Coming back to this, I see it's in the paper. There's a mention of copyright, and then:
> Netflix prefers to have ACR deactivated during its streaming “in order to preserve the integrity of its subscribers viewing experiences and maintain sole control over measurement of its viewership” (Verance, 2020). The same reasoning applies to FAST channels, which LG and Samsung consider to be ”aggregator apps” (Wolk, 2023), where providers may have agreements restricting ACR usage.
In other words, FAST comes from other providers, who may complain. Random content over HDMI doesn't. However, this doesn't explain why they ignore video streamed from phones (tablets, laptops, etc) wirelessly.
When I was a kid, I called up AOL and asked them for 1,000 floppy kits. For Reasons. They never questioned me, and they were fairly reliable and I never really had to buy disks again.
Similar story here.. At one point Intuit would send you a demo of Quickbooks on 7 or so floppies, so a friend called up and requested X demos and we split up the resulting disks. I was still saving college papers and projects on old Quickbooks disks many years later.
For 5 1/4" disks, you could double capacity by using a punch to cut a whole into one border and then use the back side - et viola, from 140 kB to 2x 140 kB.
But you had better not punch into the actual magnetic floppy disk inside its plastic enclosure, or you may have killed the whole thing.
Took a welding class recently, it wasn’t that hard to get something pretty strong that could be ground and painted to look nice. You could build exactly what you want with a couple hundred for a stick welder and safety gear. Some places that teach welding will also let you rent their gear/shop time.
We did it with several hundred volts (DC, scary) in college and it was pretty fun collecting the data and watching the numbers fall out in excel doing the analysis.
We also did it in uni, it was very exhausting. And after a full day of measurements noone ever had enough data to see the quantization of the charge of electrons.
