Unless the government wants to buy the data in which case it’s just good capitalism

Threatening her life is very different than criticizing her ideals and unacceptable no matter how annoying you believe she is. Also, her credentials are growing by the day despite your personal opinions.

If we allow golf to win, the game of life will be lost forever

How do you leave when your friends, family and coworkers are all on iMessage and refuse to use anything cross platform? This literally affects people’s professional relationships and close personal connections.

No my friend, Apple has perfected lock-in and turned it into an art. Just because it doesn’t affect you doesn’t mean it’s not an issue.

Their entire business model has been to focus on systems that lock people in and exclude people who are out. None of this is done for security or as a means for the best possible customer experience. It’s done for the sole purpose of forcing income they couldn’t achieve with innovation alone. I’ve heard so many tech reviewers and even my own personal friends who say they would love to switch if only to try something else. They say they’d switch today if their friends, family and coworkers wouldn’t get mad at them. Apples only real innovation over the past ten years has been built in social pressure.

Think of any invasive streaming devices in your house. Samsung, Google Chromecast, ATV, LG etc. Roku is by far the worst.

Cosmic justice?

I’m sure big tech is stoked on this idea. I mean, they were always able to figure out who most people were but now people have to straight up enter their identification and positively confirm.

I’m sure no one will use that information for nefarious reasons, right?

Windows and Mac OS are both closed source but both allow apps outside an app store. No issue with the code base there.

Any suggestions on the best modern router this will run on?

That’s because Isreal has been slowly co-opted by xenophobic right wing extramists under the guise of survival.

LG is one of the worst. Only TVs with ROKU are worse for privacy concerns. ROKU, LG and Samsung make Google look good when it comes to invasion of privacy.

I’ve been against the idea of smart TVs from day one. A good panel will easily have a longer life than whatever smart box they shoe horn into TVs now. That’s reason enough to avoid that trap.

Mark my words on this: on top of the privacy invasion Future smart TVs will be designed to slow down to the point of being unusable well before their panels wear out to force upgrades and prevent third party repairs.

Henceforth all cities, states, towns and rivers will be called America. The United Americas of America.

We need to rename the Statue of Liberty to the Statue of America. In its current state it’s just woke propaganda with a sign actively promoting illegal immigration. It’s downright un-American.

Sadly, I believe this almost without question.

Wolfenstein 3D was woke propaganda. At least that will be the official article if Trump and the right get their hands on Wikipedia like they’ve already said they want to.

Internet connected front facing stereo cameras running on closed source software and little to no oversight? No thank you. The enshitification of tech demands more user data and I don’t need more Spyware in my home.

Make a high quality display panel with no OS except to run basic settings and I’ll pay a premium.

Political parties are private institutions and should not be in a position to shape American policies at all. Having a two party system allows centralized control over everyone else in the given party. If elected officials feel pressured to fall in line then they’re not fighting for the American people, they’re fighting for their own political party.
