I usually go for Samsung TVs, but same, I never give it network access. I use a Fire Stick that gets its power from the TV's USB port. Best as I can tell, turning off the TV turns off power to the Fire Stick.
A lot of government software moved into some cloud-based, browser-accessible platform during COVID. It depends on the office and the government, but especially with how easily a vendor can modernize legacy software with…
Office is very much not a problem. LibreOffice has UI plugins that arrange everything in a standard Office pre-365 layout. I've been using it for years and I can't recall a single time I've ran into any issues. I think…
Came here to mention Max Miller as well. Amazing work putting together historical context and recipes. Always fun, fascinating, and the recipes are generally very approachable. I've also made the Babylonian stew from…
He speaks with all the conviction of a classic "Fire and Brimstone" preacher. Someone for whom the only metric is stirring emotion, not accuracy of statement.
It really can't be understated how many non-profits operate on a shoestring budget and over-extend that few staff they can afford as a standard operating procedure, and have very low technical skill among everyone as…
As much as the original author bemoans having to do the labeling themselves, 99% of people don't care or don't have such a mix of cables as to make it a challenge to find one to suit the task. If you care, then care…
Banks are only a part of the larger issue. Imagine traveling somewhere, and run through the things you'll need to work without tinkering. Camera, eSIM, GPS/maps, more "exotic" messaging apps that for some reason people…
As an alternative to actually talking for them and being near them, maaaaaybe. Though, at that point you're introducing trust to something that attackers might learn to emulate enough to make it part of the scam one…
Honestly, not really. The problem is that often the scams are symptoms of a larger problem. The elderly still want autonomy, and the scams adapt and change faster than education can get most of the elderly caught up to…
You can easily selfhost a redlib instance and keep reading. I stopped logging in to reddit a year or two ago, but there's still a couple niche communities that are worth it for me to read. Meanwhile, I'm back to a half…
My issue is that they're touted to the consumer as secure, and they're not really doing much more than a complex password. How do you generate a new key if you need one? Same process as a password reset. Does it prevent…
Thanks for making this privacy-forward. I had been using Heliboard and then a kludge to get another language they don't support via Simple keyboard. It worked well as a workaround, and then an update last week broke my…
The most amazing part of Blue Zones, IMO, is the staying power of a few mythological health Shangri-La places. Debunked or not, people will repeat this idea for a generation or two until, ironically, anyone that's read…
At some point we all have to remember that the monitor showing these commands is also an actor, and not actually a computer hooked up to a special laser that scans your body, destroys it, and pulls you into a 1980's era…
If it has an HDMI port, and even better if it has a USB port for power, is you can buy an $40 Amazon Fire Stick and use and upgrade with your TV until it physically dies. Truly, no one should ever connect their "Smart"…
Imagine no more! An article about this seems to be written about a trend of "too expensive!" every decade. 2023: https://www.luxurydaily.com/american-couples-spending-more-m... 2015:…
I thought the same thing - hopefully by the time Artemis III launches they'll remember the gaps and blank screens from this launch. Even the live telemetry model at the core stage separation seemed to not match what the…
We're at a place where browser fingerprinting is what you have to defeat in order to not be tracked online, it goes a lot further than signing up for DeleteMe. All DeleteMe does is save you the time of manually making…
I use it maybe twice a week. My wife maybe every day or two, and will go through things if they make her laugh. Apparently she never got thirst trap hunky dudes non-stop when she first signed up.
Seconding all of this. The food is truly fantastic, and the Georgian people are awesome, but the way they've let Putin slide in to just the right places is holding back the country. I've never been so invested in a…
Also can confirm. From the first moment I started an IG account (at my wife's request), the default algorithm was to give me almost exclusively thirst trap posts with zero geographic or other relevance to me. I had to…
>Also, you don't understand that science is a process, based on evidence, and revision is an essential part of that process? I do, and the process is exactly the point. That human emotions affect the process far more…
>dismissed as fringe >I mean that's how science works. So you're saying it's a good thing to dismiss potential new discoveries because of feels? Not investigate further, not look for additional data to refute the theory…
Imagine if those 100 scientists had gotten their way and Einstein had retracted his Relativity paper. It would have taken decades of observations of gravitational lensing before someone else proposed gravity affects…
