My solution here (this is my solution; i recognize 99.5% of people would never do this) is to open up the tv and physically remove any wifi adapters or cards. Obviously not stopping them from hiding them, but being under the plastic shell is enough to stop most people
Everything they can do, a go-pro or adjacent camera would work without issue and with less ambiguity.
The only reason you could possibly have for using them is to film people in secret. Like a pervert.
I wish people were more open to simply not using products they dont like. Its inconveniencing, sure, but if you fundamentally disagree with the platform youre on, just get off. Maybe also get off, while youre at it
Tbf they already do that. Google’s had a button to turn off ad personalization that’s never worked since like, 2014 or something
Easy: get off of it.
If your family is that important and refuses to move: call them occasionally.
Every second you spend on it is another cent given to meta
Is this even possible or reasonable? Smart tvs are pretty dumb if you never connect them to the internet, so no issues until they decide to add 5g chips to them
Out of the loop… “Nazi bar”?
Cachyos will forever be the ideal Arch distro for nerds who want the benefits of Arch without the hassle of Arch (until they support some giant racist or soemthing)
We honestly should be using virtual vouchers for everything. The question then becomes “whats one level up from the voucher i can steal” and we’re very frustratingly (for my mental exercise) back at square 1
If youve ever bought a laptop it likely came with a windows license. Custom pcs are exempt, but prebuilts also usually come with windows preinstalled and activated
A human cannot be responsible for AI written code.
Even if you personally vet every single line, you are still simply code reviewing an AI before you pass it to someone else.
A human did not write nor understand it, and thus cannot be responsible for it and thus should never submit it.
Not to mention the code review itself becomes a very tedious process: sifting through hundreds of lines of AI garbage and token expiry. It’s downright rude to expect a volunteer to check hundreds of lines of garbage you didnt even bother writing.

My wife and i sewed a pocket into our couch. We used to hold a TV remote there, now we have the laptop’s wireless mouse and charging cable in there.
It seems silly for all of a week, and then its just part of the routine
Xylitol is fantastic for dental health.
Im assuming theres some confounding factor like “people who chew a lot of gum and eat a lot of artificial sweeteners are also people who just eat a lot in general or have history of obesity/type 2 diabetes” or something until a dedicated study proves otherwise.
My magic desk rocks should not be telling ME what to do. I should tell THEM to delete my root partition.
Haven’t quite done that yet, but i did need to reinstall arch about 3 times before i got it right. About 5 years with no 15 minute+ issues thus far.
Guy who is willfully ignorant:
Nintendo’s tried arguing this for decades
Computer components being privatized is almost as stupid as privatizing grain in the 1500s. Sure, there are alternatives, but… Are there?
Doordash alone has proven that people will buy anything at any price. Someone with severe depression takes it as a mental health tax, someone with a bunch of money takes it as a convenience fee, and doordash laughs all the way to the bank
Recently? The last like 7 generations of “sport-year” games are all the same game.
In most cases, its in a small enclosure or just screwed in. Its exactly like a NVME SSD, if youve built a computer before
