• HDCP had flaws and keys up to version 2.1 were extracted/reversed. In addition to that there is hdfury device that legally and following HDCP licencing terms downgraded 2.2 to lower 2.x versions to provide compatibility. They got smarter and blocked downgrading in later versions. Blocking HDCP older than that would also break compatibility with devices that don’t support versions of the standard newer than late 2012. Add a capture card and you are set.
• Widevine L1 keys were extracted from a Qualcomm CPU in 2021. They are also stored in Intel CPUs in SGX which had so many flaws over the years I’d be surprised nobody grabbed keys at some point
• Both audio and video has to be decrypted and analog at some point - you can capture it if you have the hardware and willingness to e.g. grab it at a LCD display ribbon. Not as good/convenient as decrypting it, but it is an option.

They sold the business to Asus and they are releasing new NUCs

Peak power can only be maintained for a minute (if you are lucky) before it overheats. Peak power is the main advertised spec, so it has to be high and default mode so you don’t feel cheated when you turn it on for the first time. The other modes you toggle through are settings that can be sustained for extended periods of time.

I’d pay $10 to forget facial animations of the original one.

You should connect remotely from a country with a better climate, preferably with a beach bar as the background.

If complimented on the background order a cocktail while staring at the camera to prove it’s an actual beach bar and that you can

Heh, I assumed you were talking about young children and your response suggests adults. In that case I’d say it’s even easier - they already live their own lives and you have more flexibility to live yours the way you like and where you like. Travel is always a pain, but the bigger deal the trip is the more meaningful the visit.

Take them with you, especially if the move is a quality of life upgrade.

I’m not going to touch immigration, work permits etc, because it varies greatly - I’m assuming you figure it out. For skilled workers with work experience there usually is a fairly painless way to get all you need.

Continuing to work:

• your employer has to have presence in the country you are moving to, or
• they have to handle your employment through an intermediary, like deel.com, or
• you have to transition to independent contractor (potentially legally dicey if you are a contractor in name only)
• if your company doesn’t support fully async work don’t move more than 8 time zones away - that way you’ll still be able to join some meetings

Moving is the simplest part:

• Lightweight & cheap option: pack a backpack/suitcase like you were going on long vacation. Buy plane tickets. Rent Airbnb at the location for a week and use that week to rent a place to live. This option is similar in cost to moving to a different city within a country with extra costs being $2000-3000 for travel and initial week at destination.
• Everything and kitchen sink is not much more expensive: 10k gets everything you own professionally packed, stuffed in a 20 feet shipping container, shipped across the ocean, moved through customs, delivered to your new address and unloaded (but not unpacked from boxes). 20 feet container is enough to take everything in a large, packed 2 bedroom condo including furniture.

At destination you will need:

• work permit / work visa
• local equivalent of social security / tax number / sometimes both - file a form, sometimes pay a small fee
• a business (if you are going independent contractor route)
• bank account

Vast majority of the info you need will often be available on the embassy website of your destination country.

Working remotely from another continent crowd checking in.

I hate both the level cap and the fact grinding gets even more painful at higher levels…

There should be calls to toss him into a volcano and they should be getting serious traction

Planar magnetic headphones that start around $200 (monolith m1060) will do that

More expensive bourbon tends to be more interesting but not necessarily more pleasant to drink. In my case it quickly becomes too fancy for my taste buds around 2-3x the price of the cheapest one. Whiskey is a bit more complicated.

In my experience the vast majority of cheap knives can’t hold an edge at all. The super budget stainless used is just too soft. At the same time I can find many in the $70-100 range that do considerably better in that regard - I sharpen them 3-4 times less frequently.

I prefer to spend a little more on the 1-2 that get the most use.

One exception: I wouldn’t buy a noname filter claiming to e.g. be a hepa filter or having high MERV rating - I wouldn’t trust a brand that might not be around long enough to be penalized for false advertising

I’ve just discovered a new game: start posting how you love windows, meat and Elon, place bets who will attack you first

A rehabilitated convict turned prison cleric actually

I was on a night train, alone in the compartment, when a door opened around 2am letting in a very tall guy built like a fridge. I’m above average in height and build and he dwarfed me. He had a face to match including a long scar going from his eye to the jaw bone. Think Marv from Sin City, but more grim and less charming.

He nodded, took off his coat and that’s when I noticed a clerical collar.

Even at double the price you still end up paying under $0.10 per shave - maybe $25/year - and that’s if you pay full price. A small fraction of what you’d pay for cartridges or disposable razors.
