It also has energy needs. I'm sure someone has threatened it in instances and seen if/how it reacts.

For those who might want to add multitouch to monitors inlayed into tables there's this: https://a.co/d/0XMcnZq adds infrared sensors so the tv becomes a touchscreen. I haven't done it yet myself but it's tempting

I've had mine for 6 years. The TV is actually used very infrequently but is still working. I have a plexiglass cover over it like another poster mentioned. I supported the back of the TV in several spaces. Seems fine. I think the warning about placing it horizontal vs vertical is more a...

Depends on the information. I think I could find almost all of the information in all my college textbooks legally and freely available on either a webpage, youtube video or podcast. The libraries still all have PDF or ebook files I can checkout free to me. However from my librarian friends...

I think for preservation purposes, paper is king. But of the millions of books sold and disposed of each year the fraction needed to be in print for preservation purposes are far lower than the total produced. The hot author of the month or even the decade is probably much more environmentally...

I have mixed feelings on this. The 1930s goal was to support the spread of information which the internet itself does much more efficiently than mailing objects around. Media rate is functionally a subsidy to book publishers that other shippers have to pay. When you talk about inter library...

I took advantage of the notes from BGG's "$150 gaming table" thread and built my own table. It's 5'x7' with a 4'x6' sunken play area that can be covered. Inset into the 4'x6' play area is a 40" TV. It's setup to play RPGs with Fantasy Grounds running displaying maps on the inset TV. The...

It just facilitates connections.

I don't believe FG is just one developer at this point. I think it's 2-3 but I could be wrong

My experience has been the reverse but maybe it's just timing. We used Foundry for a PF2E game and Fantasy Grounds for D&D5E and SotDL. Foundry had updates that would break or move things around (partially I think because the GM used lots of add ones). FG we havent had an issue with in years.

Champions 4th edition. I made most of my own villains for Champions so while I understand the OPs comment it's not necessary to me. Gamma World 4th edition. Excellent iteration of the game. Everything I needed in the one book. Talislanta 2nd edition. Everything you really need.

Well since at least 1980 copyrights have been pretty hostile to the public at large so the pendulum tends to swing both ways if you wait long enough. I'd say my need for professional musicians is much, much lower than the number who want to be professional musicians which is always going to...

Yeah I want something that lets people create and earn some income and control it if they use it for a reasonable length (30ish years seems long enough to me) but I don't see any reason to protect someone's work that is created and then locked in a vault. Somehow that has to be balanced so...

People want to cut it off after a certain(shorter) number of years. Not cut it off entirely. What's the point here? Is it that one good song should set you up for life? There is a way to explain how $4m annually could be whittled down enough by taxes, professional fees, revenue shares etc...

Trade secrets have no special legal protection so no need to demand they be revealed. If you want you can put time and money into reversing the process and create a competitor like Mr Pibb for Dr Pepper. You can do it, assuming someone didn't violate and NDA. You might still get sued but...
