"How to speak to a vaccine sceptic: research reveals what works Hesitancy about vaccinations is on the rise, but studies show there are specific ways to address people's questions."

Optimistic, but a start maybe.
Lol, how many times have they done this now? They are obsessed.
Sometimes they are on a remote server that I sshfs mount and play the same way. Multiple people could use the server at the same time if desired, though for me it hasn't been an issue. It's audio, I don't need a visual UI for it. I still have a fair amount of physical media too including LP's, though my record player is long gone.
Anyway, be happy that I didn't mention FORTH :).
I just don't get it, I've seen people struggle with itunes, that stuff is way too complicated and I don't see any need for it. Maybe I'm missing something but if I want to play some music and it's in a file, saying "play this file" seems about as direct as it gets.

I just have a bunch of media files (.ogg, .mp3, etc.) in directories and play them with mplayer from the command line. Playlist = shell script that plays some group of files. I use old school track numbering (01-whatever, 02-whatsit, etc.) though, so most of the time "mplayer *" is how I play an album and the tracks play automatically in the right order. I don't understand the purpose of anything fancier. Now get off my lawn.
I mostly have old Thinkpads with snap-in batteries. They're nice. They do need replacement now and then. The one I have with an internal battery was still not too bad. Take out some screws, open computer, swap battery. No adhesives or soldering or anything like that. Conclusion: avoid Apple stuff and you'll be ok
strip out the HDCP
Interesting, I had figured that was possible in principle but hadn't kept up with what was actually around.
But still, the HDCP stream is decompressed video, so if you want to save it, you'll have to either put it through yet another layer or lossy compression, or burn a ridiculous amount of disk space compared to the compressed stream that Youtube sent to your computer.
We'll see how things go. Google in the past has made occasional modest gestures to get in the way of downloading, but they haven't made serious effort to prevent it. Who knows whether that will last.
No idea about internet integration or "arr", but the Inkplate series are completely open. I got an Inkplate 10 because of an app that I wanted to write for it at the time. The hardware is nice, software is lacking, but I'd buy it again if I wanted a basic e-reader. It has an epub reading app and I'd just download epubs to it from my PC by wifi or USB.
I think I've seen some things like that, but you can never stop them from taking a screen shot, with a camera if necessary.
Works best with an air hockey table.
Maybe they can dogfight some Nazgûl on horses.
