The other option is for all the mods to quit. AI can probably do a lot of basic tasks, but without mods they wouldn’t have a site pretty quickly.

Ultimately I plan on subscribing to the Mark Twain VR OnlyFans on my Meta headset. It’ll be $20/mo for the ad supported tier. The ads will be directly loaded into my neural link so I can’t look away.

We could just explore, try to learn new interesting things, and have campy holodeck adventures with Mark Twain.

I don’t think the current rich people would approve. But screw’em if we have replicators

Sorry i misunderstood, thanks for clarifying!

These tech workers are not Bezos. They are just developers and technical people that thought they had a good job with competitive salaries. It sucks they have to uproot their lives because management is being shitty.

They may work for a company without ethics, but that’s kind of the corporate landscape these days.

Either turn off the gas if you can safely do it, or call your gas company so they can shut off the supply to your house.

My Samsung I bought last year required an Internet connection during setup, but after it updated it “allowed” me to disconnect it. Just to be extra safe I connected it to a guest network that I changed the password on so it couldn’t remember the credentials. The menus have ads (that never change), but I set the TV to default to the last HDMI port when it turns on.

I wish they had an AOSP sort of approach to TV where I could install a new ROM and customize the TV OS with whatever changes I’d like, so I didn’t need extra devices to view Plex and my streaming channels. DRM shuts that dream down pretty quickly though.

I hope that some privacy forward brands will emerge, but there just doesn’t seem to be consumer demand or awareness.

Thank you daddy capitalism.

I hope I can continue to make the smart TV dumb by never giving it network access. When that fails I’ll have to hope the pihole handles some of it. The other fun option might be to put it on a VPN in the EU and hope that it enables some gdpr options.

Either way you’re right, it’s likely inevitable.

I was always torn over what TV brand to buy. This helps narrow it down further.

If they must kill people I don’t understand why they don’t knock people out first. I’ve been under anesthesia for surgery; If they had killed me while under, things would’ve just stayed dark, but I never would have known.

This is a great series. If you haven’t played yet this would probably be worth picking up (well ignoring the overlay implications).

I have no plans to revisit the game so soon, so I’ll pass until the whole game and dlc is $5 in a steam summer sale; years from now.

lol, you might need the software to control the RGB lights.

Fuck this guy.

I used to have a KVM that was this style. There is a physical button on top to switch between the connected devices, and it listens for double scroll lock taps to perform the same action with the keyboard.

I’d be more skeptical installing any drivers this ali express device comes with.

I want to know where book 0 is.

I’m glad he is such a bad running mate. He doesn’t have a single redeeming quality… God help us if these people get the white house (again), but everyone involved seems to be trying their hardest to prevent that.

What did they do?
