-11/34 is unplugged but the excellent power conditioner (30amp max draw) is where iMac G4 and stuff gets juice.
I have not tossed NEC Multisync CRT attached to M$ Win98 box. I consider that computer a grave stone.
Enter "Flat Screen" - The feds developed measurement, patterns, glare, and paper. I did some testing and the the standards office gave contractor control of all the test rigs,documentation,and computer files.
The LCD, LED screen benchmarks probably stayed with CEA. I have CEA-896-A DVD-Video Test Signals, Standard Method of Measurement for DVD-Video players, December 2002. It was handy until Blu-ray and up -- The don't look under the hood laws.
Sony LCD-HD TV pre 2012 had builtin Blu-ray -- not very good but it still works. Then Sony's POS spec and CS department got my middle finger.
Samsung LED-HD TV got TV room. Better than Sony and my price range. Last of the dumb tv's. When Samsung started their clown car full of stupid specs -- off my list.
LG 4K TV resting in the box will get set up. The 4k streams are "kinda 4k". 4k physical disk player is not here.
The viewing setup in my TV room is best-as-it-gets after sun goes down. Yeah, SW facing big windows.
Homeless - States have no interest in solving that problem. The solution was mandatory hospitalization, mental institutions for some and warehouse style for others.
Who does the collecting? Who does medical workup?
Then there are those who don't want state services up their ass.
COST lots of money states won't allocate. Federal money = zero I would bet. Drug users face prison not medical care.
Thank the war-on-drugs.
All the grandstanding makes me hit the off button. After reading all comments I feel like word count; gun,mental health, and bully.
These shootings are mostly high school males so maybe the public school system is part of the problem. I never went to high school so maybe I see that bit of social failure.
When this shooter was evaluated by a psychologist and found to have problems and then cut lose and never had followup. That is the failure - not guns, social media,games,movies.
How many of the 200,000 are Russian? Nobody is asking that.
In my plan Netflix is top of the cancel list because there is not much I want to watch these days. At one time there were enough shows to justify the cost. Now i am out of the demographic Netflix programs for.
Even the anime is getting lame.
Without more information I'm calling out the con men to watch more Leverage (TV series).
Two years? Those guys collected lots of useful information.
Never-mind.
What triggered making Weed Schedule One on DEA's list?
Correct me if I found the wrong answer. Texas vs Mexicans smoking weed will rape white women. (Ignore the hemp rope industry south of Texas)
Control! There is always the control it or bury it rule.
Forums? Kids are writing PHP now?
There was a CBS broadcast network series called "Person of Interest" that presented the plot that in order to stop terrorist attack before it happens the "Machine" had to be able to sort through the data as a human could. Check it out.
The problem the FBI has is one of scale. False positives. No oversight. And of course the software seeded with wishful thinking and poorly managed politicks.
Luck with this FBI. (My single point of social media, Twitter, is giggling.)
Biden : Everything is Putin's fault.
Biden : Buy an electric car.
Has anyone read about the cost of charging said electric car at home - the electric bill? I haven't.
I think there is a race to the bottom - the social media's ability to attract all sorts of "my every thought is special and no disagreement allowed". /rant
Can you bring back blue in your posts. No hurry.
Took me by surprise seeing WP. Email to see if I was me put me in the correct place and request new passwd got me logged in.
Quick look at my account showed all ok.
I am using obsolete Chrome browser on iMac 10.6.8 osx. amazing it even got login. (Netflix will not work so you guys did good,)
I have routers that work fine even though the ISP keep nagging me to dump them for cloud services - for TV all the so called great features are annoying.
The internet access via ISP box has reduced wired ports, 2 down from 4. WIFI is the way, Comcast for example, ties up all services.
This computer is wired connection, Apple Extreme wired to internal net. And all have web interface, however, Comcast is the least useful because it keeps forcing ISP DNS.
I will fix that someday or all the Comcast boxes will die and new net box replaces DVR box.
This policy thing is as crazy as it gets from a regulate and oversight level.
A buffet of try all players; news broadcast, every hurt feeling in the the "protected class" wants justice, provide the oversight with data that so called "super spreader" is pulled in for shakedown,and other craziness.
At one time nuclear power plants where not astronomical priced to build. How did the anti nuclear plant folks handle that - create NRC and treat every plant construction as "new science" and drown it in red tape - 10 year regulatory dance and cost billions.
Yeah, this paper is just a Facebook and other platforms kill via time tested red tape method.
I have to make the Scientific Wild Ass Guess (SWAG) that all the comments are just what I would expect by some folks who never used pre AOL tools to communicate.
(Me : text browser)
Anyway, what we have now is just apps that can do anything until caught. gov'ments that want their citizens boxed in - USA does it as well as China.
And the opinion that some platforms are the Internet and regulate. SSDD except old boss has lawmakers in their pocket (not new thing).
All the noise is just what thin skin politicians want. Look at where all the activist groups are - attached to government or fringe market - No accident that all the green energy BS is about finance not testable science.
What the internet is now is all about finance in markets. The new boss is the old boss in a pretty wrapper.
I'm seeing daylight --/rant
The "Lawn" is probably a grass that browns into straw. Fire hazard? Maybe, don't plant grass (the highways are seeded with grasses that are not natural to local environment for example) and lawn is the same.
For reasons, city hall just sends mowing crew which must have PD backup.
Can HOA enforcement civil suit.
SWAT team - Not tv show -- center mass trained.
The problem is there was who cares attitude at city hall.
I'm running out of trustworthly retail TV manufactures

I love placeholder dates. Wonder why date was not set to submit date. Is wirdpress funny that way?

Netflix cuts off Russia

No word on quality of ID and Badge
Without more information I'm calling out the con men to watch more Leverage (TV series). Two years? Those guys collected lots of useful information. Never-mind.
When the secret police are seen taking away your friends what are you going to do when the knock on your door happens?
Hemp Rope
What triggered making Weed Schedule One on DEA's list? Correct me if I found the wrong answer. Texas vs Mexicans smoking weed will rape white women. (Ignore the hemp rope industry south of Texas) Control! There is always the control it or bury it rule. Forums? Kids are writing PHP now?
Science Fiction Only A Few Years Ago
There was a CBS broadcast network series called "Person of Interest" that presented the plot that in order to stop terrorist attack before it happens the "Machine" had to be able to sort through the data as a human could.

Fast forward to March 2022

I said no to cloud and it moved in anyway
I have routers that work fine even though the ISP keep nagging me to dump them for cloud services - for TV all the so called great features are annoying.
The internet access via ISP box has reduced wired ports, 2 down from 4. WIFI is the way, Comcast for example, ties up all services.

How to kill a platform
This policy thing is as crazy as it gets from a regulate and oversight level.
A buffet of try all players; news broadcast, every hurt feeling in the the "protected class" wants justice, provide the oversight with data that so called "super spreader" is pulled in for shakedown,and other craziness.

Not My Problem unless Twitter falls.
Just as I am tryiny to lower ISP bill
Oh this is almost humor because I beed to lower my Comcast bill. And their customer service people are "don't let them cancel" flogged.
WWW is not the internets
I have to make the Scientific Wild Ass Guess (SWAG) that all the comments are just what I would expect by some folks who never used pre AOL tools to communicate.

HOA + Bad civil enforcement = SWAT team solution
