This is from September 2025, what's new?

> We are taking inquiries and orders for January 2026.

Hence the relevance, maybe.

What's new is HN discovered it. It wasn't posted in September 2025.

100%

People forget this is also a place of discussion and the comment section is usually peak value as opposed to the article itself.

Another maker is Goldenmate (less I be accused of being an ad)

AI is a god send to governments who have been trying to push through censorship laws under the guise of "protecting [people|children|women|etc]"

Hot take that 99% of the world agrees with: Cyberbullying is bad and it's ok to punish cyberbullies.

> BTW, before I read this Xweet I was a Cloudflare fan.

The CEO of a US tech company asking the Vice President for help with censorship caused you to immediately flip you opinion? And not only flip your opinion, but practically embrace complete censorship of the internet if that means Cloudflare leaving Europe?

..yikes.

Why is he asking for Elon for help too?

> This is entirely top-down totalitarian shit.

So since the beginning of time when the government introduced the food pyramid, we've been in a totalitarian regime? This entire comment is so over the top I question if it's meant to be satire.

> we will be less dependent on US global oil police

EU, Germany especially Loves Russian oil.

So congrats?

> the industry refusing to build "non-luxury" units

This is a government policy failure. Because no one is allowed to build fast enough, there is always a demand for luxury (higher profit) and thus that is what gets built.

You have to completely satiate the demand for luxury housing before it becomes "desirable" to build new standard housing. In years past the "starter home" market has completely been reselling past housing, even what was lux at the time of building.

Why would you spend your time and effort building a house that earns you $50k when for the same time and effort you could build a house that earns you $150k?

You'd only do the first if the second wasn't available.

Luxury housing is exempt from rent-control laws in places where those exist.

The government in this case being your city council

Personal attacks are against the rules here.

and you don't think adamwathan deserves the same respect?

That's not what the rule is about.

Give it some thought, if it were like that half of this site wouldn't be allowed to speak about Trump et. al. the way they do.

This is the guy you're carrying water for, btw: https://x.com/adamwathan/status/2008646797619864060

I'll stop the conversation here as it is off-topic from the thread.

The problem is this doesn't really work anymore with Widevine protected content. You are not getting Widevine L1 protected content through Windows or other type of home desktop operating system. Even without L1 content, platforms like Youtube won't serve 5.1 surround unless it's through an app and not the browser.

I'm not saying you need a smart TV, but if you want to get the content you're actually paying for via Netflix, HBO etc in the highest quality they offer, you'll need to fork over money for a device with dedicated hardware

I’ve never had those issues. Most I’ve ever had to do enable DRM on my browser. Yeah I don’t use surround sound in my living room, but my Linux box in my office supports it, so I don’t see why not.

Even if that were unsupported I would it get an external Apple TV or chrome stick. There is still no reason to have a smart tv.
