i think every day about how cable internet is IP over MPEG. this is a literal fact. DOCSIS sends downstream data in MPEG frames because that's what the cable networks are optimized for and what all the switching equipment understood when cable broadband took off
whoever is extremely mad about this i cannot see your reply because you're locked
important note: i'm told docsis 1 and 2 were burdened like this but the current standard has probably done away with it. It appears that it WAS like this for many years though.

I haven't even hit 100k subscribers and this is what my inbox looks like. every day i get emails
I now receive multiple shill offers daily. Most are "from" electronics "manufacturer" storefronts on amazon that likely do not exist as anything more than a sheet of paper in a government office in China and one of hundreds of rollstamps at a factory in Shenzhen.
I can't figure out the scam, honestly. I'm positive these "businesses" don't exist in any meaningful way - all the six-letter names you see on Amazon and Aliexpress cannot have staff and offices. There have to be millions of them, it's unthinkable.

so it turns out that the rubberized coating on the Latitude E6420 is not the only thing that high-test isopropyl dissolves. it strips the paint right off the plastic.
well, nothing to do but to do it
the upper 2" of paint are absolutely nuclear-grade. must be baked on there from years of heat, took as long to remove 1/3 of that part as it took to strip the whole rest of the thing

One of the folks on my patron discord was looking for someone to rip some Betacam tapes, and I have a deck just gathering dust, so they sent them over. Neither of us had any idea what was on them.

a thing that rocks about minidisc is that it was sold for long enough, and at enough different price points, that you can have whichever electronics aesthetic you want
would you like Extremely Competent Sony At The Height Of Their Game? no problem
how about Stripped-Down Pro Gear Used As Part Of Much Larger System? we have that
