I've been using and reasonably satisfied with A.R.M. https://github.com/automatic-ripping-machine/automatic-ripping-machine

It uses MakeMKV and Handbrake, but streamlines the whole process.

Reminds me of StumbleUpon. An old way of sharing and finding content.

I also think people discount the power of advertising when they think Facebook or Amazon is listening to them. They don't think that maybe why they were talking about xyz was because they saw an ad for it. Then they saw another ad for it after they talked about it and got confused on cause and effect.

I don't see it as a status symbol, although I'm certain that is a huge part of it for a lot of people, but fashion part is right. Cars have design styles, motifs, and trends. I don't know the names for most of them, but I can normally place a car in a 3 year range on sight. Make and model are also often very obvious through those same features, even across a larger number of years, slowly transitioning from one "age' of car design to another. I'm not a car person, but I am, in weird ways, a design nerd.

I really should be able to use fan speed as an input. "Block intake to pickup".

I don't know, but I'm a big fan of cowboy and mafia planets.

Well, in the case of Ender's Game, that was the point. Trick kids into thinking they were playing a game and they wouldn't think twice about being as brutal as necessary to win. So if your goal is to have cars murder people, having people control them with their dreams is a pretty good idea.

I'm not diagreeing with that. Although it could be useful, I often forget where I saved things, and something that let's my search my worn history would be rad, but there's zero chance this won't be abused by a large list of people, including but not limited to Microsoft, spouses, bosses, malware, governments, every random application, Facebook, and Microsoft.

Shadow copy is a completely different thing. Shadow copy creates snapshots(used for version history, among other uses) of files. Recall is a screen recording software, that includes OCR and maybe some AI stuff. At this time, at least, it too is all local. It just isn't secure in the least.

This wouldn't be a tool for wireshark. It could be a tool for the browser dev tools though. With it you can see every time a website tries to make a connection out, what data is submitted, and what the response is. Unfortunately, if you don't understand how http works, it might be all Greek.

Generate images with self hosted models, or integrate it with art programs? Because yes to both.
