I haven't had one since 2006. I haven't missed it, nor do I watch any streaming services apart from the occasional documentary that generally leaves me disappointed.
Then it will be the classic "Do you want to opt-in?" popup with two options: "Yes" and "Ask later" with a lack of a No button. Just show this every time the TV is powered on, and getting "consent" is a matter of weeks at best.
The latest Sony TV's that offer Google TV can leverage "Basic Mode" which disables the 'smart' functionality leaving you with a dumb TV with best-in-class picture quality.

Logging should be considered separately from what you do with an error inside the code. Log your errors.

Then when the customer calls you and says "it crashes but i have no idea what i was doing" you can just have them send you the log instead of trying to guess what happens.
What's interesting is there are roles out there where you are not permitted to participate in bug bounty programs. I've worked a few positions where the company outright refused to allow compensation and I wouldn't have been authorized to sign an NDA on behalf of my company just to report issues to a third party.

It created a lot of friction but I kind of understand the policy.
10BASE-T only uses 2 wires to xmit doesn't it?
> Some may argue that there's no need to be dramatic and that there's nothing wrong in seeing an occasional ad every now and then.

Oh, no, I am very dramatic about this. I will go to any lengths not to see advertising. I will entirely forgo any platform that shows me even one ad, especially when I pay them. Amazon Prime video is already pushing it with their preroll previews. The second it's something else I'm canceling and going back to P2P. Fuck 'em.
My point was that the hypersensitive treatment of children's bodies seems to promote child hypersexualization at the cultural level.

The OP of this thread's life was wrecked in such a way that suggests our cultural norms are unhealthy.

It is therefore noteworthy to study extreme cultural practices which are HEAVILY legislated in the US (28% of 14-17 year olds report having been sexually victimized), almost always treated in a manner which results in trauma for both victim and actor, yet in a similarly advanced culture (with only 296 total child sex abuses reported last year), is literally a game you play and laugh about.
On the other side of the coin, AWS communicated they were shutting down EC2-Classic. With years of notice, and then on the cut off date, is still slowly winding it down. :) Love AWS
If the % of people who don't connect their smart TV to internet is small, then the % of people who will go through the trouble of soldering their TV (and voiding their warranty) is essentially 0%.
The "MAGA death cult" is literally the product of questioning authority. It's a situation where the establishment has lost control, leaving a vacuum of authority filled by TV personalities, conspiracy theorists, and complete randos.
And I would be surprised if they did... the belief in these sorts of tech urban legends/conspiracy theories that some seemingly techie people have is cringeworthy.

And no, Facebook/Instagram aren't listening to users either, it would need too much bandwidth/server power to process all those conversations, and if you say "they can do the speech recognition on the users' phones", the majority of users use budget phones that don't have that sort of power.
Which hosting company are you referring to?
I thought this was going to be an article about how a (real) bakery could be thought of as a state machine, and how, armed with with that knowledge, I could enter the bakery business and take over the industry.
Another case in point: my TCL series 5 has made 11K (!!!) DNS requests for scribe.logs.roku.com, just last month.

As a matter of fact, it's now the top-blocked domain in my pi-hole.

It's a shame Roku won't allow you to at least opt-out of telemetry.

> I sometimes wonder how much US tech productivity is built on a foundation of ADHD med over-prescription.

Probably somewhere between zero and a negative impact. I tried this briefly some years ago after hearing so much about productivity gains, then tried again once or twice after that. I quickly realized that while in the initial afternoon of the first use you may see some benefits, this come at the expense of later productivity. I'd say it is not too different from the impact of caffeine on sleep in this regard.

People just like taking these meds, they like the high it gives and the chemical induced "feeling productive" rush makes it easy to tell yourself a nice story about why you're taking them and what they're doing for you, but I don't think they're actually producing any real productivity gains.
I was looking at the trend over years, Tesla was high, then low, then it's trending up again. VW is trending down. Nissan was #1 by a massive margin and it's going down into oblivion almost
I was really under impression that Thomas Currian will make Google cloud a little more reliable. Less cool (even worse tech ) but more reliable: good documentation, reliable servers, good management console, and good support (think Rackspace in olden days).

I guess that is not happening. AWS is good enough and Azure is a mess but at least support personal is trained.

> I feel the judgment of the Court of Appeal over-simplified a very complex issue. They said that juries had been weighing up evidence for hundreds of years and that there was no reason to believe they couldn't do it now. They said that the jury should “evaluate evidence and reach a conclusion not by means of a formula, mathematical or otherwise, but by the joint application of their individual common sense and knowledge of the world to the evidence before them”.

Advocating "intuitive" interpretation of probabilities using "common sense" is a dreadful idea. From toy problems like Monty Hall and the Two Envelope Paradox, to genuine failures of intuition like drug testing and clinical test interpretation, it's pretty clear that human "common sense", even that of professional mathematicians is always not capable of intuiting around even fairly simple scenarios.

> dangerous, seditious thing to think

I think maybe you're spending too much time online.

> and those experts

Not sure why you keep calling political entities 'experts'. They are definitely experts of their political domains, but this claim of their prime importance on climate change matters seems to be your own.

To go back to what I'm guessing is your concern: No one's coming to steal your right to drive a Tesla, but more people might just opt to not own their own vehicle, as public transport options improve. If 50 years from now, people are able to use shared transport to get door-to-door from city A to city B, and at a similar (or better) speed, for less money, the demand for vehicles may drop. As autonomous vehicles are getting better, it's only a matter of time.
Makes a lot of sense to me — make the atmosphere do a lot of the heavy lifting rather than fuel.
Still not sure how they get away with beta testing safety features on public roads. Or, how drivers who choose to participate get to decide for the rest of us that we must participate too.

The idea that you're going to give a vehicle complete control, but constantly monitor for errors and make a split second decision to manually correct is flawed. As long as this is required, the feature shouldn't be allowed on public roads.

At what point is it fraudulent?
If you have children you have a moral imperative to pirate content and prevent this from infecting their lives.

There's a part of me that wonders if this wasn't by necessity.

I went into Best Buy just before Christmas and they had Google TVs and Amazon TVs everywhere, prominently displayed and fully stocked. They only had 2-3 little Roku TV's hidden in the back corner that I had to ask somebody to even find.

If I go into Sam's Club or Walmart, I can find Roku everywhere with great options.

It made me wonder if the other vendors were trying to push Roku out and because of that they were forced into a deal with Walmart to remain viable.

> I have made some of my best lifelong friends from old jobs, and wouldn't give up those relationships for anything. Really good people are worth keeping close in your life, and I don't buy the "million fish in the sea" argument.

If you've made multiple high value, life long friends at work then how can you not buy that argument? From a relatively small pond you've landed multiple great catches.
Eh, no. Tesla has trended down in market share over the five years since 2017.
In brief, bad sh*t happens when the cash stops flowing. Worse sh*t happens when bad sh*t happens too often or too long. Beliefs are (much?) stronger than facts and much more persistent. The herd is blind and quite dangerous - this was covered in Men in Black.
I think the GP meant that you wouldn't normally want to try to use an ADC for digital communication because the general-purpose ADCs in, e.g. microcontrollers are either overkill (10 bits just to detect a level!?) or too slow (max sampling rate) to do high-performance I/O. You'd be better off using an existing protocol with just two voltage levels and the GPIO pins. You can make an analog circuit to transform the two voltage levels you do have into the (typically 0-5V) levels detected by the GPIO on the microcontroller.
Just cancelled Disney+ with the one worded reason: commercials
Exactly the same. I read it as 10GBASE-T and my eyebrows hit my ceiling.
It's called a large computer monitor or projector, but you have to pay a lot more because it's not being subsidized by ads or surveillance.
The title of this makes me annoyed. What parity? They're both abstract made up units that happened to be even on a random scale for a while. This is financial numerology :-(

(yes, I know there's more content and "this week's currency summary" sounds less fun and I should chill out)
The existing options for monitors, suitable for use as a TV, are extremely limited. For TVs 55" and 65" are common, for monitors there were just a few, which were dumb TVs basically. And then there are bigger sizes, different types of panels (there are no 4K QD-OLED monitors for example) that are not available for monitors.
I think, if telemetry and ads are concern, buying TV without connecting it to the internet (using Apple TV or a homelab media server) is a better choice for many TV buyers.
Once you realize you know way less about everything than you thought you did, and much of what is “known” is future conjectures with many parts, you realize you can select the optimistic view.
Koenigsegg does innovate a lot in manufacturing car parts for their hypercars, if you watched Christian von Koenigsegg speak about the engineering they do its really impressive.

In some alternate universe CVK is making cars that compete with Tesla and are better. Although they make amazing products i wish he and his team of brilliant engineers would work on inexpensive cars, im almost certain they could innovate in the space.
I'm not sure I follow. I agree with what GP wrote. Their second paragraph is written in the first person. It's not a claim that everyone would do the self-serving thing. I would do the same as GP. I'd choose a set of beliefs that help me sleep at night and that make me a hoot at dinner parties instead of a Debbie Downer. I can't simply choose to do that, because those beliefs come from my experience with and observations of the world along with my deeply-held values.
> The few firmware updates I've needed to do were applied using a thumb drive

What kind of firmware updates do you need to do on it, when its only purpose is to act as a screen?
But just as sin entered the world through one man, it was defeated through one man as well, Jesus Christ. There is no condemnation for anyone who believes in Jesus. So being saved from hell is quite simple, which is why it's called "the good news" or the gospel. And that's God's plan for humanity, and he's begging you to simply seek this man named Jesus.

God's wisdom is made that much more powerful in what some might call foolishness, just as he prescribed circumcision to the Jews. Abraham was required to put off his pride and simply believe God, that circumcision was a commandment from God for the Jews, and this faith in God is what saves. You don't think Abraham received a lot of judgement for prescribing circumcision?

Just as Christians receive judgement for prescribing the new circumcision, which is the circumcision of the heart to believe in Jesus Christ. It requires people to put off their pride, realize their very nature offends God (because he is perfect so anything less than perfect is an offense to him) and repent of their unbelief in the only begotten son of God, who knew our same struggles here on Earth and was killed without reason so that we could live. This belief covers our heads from wrath, because now when God looks at us he sees Christ.

So it's called the good news because it is. We can defeat death and enter into an unimaginable state of perfection. What I find with people who don't believe is that they're blinded by what they think Christianity is. So for you I would say you're blinded by the problem of hell. But if God tells us it is real, that is true and you have no say in the matter. Your belief or unbelief doesn't change the truth of the word of God. God is above politics, above human wisdom, and also above the people that claim his name.

I should note that I used to have the same opinion as you! No judgement!
they’re massively shooting themselves in their feet

It doesn't matter. Google operates at scale. As long as they save more money by not bothering to handle such incidents better, they will see it as a perfectly good business policy.

Incidents like this turn customers off for life.

Small customers are completely interchangeable for larger service providers. You can easily get new customers by throwing around some free credits to college kids and posting a few tech ads masqueraded as tutorials.
The whole "void warranty if any changes are made" is mostly not enforcable in Europe and as I understand it in some part in the US. In Germany, you would just have to proof that your change is not the culprit of the damage. I.e. if your OLED panel breaks, you can still claim warranty.
The scheme in question is IronScheme. Bob wrote the office integration. Leppie wrote the rest.
Doesn’t the article state that lots of data the government collected was just incorrect in obvious ways? 29% of facilities ProPublica contacted said the EPA’s data on them was wrong.

And why didn’t the government pay for an interface and analysis that the public could easily use?

I think people believe their tax money could be spent more wisely and competently.
I have an LG C1, which is an amazing TV, but even after disabling every single ad-related option, I'll still occasionally get a pop-up ad when the TV turns on.
I am planning to migrate from smart tv to just panel + some android tv box. Any suggestions for the box? Needs to be android for some local tv apps to work.
I don’t get it, are they being held against their will? Can’t they go work at numerous other remote work companies?
Things like dual clutch gearboxes seem to an example of something that originated in exotic cars and have made the transition to low end cars.

I have a very humble Skoda with DSG and it works really well even though it has a 1L engine :-)
Of course, after all smart TVs have an ongoing revenue stream from ads and analytics. Despite having more capabilities, Smart TVs are also regularly cheaper than equivalent "dumb TVs".
Quart : pint pot ?
What they do over at Koenigsegg is amazing, i feel like most people arent aware at the incredible things they do, CVK is an amazing engineer too and its awesome watching him speak about the cars.
I wouldn't be so sure that will happen to Alphabet before it does to Amazon or MS. Nothing lasts forever, though IBM aren't actually showing any signs of dying outright yet, despite the fact their own attempt to get into the cloud platform market hasn't exactly been inspiring (even if they were only ever intending to cater for niche markets).
Don’t those giant mining dump trucks have electric motors on each wheel? Although that’s probably for the low rpm torque advantage like diesel electric trains.
That's the beauty of great click bait. A word or idiom can mean different things now to people from different social nets. "Downfall" here could mean in terms of sales, or it could mean in industry reputation, or even more things even the author isn't aware of. Either way the headline has apparently tested well probably due to its controversial meaning.
I never saw 10base5 coax, but I worked in a lab in the day with massive thick 15 pin cables everywhere (AUI?), and 4 port hubs (that is combine 4 computers into one uplink that I supposed eventually went to coax in the ceiling, though I only saw it go to yet another such hub. The office was 10baseT already, but the lab had a lot of older computers.
I would like to do the same.
Then I'll need a dark room to reveal the shots? It's' the old school way, right?
Does Sony have a history of remotely disabling or otherwise changing their hardware features? Because if they do, this Basic Mode is at their pleasure.
I agree that the quality is disappointingly bad, and this was the main driver behind my decision to not buy an replacement.
AFAIK it's at least still opt-in (different checkbox on-setup and all), and you can outright disable the APK on Android/Google TV.
So as of today, mid 2022 ... there is still again ONE only reliable cloud?

How can a company fight the so called "vendor lock-in" without opening their own data center?

The only alternative I see is just really going against the flow - use simpler hosting services, etc.... but who does that nowadays?
The amount of seemingly pro-religious chatter in here is really surprising to me.

I grew up in essentially a cultish variation of southern Baptist and have extensive experience with other denominations of “Christianity” and there is no way in fucking hell I would ever say a damn positive thing about the social clubs that are 99% of churches. Religion is almost entirely about control.

The current state of this country is due to the evangelical movement and all the bullshit that has come with it.

American “religion” and its followers can rot.
I feel like these anti-consumer practices by BigCorp can open the door for new companies to emerge on the market: build an ad-free tv, ad-free smartphones etc. Or is it just the effect of me living in a bubble while 99.9% of the customers don't care about this?
Intent matters, and EU DPOs and courts have already begun striking back against dark patterns [0] years ago.

It's interesting that they don't want to sign an NDA when there's absolutely nothing in it for them. Utterly astonishing. I'm hopping mad.
The parent comment answers itself. They would choose it because they actually don't have the alternative choice. In fact, aside from the transient young Teach for America type affluent idealists, most (not "all") urban public school teachers are gloried babysitters making good babysitting wages. If they teach kids anything it's usually something that should be untaught asap. By and large, the long hauler, professional urban public school teachers are not the type of people who have a ton of useful skills. In fact, the social skills useful for dealing with adults usually atrophy so even being a Software Project Manager is off the table. They become prisoners as much as the students, who at least have a definite term to serve and can get out early for bad behavior. For most kids, urban public schools are a policy solution to the social problem of young, unattended kids causing havoc, not a viable educational tool. Considered in that light they work pretty well.
Hahaha, I have to rescind my offer to explain it in more detail. I can’t think of anything less interesting than a whole thread of “What about activity X? Surely activity Y? He didn’t even consider activity Z, WHAT A MONSTER! His silence on Q is telling.”

I like what I do (even if I might not like what I’m doing on any given day) and this lets me do it in a way that doesn’t cause any damage.

I don’t have anything to sell you. I’ll write it up if I can find a way to make money off it, if not I’m happy to keep chugging along in obscurity.
So "most" programs can ignore birth dates of people older than 52? I don't think so.
There are many kinds of club, and there are many reasons to have a drink by yourself, most of which are not about anybody’s sorrows. Maybe you like the music, for example, but aren’t in the mood for company.

But if we want to assume Musk was drowning his sorrows, and that it’s an EDM dance club — this seems to be your implication, maybe it’s true — then I still don’t find it weird. Darkness, distraction, the desire to be among people but also alone, avoiding your entourage… plenty of good reasons.
The issue is that the eink company has a monopoly in the market mainly due to them owning lots of patents. Also they seem to be only caring of the wholesale market, thus their new tech for the DIY/hacker crowd arrives always with a significant delay.

If I understand the article, the author says that the camera, instead of filling the full 36mm frame on each shot, only fills half. Regular processing, then, takes these pairs of half photos and prints two on each "regular" print, producing the paired effect. Clever choice of what will go in each frame determines the outcome.

Wow. Thanks for the head's up. I have Disney+ and have not yet seen this, but I'm done as soon as it does.
That’s not true? The problem with spinning is the pulling to the outside, not the going faster. With a straight track/tube you only have the go faster forces not the pull to the outside
Jupiter, not Saturn.
In some ways it is less though, as the larger CPU on the pi has things like cache that mess with your timing, while with the smaller CPUs you can lookup exactly how long each instruction will take and thus get the timing right. In the end though, both are very impressive, the hardware just gives different challenges to work with.

edit, reading more I realized the pi pico isn't doing this on the main cpu, but on the PIC (which isn't on a normal pi I think). I have no idea what that is able to do, but it changes the above.
There can be all kinds of fixes and features in the FW for the various display modes. From SDR to HDR to audio settings.
