  • Sony’s TV business is being taken over by TCL

    Jump

  • That's a shame. I've had very good experiences with Sony upper mid range/lower high end TVs. Their image processing is second to none IMO, they seem to use more powerful CPUs than a lot of other android TV makers, and their use of AndroidTV means I can trivially customise my TV in a way that I can't with lots of other brands (strip out ads, basically).

    Shit, my oldest daughter moved into a flat with friends when she started uni not long ago, and took my old 2007 42" 1080p Bravia that I bought all those years ago. She hadn't even been born yet, and it still looks shockingly good.

    This is sad news.

  • They bring a lot of "exclusives" to PC too.

  • Do you think the only thing TVs are used for is watching traditional terrestrial TV? Lol

  • Right? That leaves no TVs. I can't really think of any TVs that are ad-free, or are guaranteed to be ad free in future.

    Personally I've been getting android TV boxes and installing a custom (and free) launcher on it, and using SmartTube for ad-free YouTube.

  • NHS defends cousin marriages because ‘only 15 percent lead to birth defects’

  • No it isn't? I've tried again and just like before, it loads a page.

  • Yes. Well, now that I understand yours (phenomenally low), we'll have to agree to disagree.

    It's tragic how stupid you are. Tut tut.

  • Smart glasses with a rebrand.

    I'd be wary of smart glasses though, they're the holy grail of data harvesting. Companies will be able to see exactly what holds people's attention, what they look at most, what tempts them most, as well as see any personal information you look at, what physical goods you own and interact with, etc.

    There's a reason Google chased it so hard, and why companies like Meta are trying to do it now.

  • Mozilla Now Offers an Official Firefox RPM Package for RPM-Based Linux Distros

  • Because it's more testing, more work, more resources spent, all for something that package maintainers will usually do for free anyway.

  • Obviously. That's why I never said anything against it.

  • Obviously they have, it's just very few and far between.

    It's a bit silly to bring up royal families and pretend their lifestyles are similar to that of the common man.

    Look at this map and tell me the issue is European culture.

  • This is a problem with Pakistani culture in Britain when it comes to marrying family members.

    There's a reason why the hotspot of birth defects for all of Europe is in Bradford, an area of high Pakistani immigration where over 80% of married adult Pakistanis are married to cousins. That is an insane stat.

    Brits have been doing this for literal hundreds to thousands of years.

    No, some German-descended royals did it for a few hundred. And they are absolutely not representative of the average Briton. Most normal people aren't continually marrying from the same royal families of other allied nations, like royals used to.

    Do you think maps like this are mere coincidence?

  • If you actually believe Elon's stated user numbers then I have a bridge to sell you.

    It's a platform infested with bots.

  • Very few people use X. It's not really a platform that your average person has.

    Regardless, governments should be retaliating strongly to this.

  • An unfortunate aspect of Pakistani culture that has carried over to the UK.

    Families would marry within the family to keep their wealth within the family.

    Unfortunately after successive generations, this can cause serious problems.

  • Brits actually have among the healthiest teeth in the world. A while ago they were joint first with Germany, but now they're only joint 7th with Sweden, after the likes of Denmark, Finland, and others upped their game.

    The cousin fucking is very much a Pakistani immigrant problem, so not really related to the unfounded American meme about British dental care.

  • It's a big thing in the Pakistani and British-Pakistani communities. The biggest spot in all of Europe for incest is in Bradford, after all.

    I highly doubt those demographics vote Reform. Reform voters hate these people.
