When my dog poops I don’t put the poop bag in my pocket, I just carry it home. If there is a public trash can I will use it. Never in the pockets though. It is poop.

I am in the US… still up. Very upset this is happening again, I think I’m going to put on Idiocracy and pass out.

They are super common where weed is legal. People fly into somewhere like Denver for the weekend to catch a show. Rather than buying a reusable battery, they will get a disposable vape (and probably some gummies).

Then it ends up in the landfill or as litter. I am in favor of making these one time use electronics illegal (along with single use plastics like balloons, plastic silverware, etc… but that is another thread)

It won’t be over when it’s over. If Trump loses we’ll never hear the end of how he was cheated and maga people will get extra weird, maybe violent.

If Trump wins, we’ll have trump for president, which from experience is also not normal.

Well I updated my computer and my audio stopped working; to the logs! Lol I love Linux, but find myself asking “what now?” much more frequently with it…

With windows it is more like “wtf is this new ad on my start menu?” Or “how can I opt out of all these features no one ever asked for?”

Yeah a dozen or so commits updating readme files isn’t exactly compelling stuff. Any of us could do this in five minutes on GitHub.

I don’t think this was meant for, obviously, really smart people like you. It is to give a sense of scale that a working person understands. The concept of a billion dollars isn’t easy for most people to actually comprehend.

I’ve been writing code professionally for nearly two decades, and I love having copilot available in my IDE. When there is some boilerplate or a SQL query I just don’t want to write, it’ll oftentimes get me started with something reasonable that is wrong in a couple of subtle ways. I then fix it, laugh at how wrong it was, or use part of the proposed answer in my project.

If you’re a non-corder, sure it is pure danger, but if you know what you’re doing it can give you a little boost. Only time will tell if it makes me rusty on some basics, but it is another tool in the toolbox now.

I find the compromise acceptable. Please roll out the mosquito killing technology asap.

I’d probably make the cabinets above the stove smaller so a microwave with a vent hood could be mounted above the stove. Maybe try to get a small purple cabinet over on the left too.

The top left, weird blank space where a cabinet should be bothers me the most. Overall this has a weird rental property vibe with the reused, painted cabinets.

Especially with the oils and perfumes and incense.

The other option is for all the mods to quit. AI can probably do a lot of basic tasks, but without mods they wouldn’t have a site pretty quickly.

Sorry i misunderstood, thanks for clarifying!

These tech workers are not Bezos. They are just developers and technical people that thought they had a good job with competitive salaries. It sucks they have to uproot their lives because management is being shitty.

They may work for a company without ethics, but that’s kind of the corporate landscape these days.

My Samsung I bought last year required an Internet connection during setup, but after it updated it “allowed” me to disconnect it. Just to be extra safe I connected it to a guest network that I changed the password on so it couldn’t remember the credentials. The menus have ads (that never change), but I set the TV to default to the last HDMI port when it turns on.

I wish they had an AOSP sort of approach to TV where I could install a new ROM and customize the TV OS with whatever changes I’d like, so I didn’t need extra devices to view Plex and my streaming channels. DRM shuts that dream down pretty quickly though.

I hope that some privacy forward brands will emerge, but there just doesn’t seem to be consumer demand or awareness.

Thank you daddy capitalism.

I hope I can continue to make the smart TV dumb by never giving it network access. When that fails I’ll have to hope the pihole handles some of it. The other fun option might be to put it on a VPN in the EU and hope that it enables some gdpr options.

Either way you’re right, it’s likely inevitable.

I was always torn over what TV brand to buy. This helps narrow it down further.
