Netflix has removed the ability to cast shows and movies from phones to TVs,
unless subscribers are using older casting devices.
An updated help page on Netflix’s website, first reported by Android Authority, says that
the streaming service “no longer supports casting shows from a mobile device to most TVs and TV-streaming devices,”
and instead directs users to navigate Netflix using the remote that came with their TV hardware.
The change seems to have rolled ou…

Was hoping to get lots of things done this weekend. Preparing the garden for winter, messing around with some hardware, watching some movies … instead I’m just keeping my fingers crossed that the mild uveitis-sensation doesn’t blossom into the real deal while staying away from light. Sigh. It’s always on weekends when the local apothecary closes early.
I was ripping movies with makemkv and decided to try handbreak to h265 and it produced a movie about the size of 1.5gb instead of the raw 4.4gb size from makemkv. I actually think handbreak movie looks better anyway.

In 2011, Aaron Swartz was arrested after he downloaded millions of academic journal articles from JSTOR via the MIT network. He was charged under federal laws (including wire fraud and violations of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act) with up to 13 felony counts, carrying the possibility of decades in prison, large fines, and other penalties. These federal charges eventually lead to his death in 2013.
No AI company was ever charged under federal laws.

So I watched the Ice Road movie and its sequel Ice Road: Vengence.
So..:the brother dies twice? But why? Why did they feel he needed to be a different brother when the Liam Neeson character is still is Mike and they had a scenario for his brother’s death from the first movie already.
I would be fascinated to hear why. Could they not license the footage from the first?

A bike, my bike.
That I love bikes is no secret. I love movies about them, I watch YouTube videos, I read articles, you name it. Lately, I’ve been thinking about buying a new one from Decathlon. But then I looked at the bike I already own and asked myself: “Do I really need a new bike? Mine’s already great.”
What if, instead of replacing it, I just gave it a little love, new parts, small upgrades? Sure, it’s not carbon, it doesn’t weigh 1.4 grams, and it won’t hit 64 km/h or climb …
