All TV's are dumb tv's if you only use them as an external display/monitor and don't connect them to the net. I have a dedicated computer for a media center and just use HDMI1 input on the TV. Never enter menus. Never update the OS. Never agree to anything. Never let the TV "phone home." Never set up wifi. Never connect a CAT5 to it. Set the input using the remote and forget it. Treat it as a dumb monitor. Computer is connected to the net, TV is not and has no way to access it.

It's small, does the job I need, it can be made to look good, and extended via plugins. What else do I need? VLC seems like overkill for music.
Or, this might actually be another important problem that humanity should find worthy of recognizing and finally solving.
I think of this more like: Just while you're not offering your work for sale in a country, then we all just agree as a society to look the other way as it's pirated. But you can end this get out of jail free card at any time by providing an official alternative.

Not doing this creates memory holes for artistic content. TV shows from decades ago with unclear rights ownership will be gone, disappeared.
I'd say the Golden Parachute is closer to worst case. Best case is "failing upward", like so many of these Upper Class Twit of the Year candidates seem to do.
Sure, but the point is also to render said ASCII into something a bit more slick and dynamic. These editors let you work with the underlying markup, while showing you the final product. In fact, this is the way I wished all word processors worked—the worst thing about MS Word in my opinion is the invisible hand of the phantom formatting characters.
Panasonic confirms plan to outsource TV production to external partner
I'll rephrase it - programming is the only field I know deeply enough to be deeply impressed by the accomplishments I'm seeing.

I'm sure I interact with well designed entities all the time, without even knowing it. One of the properties of really good design, imho, is that it's not meant to be easy to notice.
> There was only one window on the screen for a given folder because a physical folder can only be at one place at a time. The location of each file and folder on the desktop or in a window was saved, as is the size and location of each open window, because objects remain where you left them unless moved.

You could just live update icon positions in both windows, particularly on modern machines. Just like how if you rename a file in one window, it appears renamed in the other window.
Oh, my god. That's so cute. Thanks for pointing that out to me, I had no idea.
I removed the WiFi card from my LG TV before I first turned it on, it's been great since.

Apparently some TVs are bad at nagging about missing the hardware, so another suggestion would be to add a load or something to the antenna. I forgot what that's called, and at the time, couldn't really find any details online.

Yeah I was afraid my new TV would do that. I was planning to return it if it did because I had bad experience with Vizio and TCL smart TVs breaking updates before (I'm an Apple TV user).

I can confirm that Roku firmware works great without the internet and doesn't nag. I just turn it on and switch to my Apple TV.

Turn a temporary road sign for 30 speed-limit into a 80 speed-limit with some black-tape (I have already seen it done when people were angry to be fined by speed-detector for a few excess km/h, (or just for the lulz) ).

Absolutely!

The main problem is that the planet when viewed as a whole is rather squishy. We're gonna have to apply a lot of energy with extraordinary gentleness somehow. Still working on that part.

English is lingua franca regardless of social or economic status.

Every child gets to learn 3 languages : one local language, One regional elective (or Hindi), and English.

English is now pervasive enough that transliterated words are common in all languages and are being used natively. People use English words and idioms without even realizing they are speaking English. You will find even in remotest corners someone who will understand and converse in rudimentary English (especially the youngsters).

> Why does (consumer) monitor tech always seem to lag TV tech by a few years?

Well, “always” seems like an exaggeration; consumer monitors were far beyond 480i before consumer TVs were.

> It looks like the situation is still that in the 4k OLED space there are a few ~$4000+ monitors and dozens of ~$1000 TVs.

That’s not monitors being behind in tech, that’s TVs being cheaper because of economies of scale and opportunity for ad serving and data harvesting.

> Is it an industry structure thing, where panel manufacturers integrate and co-develop with TV manufacturers but monitor manufacturers are separate

AFAIK, LG, Sharp, Samung, and Sony are all four panel/TV/monitor manufacturers; I dont think that’s an issue.

If you want to buy a Google or Roku anyway, why wouldnt you buy the appropriate tv with it built in, and THEN upgrade in 3-5 years when the smarts arent as bright anymore? Are people really expecting a 4 year end of life software upgrade to disable the hdmi ports? You might be able to find a one off freak occurrence, but thats not regular practice.

Everyone buying a Spectre/Insignia to avoid smarts is getting a considerably worse picture quality (which I would think is almost number one TV criteria after size) in exchange for nothing.

People could look at TV OS as a differentiating factor, not a burden. Make picking your OS your first choice, and find the best panel at budget within that category.
Correct, but that data is hard to enumerate and quantify.

Long-term sustained contact with decision makers are also a relatively small cabal and notoriously fickle (IMO).

It's hard to sell people something new when their margins are very small and the risk of failure is high even when you do _everything_ right (weather). Thus, these decision makers usually go with what has worked in past and are extremely cautious to try something new. That mindset contributes to some serious moats in ag (tractors, seed, chemical, fert companies).

Worth noting that the 10 and 7 are double ChaCha rounds, which means that the strength of BLAKE3's bit diffusion is closer to ChaCha14 than ChaCha7.

Given that the best attack against ChaCha fails to break ChaCha8, it's reasonable to conclude that BLAKE3 is secure.
One thing you're forgetting is that smart TVs are much cheaper because the cost is subsidized by the apps, software, and ads. This is why many of these "dumb TVs" aren't hundreds of dollars cheaper than their smart cousins.

In my opinion it doesn't matter if outdated software is "baked into your hardware forever" because all I have to do is disable the Internet settings, and plug in a roku/chromecast just like you would on your dumb TV. Difference is my subsidized TV cost way less. In terms of value over time (which is what I assume you meant by calling it an investment) a smart TV makes way more sense even if you don't use the smart features.

The "jump back in" feature and the "new tab" button not actually opening a new tab until you tell it where to go are what annoys me the most right now. I wish I could go back to the old, saner behavior, which was in Fenix (the "redesign") for a while.
I presume you mean the OOBE (at Windows install) where you get to choose between "Required" and "Optional" telemetry; we have that in the US as well.

To your additions to the comment above: the point of large nonces is that you always just use random nonces; you retain the RNG point of failure (which you almost certainly have anyways) but you don't have the "concurrent counters" problem anymore, since you're never going to use counters as a nonce (or, if you do, you do so in addition to a 128 bit random nonce).

A nice property of the XChaCha+Blake scheme proposed here is that Blake doesn't have any nonce dependency at all, and most of the terror of nonce misuse comes from how the MAC deals with repeated nonces, not how the underlying stream cipher does (though, obviously, a reliably repeating nonce gives you a pretty devastating confidentiality failure).

Rust Is Not a Good C Replacement
My consistent answer to the "if companies weren't allowed to spy on you and do other horrible shit, and if ad dollars dried up, all these sites would go away!" argument is that all those sites have value approaching zero anyway. So they go away. Oh well.

The Web loses 1% of its decent content, while the remaining 99% gets higher visibility, more funding, more interest/attention (which can improve quality, as in, say, collaborative communities like Wikipedia, or open source). The rest of the cost is the loss of a bunch of shit content that most people could/would replace with time-wasters like sudoku or Tetris or entertainment magazines, and carry on with life. Seems like a bargain to me.

I agree, just think that a developer-first culture would not allow it to happen.
The company behind a bot buys goods with the intention of selling them later, and since this does not change the overall supply of goods, it should not have much effect on prices. Loose monetary policy and excess government spending do cause inflation. The bill is being pushed to distract people from these causes.

When Apple ported the classic Finder to OS X they added a NeXT-style "browser" mode (browse between folders inside of a single window) in addition to the Classic MacOS mode (each folder is its own window).

Unfortunately, they did a very poor job of trying to blend the two modes into a single user interface, to the point that ruined both modes.

A signature feature of the classic mode is that each folder window saves its own customizable view state. Whenever you return to a folder is looks exactly the way you left it.

Unfortunately, browser mode clobbers the classic view state of any folder you visit. There's no way to customize the look of a specific folder (like /Applications) and have it stick, because the settings are always getting rewritten by the last browser window to visit the folder.

Similarly, there's no way to set a preferred browser window size or style. Instead, it always adopts the classic view state of the first folder you open. And as you browse around the view state of that first folder spreads to all other folders you visit.

If you open a folder that has no classic view state, you get a hard-coded default browser window. You see this tiny hard-coded default browser whenever you create a new folder on your desktop and open it.

I think they help by siloing the snooping.

Our smart TV seems to actively try to figure out what is attached to the HDMI. Its probably reporting that back. At least every time I plug my notebook into the tv it seems to wait at least 20 seconds before forcing me to select "PC" as the input device. The old tv the notebook shows up instantaneously.
so does my code editor but I wouldn't consider it good design if I have to paste code in the form of jpgs because it caps at 140 characters per file

I think there is a risk of over complicating the rules in doing all that you suggest. Baring in mind copyright law affects everyone, having something that is easy to reason with is definitely a feature rather than a problem.

That all said, I do think the concept of different terms for different rights is an interesting idea that deserves more discussion.

The propagandists have confused you and many others on this topic. Telling lies or BS is absolutely not censorship. When something is not allowed to be said or published, or is soft-censored by muting its distribution...that is censorship.

One reason avoiding censorship is so important is that a lot of times, the truth is trampled by doing so. Remember Galileo. And while it is being trampled, guess what the truth is called? "Lies".
What's your perspective on reusing the same key between XChaCha20 and Blake3 invocations? While not necessarily a footgun in practice, reusing the same key between two contexts is generally avoided as a matter of good cryptographic hygiene.

You could either require a single larger key that's (effectively) a key for each cipher concatenated with one-another, or use one 256-bit key from which you derive independent keys via a pass through the hashing function. I personally prefer something closer to the former, since it requires less cryptography in general and there aren't many situations where you're sweating the size difference between 512-bit keys vs. 256-bit keys.

I suspect most systems implementing XChaCha20+Blake3 just reuse the key, which is probably fine... but it leaves a bad taste in my mouth and seems like just another potential risk that's not all that difficult to sidestep. And we're going to feel really dumb one day if it turns out there is a way to exploit that kind of key reuse after all.
The mobile site is actually half-decent. You can download the MP3s and listen to them in something like VLC as well.
