    Connect it to cheap mini computer or a raspberry Pi. There’s other streaming devices available but they usually cost the same as the other two options I mentioned and the cheaper ones are also filled with ads.

    I’d rather have a full-blown computer anyways and there are ways to have it act more like a tv with a remote but still keep all the functionality if you need it.

    Ya it’s a fine line I guess but any kind of gore goes directly into the “can be removed” category in my opinion. I fully understand if some mods want to keep the link up and some mods don’t and I won’t be judging either camp.

    I’m just commenting on the fact that you specifically don’t really have a right to complain but that being said, the other posts that were deleted probably didn’t have gore in them.












  • Copyrights and IP laws don’t only come into effect if profit is made. Fan products are usually tolerated by companies because it’s free advertising and fans get angry when it does get taken down.

    When a fan product starts making money, it’s usually because it directly competes with the original IP and then they act. Even then, Etsy has thousands of shops with copyrighted content but the small profit loss doesnt justify the loss of reputation for the companies.

    That being said, it’s the user who uploads it who is at fault and not the tool used to create it.

    Ultimately, I think it’s the platforms that let users upload copyrighted content and celebrity likenesses that should be at fault. Take for example the Taylor Swift debacle. An image generator was used to create the images sure but twitter chose to let it float on their website for a whole day even though it was most likely reported in the first 5 minutes.

    There’s also the fact that if we start demanding AI doesn’t use copyrighted content, it kills the open source scene and cements Google and Microsoft’s grip on our economy as we move towards an AI driven society.



  • It was controversial in China as well, the author had to reorganize the book because of it.

    It’s also worth noting that the good guys and the bad guys where all Chinese in the book while the series kept the bad guys Chinese but changed all the scientist to Brits and what not.

    More importantly, it hits way harder in the series than in the book. I would need to re-read it but I don’t think his wife was even there in the original. I found it much more impactful how it was done in the series.

    I think it’s silly to get butthurt about your country’s past in such a way, just trying to give context.
