  • Hisense TVs force owners to watch intrusive ads when switching inputs, visiting the home screen, or even changing channels — practice infuriates consumers, brand denies wrongdoing

  • Nothing like Android no. You get the ability to install apps not available in the webOS store, homebrew basically. This is useful for running hyperion (open source project) for driving your own LEDs behind the TV for ambiance. I haven't peeked in that scene in a year or two but last time I did, the latest TV's or latest updated TV's were not easily hackable.

  • Sony offloaded manufacturing to TLC. They made a joint venture and TLC gets to manufacture and distribute them, Sony does development. Sony still has control. What we may see in the future is build quality decline. I doubt it's gonna effect the software much.

  • You think China would just throw in the towel and do nothing about it? They're sitting on the second most funded military in the world. They'll put the soldiers to good use and they'll fight their way to whatever they need. This isn't the 30's anymore.

  • Normies just wont. It is just not what they do. And they are the majority.

    And that's actually a good thing. If 90% of users used ad blockers on youtube, their profit model wouldn't work and they'd stat locking more behind a subscription or they'd double down on cracking adblockers. We can enjoy an ad blocked youtube experience because the majority of users don't.

  • Yes, its still worth playing.It may have lost its cultural significance some since the 2000's US invasions have been forgotten a bit, but its not all about that anyway. Its still poignant. Maybe it will make it easier to decide if I tell you its a short campaign.

  • Cursing makes it hip and edgy

  • We're so edgy, we put a curse word on the cover! How do you like that?!Well, of course we had to be cheeky about it and censor it a bit so we can earn the maximum amount possible by cashing in on our edginess and not offending the advertisers too much!

  • Breaking: BAD

    Jump

  • Plur1bus can do so much, but they do so little! The whole first season felt very empty to me. Aliens bad, aliens good, aliens bad. There you go, you're up to speed. I do eagerly await to see if they can escalate it in the second season.Neither of the shows bored me, but breaking bad had much better writing.

  • LTT does another Linux Challenge

    Jump

  • I've watched Linus some 10 years ago and it always seemed like he's more of a face and a presenter and has others do research and tell him what to do. They give him some minimum info and let him go and make content. He knows more than the average person and apparently that's enough to make content.I wish he took it more seriously. He has a huge platform and can reach a lot of people and he often rather uses it for his own enrichment instead shining a light.

  • They usually involve competent professionals though. I'd say some of their plots are more about idiots than they are idiot plots.

  • Reminds me of a thread on Reddit of photos of Israeli missiles stuck in civilian buildings (apartment blocks). People asking where it was from and not one comment stating it was a Syrian city and where the missiles came from.Treat everything you see as unconfirmed, no mater if it is for or against your beliefs. Manipulation is everywhere.

  • For Arch, I'd go with something like EndeavorOS. The installation is easy for someone who knows what a file system or software repository is and I absolutely loved that you can install a bare bones system: just the desktop and almost no apps and you can go from there and install what you like (I wish fedora offered this).I ended up not using Arch/Endeavor because of rolling releases and I found the AUR dangerous. I mean, its not dangerous, but anyone can put anything on there and its your job (and the communities) to make sure its good. I think a "build all the software yourself" is a great philosophy, but it only fits computer geeks (and I mean this in a good way). We cant all be Richard Stallman. I think for somethings, I can accept an "arbiter of software" who curates what gets on the repo and what doesn't and that its shared via compiled binaries instead of code.
