The content is VBR, but this article is about how they VARY the VBR stream you get. This technology is barely ONE decade old ;-)

That said, unless you’re the pickiest of audiophiles, the new audio bitrates are pretty good, and they won’t result in higher bandwidth requirements or more data usage, either. [. . .] uninterrupted streaming at the highest bitrates would add little more than half a megabit per second to Netflix’s total bandwidth…

That’s right. The only digital version of the original cuts came with the special edition DVDs. Laserdisc is analog, anyway ;-)

This is a great tip! And there’s a Safari version.

You fundamentally misunderstand. It’s no skin off my nose if you make crack jokes. But you reveal yourself and what you think of others when you take their suffering for a joke.

How would you feel if it was called, “My homeworld exploded pie”?

Thank you for sharing your point of view.

Not material. You have more demand than supply of a public good. What do you do? I guess YOU do nothing and hope for the best ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Because street parking is a limited resource with more demand than supply. Therefore the price goes up to reach equilibrium.

I’m not a doctor.

The problem with all of these boxes is that they’re single vendor.

Not a chance. By a weird coincidence, I just built something functionally identical to this. (For real, two joysicks, 12 action buttons, and a few accessory buttons in a single box with a Raspberry Pi in it.)

Ha! I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve done that ;-)

This is an excellent point.

Is it fair to assume that you were equally up in arms when Donald Trump claimed to have seen Muslims celebrating on rooftops on 9/11?

Can you elaborate on where you’re placing the blame?

If touchless is superior, why is the expert in the video using brushes and cloths?

David, why are you going around I-70 through Colorado? When you break down in the mountains you will have a LOT more options on I-70. I mean, that route looks DESIGNED to get you stranded in the mountains!

My curiosity overwhelmed my reluctance to type repugnant shit into google. Seems like it’s the Romanian “Iron Guard” symbol.

Can’t watch now, but the opening shot looks truly horrifying!
