Thank you for the syntax, I didn’t know that. Wish that stuff was in a help box in text entry field or something so it would be quickly accessible so we could all learn it faster.

u/logos asked the same thing, I answered in the thread.

If you’re asking in earnest, the last decade has shown for profit corps know no bounds in using technology to extract, poorly protect, and often aggregate and then will make any attempt to monetize possible–often retroactively. While a dishwasher might not have much data in itself to exploit, if your internet connected TV, Car or phone which is constantly scanning for nearby WI-FI items or networks decided to start cataloguing them…well then that would just be a Tuesday for Google, Ford or Sony right?

The more data points, the worse. More breaches, more creepy facts about us floating around in some creepy company or regime’s stockpile of data to be used, unilaterally against me. Or maybe the next company to buy the current company I’m happy with. Or the next regime that decides people like me aren’t full humans. Between your computer and phone, most people’s lives are somewhat laid bare, but add in car tracking which auto companies have stuck their funnel into during the last 5 years, add in appliances, put Wi-Fi if your shower handle…again the people adding Wi-Fi to things like a dishwasher that don’t need it have only one thing to gain, monetizing your data and selling it to someone who wants to control you in some way.

Thank you, the FCC filing is a good idea, if you find something useful that would be great.

I want Elon musk ISP like I want him at my dinner table.

What is the impact to dock labor, jobs, etc.? It may be that with increased ability to handle labor hours actually expand as the port handles more, but generally that margin comes from somewhere.

Ready player one about covers it

This could be written about a number of topics, great article.

Or Truth Social LLM is released so you the entire thing is a hallucination.

Don’t address me informally.

Can’t say trusted without “usted”

My cousin is a coke head?

HTC glory days.

Three are lots of cards that have built in kickstands now, why not just get one of those?

Add in the facial recognition technology they’re also deploying and go to the next level of Dante; what do people’s habits who look like “x” who are with people(kids, partners, friends) who buy “y” and don’t buy “z”?

First thought I had after read through, how much did that masters cost and you didn’t learn that you can turn off the broadcast name so only people who know it’s there can connect? Probably not even a real degree, freakonomjcs did an episode maybe 10 years ago that said probably 5% of degrees are fake, bet it’s 20% now, lying is culturally through the roof.

It was the cheap fed money that allowed VC to speculate for so long.

Who’s on first?

I have no cable and my TV isn’t hooked to anything except a Chromecast so I can stream to it. Can TVs send stuff out over Chromecast? I feel like it’s no but?

I have a 2012 Vizio TV with a Chromecast. I have it hooked to WiFi so that I can cast to it. Is it able to connect to the Internet through the Chromecast?

Wow had no idea TVs ran on Linux. They should pull the license.

That was the sentence that stuck out to me the most in the whole article as well. Incredible how much is lost for so little. I imagine it’s like drug dealers though, maybe $5 for the first seller, then gets chopped up and cut again and sold for less and chopped up again…

My question is, what are the alternatives? Other than finder older TVs without so much junkware and spyware, Are there open OS ROMs that can be loaded? Cracked firmware or debloated ROMs? I was very into Android’s launch 15 years ago and rode a train of options away from terrible stock ROMs from various OEMs; eventually privacy and simplicity becomes a selling point for OS after companies get through enshittifying it.
