There’s another thing I don’t see people talking about. In the YouTube app itself, they have hovering “Products” link, that covers a portion of a video (might just be shorts) and there doesn’t appear to be any way to remove it. I currently have YouTube Premium and it shows up.

1 bedroom has a TV. Living room has at TV. Was going to put one in the guest room, but I’m not buying a smart TV.

You’re still paying for the components, so an out-of-box dumb TV would be cheaper (we saw this when smart TV’s first launched, they were ~$30-40 more then the dumb versions). You still are at the mercy of whatever board/OS gets installed. And Microsoft is constantly trying to force users to make an online account to use the PC, it’s only a matter of time before TV makers require WIFI to do initial setup. Plus there’s ways to still get online, like if they partner with Xfinity who use customer routers (the ones that get rented) for others to use… stuff like that would eb all to easy to do. Or heck, partner with Amazon. They deliver everywhere, so the trucks are driving around, there’s ways they could auto join you to a network.

The “just don’t” doesn’t send a message other than “we need to try harder because we need to steal that data”. Stop buying TVs is the only message that might work.

Seven Pounds

Watching how a single person, a single life, could positively impact the lives of so many people got me to be a registered organ donor.

Well it was nice knowing the crew… If they’re running windows they’re doomed.

No, what they’re asking for is Copilot^Copilot

Not to be confused with Copilot, or Copilot+, or Copilot 365, or Copilot Pro, or Github Copilot, or Copilot Studio, or Security Copilot…

My city approved a monopoly because a business threatened not to come to the city if it had to compete. Truly, what was best for the community! Oh, and 3M dumps a lot of crap into the water because they don’t want to spend the money to properly filter it, wasn’t until a large grocery brand showed up and forced their hand that the city did ANYTHING about the terrible water. Just normal people who want to do whats best for their community…

If you feels so strongly about this, why don’t you run for city council?

Must be nice to have as much free time as you do to just take on additional responsibilities/roles in life. Or are you implying that if I’m not on the city council, I’m not allowed to have an opinion…? What exactly is your point and why are you taking it so personally?

Nope/10

I mean, that’s how it was originally sold. I think it was '95 and we were watching ‘CNN in the Classroom’ I think, and we saw something about how you could use the internet to see photos from some art museum. Basically, experience the museum without having to go there! My teacher was like, “Well, I think we have access to the internet, let’s try it out”. It was slow, but yeah, we got to see some stuff at like dial-up speeds. I remember when they talked about virtual shops and what that might look like (which was oftem more a virtual representation of the store than the grids we have today). Kids in my class back then were getting better grades simply because they had a proper printer, word processor, and information (probably Encarta 95 or something like it). My stuff was hand-written, or I used a typewriter, grammar and spelling mistakes everywhere, and I had to go to the public library (where I think they literally copy pasted some stuff and turned it in… it was the 90’s)

Yeah, I think part of what’s missing is HOW it’s said and what it’s about.

Due to potential parasites, you should definitely cook using a proper meat thermometer. And avoid those “organic” varieties, they may have unknown diseases.

And once someone (probably a child) gets hit and dies, the city will say how sorry this tragedy is… will claim they’ll do something, and then do nothing. Because words are cheap. Oh, and they’ll act like this wasn’t avoidable, there was no way to know this kind of thing could happen.

IMAX has better resolution than standard. With standard films, they can look low-res to some (especially gamers who might be used to higher resolutions).

How do know so much about Zambian passports?

I don’t know that even matters much, most of these contracts tend to have a clause they can change the contract at anytime and they may or may not notify you.

This is an idea that should be shelved for a good 20-30 years, honestly.

We’d need global collaboration to come up with a universal standard applied to all cars (regardless of price). If it can’t be a standard, then it’s a bullshit idea. Competing standards and companies simply means abandoned tech everywhere and everything, thinking their tech is best, nothing works together, issues across the board, and high cost to customers.

No you just rebrand it a built-in crematorium.

Kids today probably think your old if you burned your own CDs

The number of times I’ve seen people get out of the shitter and just head back to work, is disgustingly too damn high. I used to bring sanitary wipes with to clean every door handle. Now I work from home thankfully.

I want to add, don’t diagnose yourself, period. Especially from crap you see on the internet. If you suspect something, see an actual doctor. Someones diagnosis/life is not a “fun costume” for you to just wear because you saw a meme or want to be quirky.
