I have a 43" Philips Ambilight (43PUS8510, 4K QLED). It's not a dumb TV per se, but you don't have to use any of the smart features, and - most important - you don't have to connect it to a network.

Do you have any opinions on Everyday Tonality II?

"Mooning" would've been an appropriate name :)

This fugazi economy is all too crazy.


Aren't most Austrian dialects considered as sub-dialects of Bavarian?

This one's also interesting - a non-local (geographically disconnected) Bavarian dialect: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gottscheerish


It's quite funny for me, because (from the article) in Slovene the dialect is refered to as "kočevarščina".

I don't know Slovene, but I speak one of the Slavic languages and it sounds to me as "cat's growl".

Not very nice maybe, but we're talking about meanings long lost in time.

We call Germans: "Niemcy" and it comes from the word "niemy", which now means "mute", but used to mean "foreigner" in proto-slavic. We don't think of mutes when meeting Germans tho. We never did.

Of course no ill will intended here. Just a bit of history perhaps.


"Kočevsko" is the Slovene word for the Gottschee region, most likely just a slovenified version of the original German name. "Kočevarji" then refers to the people from this region and "kočevarščina" to their language.

Also note that the emphasis in the above terms is on the letter e, not on the o - "kočévsko".


De Niro is 82, no Alzheimer's. /s


He was method acting, so I'll allow it.


Where I live corn was never used for producing oil. For that purpose we used rapeseed/canola, sunflowers, olives and pumpkin seeds. Corn grown here is mostly used for corn flour, cornmeal (polenta), or for animal feed.


Ah, we've got pretty much all of that here, although way more rapeseed is grown than corn.


Two things:

- How are these "legitimately free"? For example AMC is a commercial TV channel and as far as I know, they don't offer free streaming. Same goes for MGM, FilmBox etc.

- Strictly speaking this isn't IPTV, it's just web streams. IPTV is usually delivered via multicast (MPEG-TS/RTP/RTSP streams, over UDP mostly).


FR released the source code for their tools in 2012, some of the concepts are described in the repo, e.g.: https://github.com/farbrausch/fr_public/blob/master/werkkzeu...
