HP can go fuck themselves

Imagine hosting an event so lame that it makes international news solely because of how incredibly lame it was. Just damn.

You can pirate media that uses that new blu ray drm by plugging a capture card into the overpriced compatible DVD player and recording the video. Also, it’s a way to transfer saved content from a dvr as their hard drives are always encrypted (do those still exist). The video stream on all this stuff is encrypted with hdcp to prevent this but there exist hdcp strippers. It seems to still be possible to buy them even on Amazon. Stock up before they get banned. Frankly I’m surprised they aren’t banned already.

I hope they actually end up calling it the Very Big Disc ™

The only disadvantage of display port that I can think of is that it’s harder to find capture devices (or at least Linux compatible ones) that have display port. Generally no one cares about that stuff though. I use capture cards because I sometimes do stuff involving other computers and it’s 1000 times more convenient to have a vlc window floating around with the display output.

No one seems to have this use case besides me, I’m just glad that there exist capture cards fast enough to do playback in real-time and not a 5 second delay. I don’t stream.

The soil where I live is only good enough for 5.25in floppy plants to grow.

I was just joking kind of. I am a struggling computer engineering student always looking for ways to use my skills to earn a little extra income. What type of system compatibility would you need? Arduino compatible serial? Vintage AT motherboards? Some other thing like maybe a commander x16? If people really would be willing to buy homebrew graphics cards like that maybe I’ll look into it.

Huh, I thought you were supposed to use -sri. I hate dealing with the AUR, that stuff doesn’t work half the time. I’m sure there are reasons for making it annoying like that but I haven’t really put much thought into it before. I’d like to think making the AUR a pain in the ass makes things less likely to break, and hopefully that’s not just because you’re less likely to install AUR packages.

Other than volunteering to help your farmer neighbor butcher his animals, what’s the next cheapest way to get meat?

Uuh I was planning on scamming people by making low quality anvils but this works too.

You can also make copies of Ben Eater’s “world’s worst video card”, put it on a pcb with an isa slot and wait for goobers to buy them on ebay. As long as it can actually output video you don’t have to accept returns.

Wow. I know what I’m watching tonight

Oh shit now Elon is going to try to buy all of Linux.

Gimp is so good. I don’t even remember how to use photoshop anymore.

Something something military industrial complex

If I were offered $75k to have 1 kid, I’d still have to turn it down.

Best I can do is make an elf that mostly works and the memory manager seems pretty solid but the second you start doing stuff with strings, it fucks all up and I never figured out that bug after months so it is what it is. If you want to print a string you have to drop into real mode first.
