If he was forthcoming in his review, it would have been to obvious that it's a breach of the ToS. Workers are not permitted to review apps made by their own company.
I think by the time we reach some future extreme of data density, it will be in a method of storage beyond our current understanding. It will be measured in coordinates or atoms or fractions of a dimension that we nullify.
Traditional pasta was folded up to 100 times because of the impurities in the pasta. It's not necessary with modern materials and mostly done now for ornamental lasagna.
How times have changed. I used to have print outs in my filing cabinet with virus removal guides from all the various times I contracted digitally transmitted diseases online.
They are providing extra service. Using Plex on mobile is now free for everyone, which is a huge step forward. It's not a bad trade off for server owners to require Plex pass for remote viewing (which is only necessary if you're not using a VPN like tailscale for free remote viewing).
I don't get why people are freaking out over a one off fee to unlock something that has running costs for Plex, which itself isn't necessary if you just opt for a free VPN client like tailscale.
OP couldn't comprehend an email, and when everyone tried to reassure them that nothing for them has changed they doubled down. The closest thing to justification I can figure is "all my clients are borderline illiterate as well and it upset them".
How in the world could you be upset that a product you already paid for is not providing that specific feature for free anymore. They've even made the phone software free!
After looking at the list, I get the feeling that most stories if historical intrigue are PT Barnum style hoaxes. Life is much more boring than we were led to believe.
It won't change how you would handle them, you need to treat them all as a risk, but it would reduce accidental detonation after the time limit. Like a kid running over one in 20 years time.
I interpreted it as a stereotype of certain privileged classes of white people that are so out of touch with the struggles of the world that they don't realise how dangerous it is to try this. In fact, I think there has been cases of upper/middle-upper class people who have gone on these kinds of tourism-pilgrimage and have ended up dead.
The ideas have always been there, it's just a bottle neck on cheap electronics and people figuring out the foundation technology. I can't think of to many tech advancements that have surprised me; that's not too say they aren't impressive, but just about anything we can imagine is possible.
The main thing I don't expect to see is useful and reliable brain/electronics interfaces. I think biology is too unique for an of the shelf product to be possible, which means it's too hard to make a profitable product.
It's inappropriate because you're not allowed to review your own companies software, let alone do so without declaring as such.
