Way way fewer people will buy drones if they're banned.

Airliners are NOT at idle on approach. Descent rate would be far too high. Just listen next time you're on a plane... the engines are cut to idle at the flare just before touchdown, when you're 5-15 feet off the runway.

They are. If that's not sufficient, the next step is going to be an outright ban on drones period.

This may shock you, but they thought about that.

I've had this app for about 6 months. Used it for buying alcohol, picking up controlled substances, etc. Haven't had to use it with law enforcement yet but it's worked everywhere. Pretty cool. The app has an image of the front and back of your license, complete with the complex barcode. It also...

The humans were wrong 33% of the time. The AI was wrong 13% of the time. The error rate of the humans was a bit over twice that of the AI.

My point is just that you're spending a ton of money on gear that won't effectively change what you're doing or what you're capable of. Your D3200 has everything you need to learn photography and produce tremendous images. You're going to be gaining a little bit in ISO performance and angles...

25,000 pictures without knowing what aperture was?

Out of curiosity, how many shutter activations do you have since you started this thread?

"I've grown out of my D3200." You have absolutely not grown out of your D3200. You haven't even begun to explore what it's capable of, not by a long shot. You've learned a little bit about the basics of exposure. It's time to put them to work and lean how to actually shoot.

Wow, that posting history is a rollercoaster.

Before you invest in bigger lenses, you need to invest in your photography. You don't seem to know what the numbers on a lens even mean, so you have some work to do. Take a class, read a book, experiment with the equipment you have. Nothing you buy will make you a better photographer right now...

What you want really doesn't exist, and will never exist again. You are insisting on older-generation features for no reason at all. It's time to move on. If you want an old used model, then you need to hit up Craigslist or something and see what's available locally. That's dumb, and you will...

Which display does it have?

This statement is really nonsensical. The presence of apps does not affect your actual usage of the TV. Grow up.

There's dozens of us!

Ethernet port is a "questionable feature"? Your issue is self-created and bizarre. Your religious avoidance of smart features means you have to make compromises. No one makes a modern big screen consumer TV without smart features. You're either going to have to get a commercial display or...

Did you look into commercial displays? They're exactly what you're asking for. There are hundreds of them out there.

You can get a 16 GB SD card for about $6. That's not a reason to encode all your music at a substandard bitrate.

You want a commercial monitor/display. Something like this, but there's a large market: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1335233-REG/lg_55lv340c_55_class_54_9.html

Virtually no excuse to use 128 kbps for audio these days, unless it's spoken word only.

Doesn't really need to like it, you just need to get far enough to activate with your hardware signature. Then you can reinstall from scratch and maintain activation.

I gave up on SyncToy a long time ago. Robocopy has been far better for me.

I'm not "laying assumptions on" you. I'm speaking in generalities. If they apply to you (that is, you think vinyl just sounds better) then so be it.

I just assumed. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'd like to see the circuit. Regardless, the vinyl record itself is made through converting a digital file to analog in the first place. The tracks are recorded digitally from the very beginning. If you think vinyl is better than CD, then you're saying the...

The funny thing about that is they convert the vinyl waveform into a digital signal via the laser, at which point you effectively have a digital copy of the music anyway. There was never a need to press the vinyl in the first place. Modern recordings are all done in digital anyway. You're...

Tubes can be really, really good when used within their spec. Transistors aren't necessarily better in all regards. Also, tubes can be great for instrument amplification as the breakup patterns can be very organic and satisfying compared to transistor.

FYI, what matters with CDs is not necessarily the CD player. A $50 CD player can give world-class results. What matters is the digital to analog converter. If you're using analog outputs on your CD player, then the CD player's D/A converter is being used and a cheap one will not sound as good as...

Wtf are "digital transfers of vinyl"?? Those are called CDs, and they skip the digital -> vinyl -> digital steps.

It's not, by any measure or known mechanism. Vinyl is in both theory and practice measurably worse in every way we are able to measure.

Revenue from digital and physical sales both declined last year, so saying physical "resurged and outsold digital downloads" is wrong and silly. Both digital downloads and physical sales are both dwarfed by subscription services at this point. Subscription is $5.7 billion, compared to ~$1.5...

Not if it's literally true. This could turn into an issue.

No, because no one possesses the internet. If you're mining Bitcoin, your computer contains the whole blockchain. If the blockchain contains child porn, then your computer literally has child porn on if it you're mining.

I'm a FreeNAS user. I know. I see a lot of people failing to manage permissions effectively in FreeNAS because they're not using Windows to manage file permissions on their shares. You have to get permissions right on the server files, the share, and in Windows.

I mean where were you managing permissions. GUI? Linux command line? Linux GUI? Windows File Explorer?

Windows share? When you say the permissions were the same, were you looking at the permissions in the FreeNAS GUI share, the pool, Windows, etc?

I can't answer that without more information. Were you trying to write to Pool B via a share, or from the CLI, or a jail, or what?

Your permissions problem is almost certainly due to your misunderstanding of the underlying OS and how permissions and possibly SMB works. Which is fine; you shouldn't need to learn to be an expert FreeBSD administrator just to run a NAS. I'm saying that to point out that moving to another...

And there is no mechanism, software or hardware, by which IME can be disabled. Perfect.

Virtualize the box. CPU and memory upgrades become relatively trivial afterward.
