How old is Invincible in the TV show? He might qualify as a 20s superhero.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I think VLC still does not have full support for the WebVTT subtitle format.

Wouldn't the argument being made be that those office buildings already exist, whereas the data centers for AI are being built new? So less of a it's not a problem in offices and more of a we know this is bad so lets try to not build more of it?

And yet sometimes even with modern file sharing hosters I can only get 100KByte/s connections.

You had me from the very end.

Correct me if I am wrong, but did this not happen to the music of a bunch of Soviet era composers, that was temporarily free of copyright in the USA and then later had to be put into copyright again after the Cold War ended?

Slightly off topic, but might be useful to you: If you look for BluRay remuxes you can also often find things with multiple audio tracks. Then you can just strip everything unwanted out of the container, which would leave you with the original video and a Spanish dub. Also, since you are looking for specifically Latino Spanish, I would hope this is also released on BluRay releases, or do we have systemic racism to thank for that not being one of the many common audio dubs...

Or maybe just focus your time on politics to make a country in which you are not allowed to fire people illy nilly.

While "taking a picture" is a viable option for personal blogs and such, it does technically break the ToS for most social media sites and also might violate copyright, which is why reputable news sources are left with the, arguably shitty option, of using embedded posts.

This feels like it could be exactly the type of thing that causes the car crash in the pilot episode of the Upload TV series.

This wsa considered in the earlier days of the web, but then intentionally not enforced. HTML was specifically designed to not fall into the same scheme as most programming languages in that it should try to render what it could even if there was a lot going wrong (unlike most programming languages that try to fail fast).

(And before someone comes after me for comparing HTML to programming languages, I am well aware that it is not Turing complete.)

Just for the uninformed, i.e. me, what is the advantage of reclaiming these domain names? I would assume that they can somewhat be considered tainted in terms of the piracy world now anyways, and getting new domain names should be fairly easy as well, shouldn't it?

 

On MacOS (but to my knowledge also on other platforms) Proton VPN provides an allow LAN connections option in the settings which enables the machine to access other devices on the local network (printers, smartphone, TV, etc.) even when the VPN connection is running.

My questions are as follows:

  • Does allowing LAN connections make the VPN connection less secure in any way?
  • If not, is there any reason as to why Proton VPN defaults to leaving this turned off?

I am aware that there is apparently an issue with the Kill Switch and the Allow LAN Connections options being mutually exclusive, but I was wondering whether there is more to it than that.

 

I am happy that I can love my wife and my children dearly. However, the flipside of this is whenever any of them show any signs of getting sick I get extremely worried. I simply do not want anything bad to happen to them, and am worried to go to a doctor too late. My gut instinct is to go to the emergency room for every small issue, but I consciousely understand that this is not a logical response.

Do any of you have suggestions on how I can figure out what an appropriate response to different types of sickness symptoms would be?
