Dropout.tv

Tons of amazing original content, and very cheap.

Also enjoying that we have a method for reducing concussions by half, but it isn’t mandatory in games why?

Yes, but you still need to install the cores developed by the community in order to play ROMs.

The necessary core for ROMs was released barely a day after OpenFPGA support was, but it wasn’t released by Analogue.

The console doesn’t officially support ROMs. It must run games off the original hardware carts.

However, there’s a fairly simple hack to get ROMs to play on the SD card slot of the Analogue Pocket that many suspect was unofficially developed by Analogue themselves.

$245/year assuming constant 200W load which is pretty reasonable for a small web server.

The trick is to have the server do other things like print, Plex, Piwigo, Samba, Shinobi, Frigate, Matrix, etc

Moore’s law factored in cost, not just what was physically possible.

The complexity for minimum component costs has increased at a rate of roughly a factor of two per year. Certainly over the short term this rate can be expected to continue, if not to increase. Over the longer term, the rate of increase is a bit more uncertain, although there is no reason to believe it will not remain nearly constant for at least 10 years.

Yes. Radio waves can pierce opaque objects.

Ah. Well if your PC is static, a USB tuner isn’t too much. Plus then you have a built-in DVR.

I hear that. We have an attic yagi aimed directly at Seattle from 10 miles away, and we still get the occasional dropout even on our strongest signals.

Still when it works, it works really well. We watch Nature and Nova on Sundays, and the wildlife footage looks incredible.

Well considering many paid tiers of streaming services also serve ads, I consider it free-er than that.

Also, most of the hardware is already inside your TV. You just need a $20 antenna.

Also attempts to make the ads more invasive (louder in this case) are literally legally limited by the federal government.

See this is what I’m talking about. Cable is not the same as over the air. I’m not sure how your cable works in Hungary content/pricing-wise, but I do find it funny that a lot of younger people in this thread are lumping the two together.

You don’t, but that only applies to sports or things that you need to watch live.

Ah, I remember finding it on stumbleupon like 20 years ago. I always thought it odd that there was no video or follow up story.

Hunted for a link at 1am last night and wasn’t really paying attention. Plus the whole thing grossed me out, so I didn’t look too closely.

Sorry for wasting everyone’s time.

Wait, what? Are you talking about people who upload content and try to slide by the copyright filters?

So to answer the original question, have you tried it and are you under 25?

That’s interesting! So it’s like free cable TV?

Yeah but instead of $60/mo, it’s free.

Pick up Tablo or HDHomerun. Connect an antenna. Drop it in a closet or wherever you get the best reception. Then just record stuff you like. You can browse from any media streaming box (AppleTV, etc).

There’s decent content in there and after the upfront cost, it’s free.
