Storage is expensive :/
That's already almost 36tb, after conversion to HEVC which compressed it ~40%

I wonder how that compares to my own collection...
I haven't found a source for the size of Netflix/Amazon/Hulus libraries; but I haven't looked all that hard either.
I still want Futurama style human transport tubes
It would certainly make jamming of guided weapons quite difficult; missiles, drones, UAVs, etc.
It will definitely require corrections from GPS or other systems, but if made sufficiently accurate; it could be months or even years before the accumulated errors necessitate a correction.
What seems more concerning to me is a system like this would require 100% up time between outside corrections.
A gps receiver can acquire its position from a completely powered off state. Inertial guidence though, needs to be told its current position; then it can keep track of where it goes from there. If there's any hiccup with power, you've completely lost your location fix and can't reacquire it alone.
Put the two together though, and the inertial guidence can accurately fill in the gaps between gps service while also getting regular updates/corrections when you do have that signal available.

Something that stuck out to me:
The AeroScope signals are not encrypted, despite what we wrote in a previous version of this post — even though DJI and an independent source both told us they were encrypted, and DJI insisted they were when we did a fact-check, DJI now admits that they aren’t encrypted at all. So they could be picked up by other kinds of receivers.
If they are injecting ads into the actual video stream; it won't matter what client you use. You request the next video chunk for playback and get served a chunk filled with advertising video instead. The clients won't be able to tell the difference unless they start analyzing the actual video frames. That's an entirely server-side decision that clients can't bypass.
Only if the ads are a fixed length and always in the same place for each playback of the same video.
Inserting ads of various lengths in varying places throughout the video will alter all the time stamps for every playback.
The 5th minute of the video might happen 5min after starting playback, or it could be 5min+a 2min ad break after starting. This could change from playback to playback; so basing ad/sponsor blocking on timestamps becomes entirely useless.
I'd just like to clarify: the new machines aren't MRI (the magnets in those would prohibit all metal objects being within 100ft).
The new machines are also xray; but the xray emiters and detector are now on a spinning carriage similar to an MRI. This allows you to build a 3d model of the object and calculate it's volume, which when combined with the density measurements gives much more reliable material detection.
This also means your stuff doesn't have to be removed from bags to ensure items aren't blocking each other from the scanner.
Fun fact: until recently, most airport scanners literally couldn't differentiate between water and many common explosives. Hence the scrutiny of water based products/possessions.
That's a new one to me, I'll have to check that out. Thanks!
Been doing conversions via Emby, but it's not a very powerful tool for that.
