I think combat drones will go full autonomous this year, as a means of overcoming control signal jamming.
It will be limited-mission autonomy, and only as a capability not the default operational mode, but there will be a huge push to make the newest drones capable of continue the mission in the event of lost connection with their remote controller.
It will also be necessary because of the sheer numbers of drones involved in the Ukraine war. There simply won’t be enough pilots.
Obviously, autonomy already exists. Iron Dome operates autonomously, because attackers have the initiative, the robot is required for fast-enough response.
It might actually outlast your Model M. The membranes on the Model M seems to be the thing that has died for me (after like 20+ years mind you). I frequently still use my Leopold from 2009 and its rock solid.
Is that an IBM Model M, or a Lexmark Model M? Earlier Model Ms were entirely mechanical, later ones made by Lexmark used the buckling-spring-over-membrane design.
And in the case of a membrane Model M, I wonder if you can get a replacement from…whatever that company is that bought the molds and still makes them to this day.
Two. Disney+ and WWE Network (UK so it’s still standalone). Always been a Disney fan so it’s a no brainier for me to have access to all the films and shows so easily. And the UK version has Star included so there’s other films to randomly find too. WWE Network is still the only way to go about it here, £9.99 a month (still, it’s never increased) and that pretty much is half what you would pay for the PLE each month. Plus NXT is now only on there in the UK so more than enough to justify the price for me.
I got totally fed up with all the shit, content being spread everywhere and not knowing where to go to watch the things i wanted to watch, prices constantly going up all the time, quality dropping like a lead weight.
So switched to iptv. All the channels from uk, us, and a handful of other countries in europe including ppv sports etc. Also has a stack of disney, hulu, netflix and apple+ bundled in. 14usd a month. Installed on a firestick 4k max pro extreme limited edition. Has an epg, biggest pain is waiting for the epg to load the initial startup each day. Takes a couple of minutes. That being said, you can skip the epg if you want to skip straight to a channel.
Pirates ruled the 00’s until streaming services cracked down on axxo and the gang, then spent the next 15 years or so destroying media amd convenience. Piracy will have amother day again soon, i can feel it in my wooden leg
I use EPG dot best. They’re an EPG provider who give you lots of detailed information about each channel and show/movie and nice clean logos and everything.
You can filter large EPG files from your IPTV provider into much smaller ones that only include the channels you actually watch. The smaller EPG file means that the app uses less RAM on my Nvidia Shield too
It’s not free and it’s kinda finicky to set up, with a weird workflow, but it works well once that’s done
Unfortunately they’ve outsourced to Vietnam. I can attest I have several USA made go ruck packs … and they do still sell a few like that. But they’ve mostly outsourced; YMMV.
