I have a 43 inch samsung hospitality tv on the merchant ship I work on and it's the absolute worst display made since... The brightness is beyond terrible, colors are beyond dull and the speakers have more in common with the nokia 3310 than anything made past 2007.

Don't bother. Find a decent tv where you can remove the wifi functionality from physically or via software (jailbreaking, service remotes and such).

Also I was in japan and some hotels actually had some decent custom software (eg. "Hospitality) tvs that might be able to be found ... Somewhere.

I'm fairly sure the software care a great deal about projections and which chart datum is used. Just because it's abstracted and invisible for the user I'm fairly sure you would notice if google maps stopped accepting wgs-84 positions or if they changed into an inverted projection. So yes it matters a great deal even on local levels.

What? The projection matters on any scale and for navigational purposes will continue to use mercator projection on flat maps so there this decision doesn't change anything.

Indeed. Better to not vote, offer no better alternative, let the greater evil win and be smug about it. Ralph Nader sure got things figured out...

He'll spin up a consulting company and send invoices for "consulting work" to all the companies with backs he's been scratching the last decade so they can scratch him back.

I don't know what a fcc is but if it helps us having good internet I'm all for it. I work on ships and I've used starlink on ships in storms and all kinds of bad weather including finding the antenna covered in ice and snow. It's fantastic. Our old geostationary communication system fails as soon as a passing bird looks at it.

Try dragging fiber to a ship. Starlink is a game changer for the shipping industry and removing it now would be a mess.

Since the domain is bbc.com isn't that just the original amp-ified version google caches?

I know the url is no indicator on who actually host that particular but I'm not on a computer now so can't check if they are both actually hosted by bbc.

We live in a society... What makes you think he'd even have a channel if he didn't need money?

Most of anything exist because people need money for food. Companies, technology, stuff. If people didn't need money the channel most likely wouldn't exist since stuff largely wouldn't exist.

What do you want people to buy food with. Welfare checks lol? Where would they get money to buy stuff for testing. They have an acoustic chamber that's fairly expensive.

Revenue and professional channels are intimately linked and removing the revenue stream would open them up to bought reviews like heiLTT.

Hardly. The quality is worse than the mp3s I downloaded from the pirate bay back in the day. Aptx hd is better but fairly uncommon. Sbc in high bitrate wounds fairly good but I've only come across it on linux with pipewire.

The same can be said about Linköping, most of the town is ugly as hell.
