I have a small zip bag of 100+ of these in a drawer. Sometimes you gotta pop out a SIM card. Other times you gotta hit a pinhole reset button to fix a rogue router. In a pinch, they’re also a good shiv or shank.
boolean bloat
A smart TV nowadays should only be treated as a computer monitor loaded with a bloated, spyware-ridden OSD.
I’ve connected a Samsung and a Roku TV to my WiFi one time, and they each routinely make hundreds of thousands of advertisement and data collection requests over the network daily.
Take advantage of the deals if you must get a TV, but never connect it to the internet, only navigate the UI to switch display inputs, use external devices only, and always, always, always turn off motion-interpolation!
Github is owned by Microsoft, so don’t worry, it’s going to get worse
I haven’t had streamslop subs in years.
Been sailing the seven seas ever since, and I’m watching it all burn from the crow’s nest.
This review would have had a lot more credibility if he at least disclosed his affiliation with Plex. Instead, he posed as some unbiased rando while advertising Plex Pass. This is textbook gaslighting.
If you look on Plex’s review page in the Play Store, it’s receiving overwhelming amounts of negative reviews over the new UI changes, reliability/performance problems, and how the Lifetime Plex Pass purchase is a lifetime of regrets as they watch Plex getting worse every month by enshittifying itself.
If Plex is resorting to leaving fake reviews to save face, then this company is in deeper trouble than I thought.
I’d like to say their legalese is written in a way that covers more ground in the US, the most litigious country in the world. I would imagine if this was taken to court, their lawyers would argue that “permanently unusable in whole or in part” includes a console serial ban from NSO, or argue that it’s the user’s fault for bricking the console when they attempted to mod it, and Nintendo is therefore not liable or obligated to fix it.
But between the UK-ToS and US-ToS, Nintendo just straight up tells Americans that they themselves are going to break your damn console if you do a thing they don’t like. That is absolutely dystopian.
What is your ISP? That is absolutely cooked if they’re blocking The Internet Archive.
Go to your router/gateway settings and set the DNS addresses to something other than what your ISP sets as default. I’d suggest Mullvad or Cloudflare. Check your phone and laptop’s WiFi settings and make sure they can automatically set the DNS to what your router provides.
Why throw the kids in the slammer? So they can eventually come back out as hardened criminals and contribute to the recidivism statistics, further circling society down the drain because they were betrayed by the corporations that injected their explosive products into our tax-funded school systems? They should give the TikTok kids full STEM scholarships for exposing these dangerous design flaws!
Hold the Chromebook manufacturer liable for the unsafe hardware design flaw with no overcurrent protection, hold the school liable for recklessly issuing these dangerous laptops that cheaped out on safety features, and hold Google liable for neglecting power handling in their Chromebook software! Get the CPSC on the phone and get every single Flamebook recalled across the nation!
It’s outrageous, egregious, preposterous!
