  • Can it also redact text from documents without allowing you to just copy and paste it back out again?

  • We'll just tell them they're reopening Epstein Island and this is the first flight.

  • Extremely rare East German game console from the late 1970s tested — only such device produced by communist GDR, bought for $1,000 at auction

  • Looks similar to the old Radofin TV game unit I used to have. 10 games, and most of them were Pong variants.

    Makes sense. The Soviets cloned a few Western machines. They had a clone of the ZX Spectrum too.

  • I didn't realize my LG TV was spying on me until I turned off this setting

    Jump

  • Yeah, I vaguely remember it from when it was originally reported on, and all the articles about it seem to be from 10 years ago.

    Apparently the tech is still in use, but it's very niche. They can embed it into e.g. sports TV intended for broadcast in bars, and physically go to the bar with a phone app to check to see if they're using the expensive public broadcast version, or the cheaper home version and then fine the venue for non compliance.

    In the UK, they just broadcast with a pint glass in the corner of the screen instead.

    It kind of relies on the belief that phones are always listening, while the truth is much worse IMO. They don't need to. They're tracking enough about you already.

    Expressed an interest in invading Greenland. Guess what?

    Jump

  • Yeah, I know it was touted.

    But this one never really seemed to take off. The idea was they'd embed their listening tech into other apps, but as far as I can tell no other apps really wanted it because TV was already dying a death.

    Plus if you're going to record everything, why not voices. And on Android it tells you if an app access the microphone.

    This is just one of those things that bigger tech killed.

  • This sounds like the kind of thing you'd hear from someone who smokes things off tin foil in their car.

  • Random idea: a federated alternative to Amazon Prime built from independent shops?

    Jump

  • The company I work for actually already tried it like 20 years ago, got immediately scammed with an expensive credit card chargeback (we'd already passed the money on) and the boss pulled the plug on it.

    I think most shops don't want you to see competitors prices and be able to swap to them with a click. They were like walled gardens and only begrudgingly use Amazon because some people think the rest of the internet is scary and don't trust it.

    Amazon already shows us where that approach goes. It results in a melting pot of the cheapest possible crap.
