●● IRC: #techrights @ Techrights IRC Network: Thursday, May 22, 2025 ●● ● May 22 [00:01] IsambardPrince I doubt anyone is going to start making VCRs and tapes again. They're really not meant for the kind of TVs we use now. The collectors bidding up a pile of tapes that happen to have survived all these years have a pile of VCRs they got at thrift stores, and old tube TVs to watch them on. [00:01] IsambardPrince Things today are not really made to be owned. [00:02] IsambardPrince There's a sort of punishment built in for people who insist on actually having a copy. [00:02] IsambardPrince They pay like $30-40 for a disc while the Amazon Prime version is $6.99. [00:03] IsambardPrince They'll probably keep making discs for another 10 years at least, but as less people are buying them, the cost is going to go up because you have to justify the cost of sending those to be pressed. [00:03] IsambardPrince They like to paint streaming as "going green" but it's not. [00:04] IsambardPrince It takes a lot of electricity to stream something to you once, it takes a lot of bandwidth. If you watch it several times, you've emitted more carbon than it would have cost them to put it on a disc. [00:04] IsambardPrince This is part of why they want all these data centers. [00:05] IsambardPrince A disc doesn't use much energy to play. A Blu Ray player uses maybe 5-6 watts. It's a very specialized piece of hardware. [00:05] IsambardPrince All it does is decode video and run the drive. [00:06] IsambardPrince The Blu Ray player probably costs you 0.3-0.4 kWh to play back the average movie. That's about 5 cents. [00:07] IsambardPrince How much energy is used to stream a movie? All those computers tying up resources sending it over to your TV? Don't forget the TV needs a processor to manage the DRM and decode the stream, so a lot of that energy it takes to play a Blu Ray is just extra power being used by the TV or streaming stick. In addition to everything sending it to you over the Internet. [00:08] IsambardPrince You're probably talking a minimum of 10x as much energy being used to stream a movie once, maybe more. [00:09] IsambardPrince So it's roasting the planet, I mean not like "cryptocurrency" but it's still more carbon emissions than are needed. [00:09] IsambardPrince They could get the cost of pressing movie discs down more if they used digipak.

Recall takes snapshots of all the windows on a Windows computer's screen (except the DRM'd media, because the MPAA must have their kilo of flesh) and saves them locally. The local part is good: th [06:07] schestowitz[TR2] e term for software that takes regular screenshots and saves them in the cloud is "part of a remote access trojan". It then OCRs any text in the images, and I believe also transcribes any speech, and saves the resulting output in an unencrypted SQLite database stored in: [06:07] schestowitz[TR2] C:\Users\$USER\AppData\Local\CoreAIPlatform.00\UKP{GUID} [06:07] schestowitz[TR2] " [06:08] IsambardPrince "Researcher Kevin Beaumont performed his own deep-dive analysis that also found that some of the new controls were lacking.

It took until the xbox 360 s to work through them and by then the console was already years old.

[07:19] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2], The Japanese actually have very high import tariffs, especially on rice. [07:20] IsambardPrince The locals are starting to realize though, that even with the tariffs, US rice imports are cheaper and you can make sushi with the stuff. All kinds of things. So we're selling a lot of rice to Japan. [07:20] IsambardPrince I think it's reasonable for Trump to demand that they end the rice tariffs and some other stuff to get tariff-free imports into the US. [07:21] IsambardPrince The US doesn't produce and export enough to destroy the domestic rice market in Japan. [07:21] IsambardPrince But the local producers will have to accept that they're not going to enjoy the fat profit margins from protectionism. [07:21] IsambardPrince The rice market in Japan is pretty tight. [07:22] IsambardPrince They've gone years since they even could produce enough domestically. [07:22] IsambardPrince They're at like 70% of demand, so these tariffs do bring in revenues, but there's room for more imports.
