You are looking at this with a bias of “too much fishing is bad”, but this could also be looked at as a boat will need to spend less time in the water to reach their quota which means less pollution in the ocean and less harmful noise exposure to underwater life.

Technology is neutral, how’s it’s used is ethics.

Do you have any tips for writing professional documentation? I want to do some for my workplace but it’s hard to know where to start, how to arrange it, etc

What are the chances that Crowdstrike started using ai to do their update deployments, and they just won’t admit it?

That’s kind of why they are successful though, right? They were the ones that figured out how to supply games digitally for a profit, which required a way to prevent people from sharing the product for free. This was previously done with CD keys, but the advent of the internet rendered that mostly ineffective.

Going through a scalper means that the ticket supply is artificially decreased, which pumps up the price. Then you run the risk of your ticket not working when you turn up to the venue.

You’d rather have 2 middle men for your ticket purchase?

“many moons ago, when the sun was low in the sky…”

We call eastern coast time AEST

Then you need a more powerful PC. What do you mean a more powerful monitor? I don’t even understand what that means.

What do you mean “powerful monitor”. It just needs to display a picture.

You can move it back to the left, but I agree that MS seem to be trying to make it look like iOS for some reason

Paprika. I haven’t used anything else aside from having a folder of word documents.

Paprika allows you to copy/paste the URL of a recipe and it will download only the recipe. No more scrolling through a blog and a dozen ads looking for what you want. You can then create categories and tag recipes for any combination of categories.

It also has extra functions like meal planners, pantry inventory, and shopping list generators based on the meal plan and pantry, but I don’t use those.

It syncs between devices. The only real downside is you must purchase per platform type. If you bought the windows licence and you want it on your phone you must separately purchase the Android licence.

“what are you trying to tell me? I’ll be able to select ‘yes’ when it asks me if I’m sure I want to delete?”

“No, Neo. I’m saying when you switch to Linux you won’t have to.”

How does your music server work?

It’s only graffiti of it’s unwanted. Otherwise it’s art.

I don’t know if this Banksy person gets permission first, and the impromptu appearance is just theatre, but the council wants to have at from a celebrated artist.

If you’re not a celebrated artist a better approach might be getting permission first.

I did the whole Stargate franchise, including Infinity.

My advice is to do what I did. Rip the discs to your hard drive to remove the cd rom as a speed bottleneck. Then start doing tests at different bit rates until you are happy with the quality:size ratio. From season 4 onwards there’s audio commentaries that are worth keeping, so don’t forget to include that audio track as well as any language and subtitles you’d like to keep.

Good luck, have fun. It took me ages to work through it in my free time, but I’m glad I did. Also, from season 8 onwards, there are HD versions of SG-1 that were never released on home video that you may as well find a download of.

Depends on how you watched it. The DVDs that were being released were in 16:9. Depending on what country you were in, the DVDs sometimes came out before the later seasons were aired on a channel you could access, if at all.

The fact that other series can be re-released in HD is due the fact they are filmed on actual film, which was the point I was making clear.

SG-1 was meant to be seen in 16:9

SG1 was shot in film and mastered in 16:9. 16mm in the first 3 seasons, 35mm 3-7, and then they moved to digital HD cameras season 8 onwards.

Many shows from the 90s were [edit: shot on film]. That’s why you can get a widescreen HD release of Seinfeld, among others.

You are suggesting that piracy eventually leads to profit. That’s not a definition of piracy.

I am saying piracy is obtaining a digital product in an unauthorised manner to avoid paying for the product.

I am ambivalent to piracy. I think it’s a common factor and it is up to content producers to combat it. I am familiar with the studies you’ve linked, but that’s not the topic I’m discussing.
