It is amazing. I love how easy it is to mount network shares with it too.

We had an older Hitachi tv with 4 HDMI plus component plus RCA input and 4 different options for audio input.

New Samsung TV. 2 HDMI, that's it. One is ARC which is the only audio interface besides TOSLINK so really theres effectively 1 HDMI to use.

But of course all the lovely ~~spyware~~ smart features more than make up for it.

This is the sort of thing that to me highlights the inherent inefficiency of proprietary software and processes.

"Oh sorry, you'll need our magic hardware in order to run this software. It simply can't happen any other way."

Turns out that wasnt true which of course it isn't.

Imagine instead of everyone could have been working together on a fully open graphics compute stack. Sure, optimize it for the hardware you sell, why not, but then it's up to the "best" product instead of the one with the magic software juice.

Selling to Netflix? Psssh. The real money is in is releasing films in cardboard-cased DVDs at truck stops and dollar stores.

I thought my desk was smooth too untill I got a mousepad. It also keeps the little feet on the bottom of the mouse from getting worn out as quickly. The effort to start and stop the mouse seems trivial, until you see just how easy it can truly be with a mousepad.

It also helps keep crap from building up on the mouse skates since the soft mousepad is constantly "sweeping" the bottom of the mouse.

A full desk-size mouse pad.

If you work at a desktop it makes a huge difference to overall ergonomics.

Also the squatty potty. Especially if you have a high toilet.

I tried this and also had no luck. Oh well.

According to Wikipedia.

Tuomey assumed a central role in the ensuing investigations, and, with fellow Aldermen E. Harrison Reed and William Tucker, shielded the dairies and turned the hearings into one-sided exercises designed to make dairy critics and established health authorities look ridiculous, even going to the extent of arguing that swill milk was actually as good or better for children than regular milk.

Ah ~~war~~ politics, politics never changes.

Wow this music player app is simple and does everything it should.

Random Commenter: why won't it play video?

MBA: Why isn't this a subscription service?
