    You see, I've WORKED with OIG folks. IC folks are just bigger, meaner versions of OIG. They will shank their best friend in the liver if they've been dealing dirty.

    Yes I have faith in the intelligence community, and Trump has pissed them the fuck off. Need I remind you he stood in the CIA's room for FALLEN AGENTS and bragged about his fake inaugural numbers.

    1. Don't fuckin' piss off the spooks
    2. Repeat step 1

    I still need to game on my new tv, just to see how it is.

    I did laugh when I saw that one of the sports networks I usually watch is only in 720p, so the whole time my old tv was showing me as good as I could expect.

    I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

    Yeah, live TV content is ass quality (12 Mbps MPEG-2 for most cable channels), even though like ESPN has golden-god quality cameras to shoot everything. Netflix/Amazon "4K" is roughly 1080p Blu-Ray quality at least.

    I know one good Best Buy and it's in Loveland and literally every single other one I've been to has been terrible. And even the one in Loveland has some shitty people and practices in certain departments! The entire culture of the business sucks and the whole geek squad thing is actually rather insulting, especially the whole culture handbook thing.

    It makes sense I guess, like wouldn't it be easier to do a live broadcast at lower quality so as to not have a big delay?

    It's a shame that broadcast HDTV standardized to MPEG2, which requires a really high bitrate for reasonable quality. Had they pushed it and gone with a more robust variant of H.264, TVs would have been pricey for a few of those early years but now it would be no different. And they would have like, doubled image quality while cutting bitrates (and therefore spectrum usage) in half.

    This is one of those cases that makes me go "wait, what. Surely it must be more complicated." Then it is not that much more complicated.

    Agent Jesus Mesa was on the US side when he fatally shot Sergio Adrian Hernandez Guereca, 15, across the Mexican border in June 2010.
    US officials decided against prosecuting Agent Mesa, arguing the Justice Department lacked jurisdiction on the Mexican side of the border.

    Though Mexican officials charged Agent Mesa with murder, the Obama administration refused to extradite him.
    This is like a stupid legal hypothetical.

    Well, it's more expensive. ESPN has upgraded their tech to be able to do live 4K broadcasts, but no one can actually send it yet.

    The specific numbers we have right now are based on what we could fit in a standard TV channel (20 MHz bands) when the digital switchover happened, with some buffer for SD sub-channels and whatnot.

    Most cable operators could move to significantly better quality at this point (basically everyone is on IPTV to give more bandwidth for data now) but it turns out most people don't really care. OTA broadcasters are in a bit more of a pickle because there isn't an updated ATSC standard yet (that I know of) to allow for HEVC/etc.

    *blinks*

    I mean, Mexico would be well within their rights to call that an act of war if they wanted. Asking for the agent to be extradited for murder charges is tame.

    I also find it weird this doesn't fall into any existing treaty's terms.

    Yeah, 12-15 Mbit H.264 would at least be DVD+ quality, which would be a huge improvement.
