Neat!

I'm old enough to remember the PXL2000, always wanted one but was too poor as a teenager. (Not the tech used in OP's video link from what I can tell but reminded me of that device).

..are there lights on in there, or was it the sunset shining through? Beautiful pic.

You can, but now it's called "a big monitor and your own server with a personal media library".

I have used Krita to edit 1-2 page PDFs, but it's clunky as each page is its own layer. If you're looking for something that lets you add notes to an entire book or something... probably not useful.

.. and even just economically, AFAIK we have treaties we would have difficulty getting out of; such as to provide them with water. We ship a lot of our raw resources (beef, lumber) down to them only to buy back finished goods, stuff like that. Canada will be in a real jam if we feel a need to distance ourselves properly from the USA.

Hmm, if you could find a SCSI3->2 adapter, and then a SCSI->CompactFlash drive, you might be able to cobble a working solution together?

Bwahah, yeah right he introduced her as being on the legal defense team on camera at at least one press conference.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/360_deal

It's a music deal that lets the labels take a cut of everything, including revenue streams artists used to have to themselves -- shows, sponsorship deals, merchandising.

It used to be that if you bought, for example, a concert t-shirt or stickers or whatever (unsure if CDs/tapes were ever exempt) at the live performance that the artist got all or most of that. Artists could also control their own merchandising and aspects of their persona outside of the studio... personal appearances etc. but now the record labels 'own' them more completely. A terrible turn in general, and most labels demand a '360 deal or nothing' to new artists.

"Merch" used to be the way artists made a lot of their income while on tour, since they didn't make nearly as much from their album sales from an already unfair record-deal system; now they can't even catch a fair break on tour.

Huge acts can negotiate better deals; the rest are stuck with unfair terms.

Oof. Should I worry about my new, old Oneplus 5T? It rocks with LineageOS.
