Call it a hobby. Having the data from the physical cart brings me joy. Also, I’m looking to rebuild my collection from childhood for when the Analogue3D finally comes out.

If it used the notification display to show your most recent calculation reault, that might be useful. I know some apps mis-use the notification counter for other things.

My uncle who asks which peloton instructors I like informing me that he only picks the hot ones.

Like, you’ve been married to a woman for 30 years. I get it, you’re straight.

There are solutions for this, but they’re a little more abstract. Like some people sit on yoga balls instead of chairs. They force you to keep your muscles engaged all the time lest you fall over.

They even have some designed to be desk chairs. https://www.sithealthier.com/products/classic-balance-ball-chair

There are also sit/stand desks.

I do a lot of my browsing from an iPhone 11. At least twice a day, a page will crash and reload halfway through whatever article I was trying to read. I get it’s a few generations old, but since when do you need state of the art tech to view what should be a static page.

Adding a fun anecdote. I remember someone on Reddit who installed a second charger on their bike. So you could plug into two EVSE at the same time. Not sure what kind of charging speed they got, but I imagine pretty quick.

Thanks for looking

Also unlike modern day streaming, they didn’t have to worry about obtaining the rights to the movies. They could just buy the DVD from any retailer.

So there were no platform exclusives to worry about.

Considering a large portion of cryptography is based around large prime numbers being incredibly hard to find, I find it hard to believe anybody has found a significant pattern in them. That’s kind of the whole point.

Can you link to what you’re talking about?

It was reusable. The idea was basically the current iTunes model (rent for two days or buy forever) except with abstracting the license from the data since internet speeds weren’t fast enough to stream video.

So you’d “buy” or “rent” the license to watch the disc. Once your rental was up, you could give the disc to a friend who could buy or rent it. The idea was to basically use sneakernet to handle the heavy lifting and the internet just for license/DRM purposes.

Considering people today are willing to pay $10 to “own” a movie that’s on some server they will never see, it really wasn’t a terrible idea. Especially since the licenses were stored on the hardware, so your movies would continue to play even if the server shut down. It’s just separating content from rights management is a really abstract concept and they didn’t do a good job explaining it.

I was surprised to learn this when driving by an aluminum refinery adjacent to a hydroelectric dam in Washington State.

It uses so much power that it’s more efficient to move the ore to where the electricity is.
