Just a language shift for corporations, definitely.

Subscriptions aren't buying, thats the problem.

Yeah I just dont have a need with no devices to handle it natively, while the rest of my library can be. Building a new htpc media player for the living room next, new server after that.

New because I'm using a lenovo tiny as the server, which means either I build a new box completely, or I find the right used workststion tiny/mini/micro that can handle av1. Complete build will do a lot more (well, the t/m/m does too, but not to the extent my big box builds are set up for).

About the same here, minus the music videos (only a few dozen there for the kids), plus a fitness library, so I'd say it evens out to roughly equal.

Mostly HEVC but I still have some h.264 floating around that I have no interest in reencoding.

No AV1 at all until I get a new Intel GPU or newer Intel CPU to handle transcoding it nicely.

Thats the problem....

Right now I'm not even served by one of the big companies, and they haven't improved service in.... Years.

Even their fiber lines max at 500 symmetric, and they won't drop to a residence. No other options either.

Comcast is now in the area, and as much as I hate them.... It would be cheaper and faster by a lot (on both counts). Half the price, 25 times the upstream.

Its a sad state of affairs IMO.

Thats what I'm on currently, and soon I'll be able to get 1.2gbit symmetric!

Still a far cry from 2-3gbps. I dont know of anyone with home internet service capable of that, but maybe elsewhere there are better options.

Oh definitely.

I have good coverage provided by work for me only, which wouldn't cost me anything, and is not common for people.

Add my family at the base and its good, but now a few hundred a month.

Add them to a level thats appropriate (considering kids, meds I need, stuff my wife needs, etc) and its an order of magnitude more expensive, but comes out cheaper than out of pocket for just those bits.

Its horrendous.

I dont think I said "random", but a randomized routine that meets criteria absolutely works, and you dont need AI for that. I dont think anyone said "AI" at all until you just now either.

Detecting plateau isn't too hard either, which is when you would get a suggestion to change an exercise or set of exercises in a routine, or a new routine. Which is where change of angle comes in - its about the exercise being performed.

Can someone do it themselves? Sure, it just takes more work. Which is kind of the point here - you can make a list of exercises that hit a muscle or muscle group just fine without software, which is what this software does. The next logical step is a system that handles routine options, too.

Even with consistent goals you need to change your routine around.

Edit: and if you're injured, you should be meeting with a doctor/pt for any workout information. No system is going to know how to deal with that sensibly.

For my wife's PT, I received a recent bill of $5300. Insurance reduced to $1100. I owed the copay.

That said, just for PT for my wife, I'm past your cap every month of the year, and I pay extra for the coverage I have.

Yeah its bad.

[–] curbstickle 9 points 1 month ago

Yup...

Uptime is fine, CPU/men is fine. I'd even be fine with grabbing a few ssd's for the task...

But 2-3gbps is a non-starter, not to mention 2 contacts.

It shouldn't be slanted, I'm going to go with "not to code", or your local building code didn't adopt IRC for stairs.

(At least for the slant I'm picturing in my head it would not be to code)
