That’s one of the reasons I’m hoarding now.

The T after the 8 is superfluous.

You should’ve just downloaded some more RAM for her.

Is this the outline for Charlie Kaufman’s next film?

I was doing that for a while until I came across this. I liked the idea of completely removing Roku better.

From this link:

“A factory reset returns the TV to its original, out-of-the-box state. Performing a factory reset will remove all stored personal data relating to your settings, network connections, Roku data, and menu preferences.”

This is more for people like me who already have one and still need to use it as a monitor, but want to make sure that Roku never collects another bit of data from us.

I’ve seen plenty of wait staff show up to defend tipping in Reddit threads. They’d rather shame customers than demand fair wages from their employers. Or maybe they were all just bots.

The android app blocks unidentified callers and blacklisted numbers. This doesn’t affect calls from spoofed numbers, and I haven’t found the app’s spam detection to be effective enough.

It depends. Using OPs scenario, if all data, ads and updates, are served from data.samsung.com, then the pi hole can’t help. But if ads are served from ads.samsung.com and updates from updates.samsung.com, then you can blacklist the ads while still receiving the updates.

My experience with a Vizio is that the pi is blocking a lot of the “phoning home” connections, but the ads seem to be integrated with the software that allows me to use apps, so I still see them when I use the TV’s apps. More and more though, I’m using the HDMI port with my HTPC.

I stopped watching local news when they started having the anchors pitch to ads like they were just another news item.

It’s basically a nicer way of saying “shit the bed.” I picked it up from the Tony Kornheiser podcast. It’s a running bit there.

I think what happened to Yelchin is a separate issue. The joystick was still a physical object that gave tactile feedback. The design was fine, but GM flushed the mouse on the implementation.

Where we have a bigger problem is when common vehicle controls are just an image on a screen, and a driver has to take their eyes off the road to do something simple like change the A/C temperature or skip a song track.

How are you seeing ads at all, then?

For Boeing, James?

No. For me.

Imagine your brain triggering a phantom itch but you having no limbs to scratch with.

There would be a class action lawsuit where lawyers take two thirds of the settlement and those affected would get enough for a fancy Starbucks coffee.

Your version of the 8th would literally undo all religion (and a bit of science).

The commandment so nice he wrote it twice.
