Might be for the best. A family friend died not that many years ago after a seemingly sudden onset of progressive neurological deterioration. The decade before, he'd become much more religious, describing to me what he felt as "grace" - short, intense emotional periods where he saw the world like a newborn and was overcome with wonder. If only we'd realized.

He was a lifelong deer hunter, lived in the woods for a few weeks every year, field dressing, butchering, and eating his kills the traditional way. Our area has CWD cases, and while he was going through it, I asked if he'd ever tested or been tested, and he said no, he'd been told it wasn't contagious to humans.
Again, this makes absolutely no sense to me. I've never experienced any of the problems you're facing and I can't imagine how they'd even cause problems.
It’s probably the same set of people that want us all to live in 400 sqft apartments and cannot fathom sitting more than four feet away from the screen.
I'd say that the TV is to blame: it's claiming to be tens of thousands of different TVs, and Windows is dutifully keeping track of them and their configurations. Sure, Windows should be able to handle more devices on the home network than could fit within your average warehouse, but an issue like that should only crop up if you actually, y'know, try to do that.

Have used Windows PCs connected to my TVs since about 2006 .. so agree in principle. :-)

My pet pieve with my current Samsung QLed 4K 65" (2016) is just how sluggish changing input sources is - when wanting to go between the Xbox and the PC. Have never tried any of its other features, can't imagine they'd be anything other than horrible.

The display is a very nice monitor otherwise! Still very good colours. Windows with a Logitech media keyboard is awesome. Zwift, Spotify, Internet media all plays back very nicely.
It’s also still available on Spain.

mi2 was 11 floppies (plus another to hold saves).

On the basic 68000 based models it was kinda slow. And without a hard disk nor over 1mb memory, it was a lot of floppy swapping.

As someone who hasn't used windows since Win7, I'm amazed people are blaming windows for this.

While all software is buggy to some extent, Hisense TV is probably maliciously changing their UUID so users cant block their telemetry, or their ads, etc.

I think this is okay.

People make unreasonable complaints to all sorts of law enforcement, and as long as CPS is telling them to adjust their expectations, nothing bad has happened.

That's the only way things will ever improve. Deliberately meeting the expectations of unreasonable people will only make things worse.

I am also of the times where 95/98 were "current", but we had nothing else - and for a long time. Computers were crazy expensive in Eastern Europe so were replaced rarely. That's why Windows 95 was commonplace even in 2004, especially in schools.
95 was much worse than anything later, but it brings fond memories of a first sent e-mail, first family computer etc. This is what DC was trying to revive.
This is because all of them using low powered CPU/RAM. Similar to all other STB out there.

> There's billboard displays (like the ones you find in airports, shops, practices, etc) but those are only sold to private entities

Most of these are resold by niche small businesses but I don't see any incentive for them to reject a private individual buying it? In the UK I got mine from https://www.projectorpoint.co.uk/displays (no affiliation beyond being a satisfied customer) and after wiring them the money I got it next day.

I've had good experience with Sony professional displays (model number FW-65BZ35F) - they are reasonably priced and come with stock Android TV with very little bloatware. My understanding is that these Sony units are not billboard displays or optimized for high-brightness/24H runtime, they're what looks like standard consumer hardware just running a different firmware - the upside is that the price is actually competitive with consumer-grade TVs.

It is important to differentiate between suburbs and sprawl. Many of the old suburbs are still dense, walkable, have a diverse mix of single and multi family housing with some small retail scattered in. However, that is not what most people think about when they think about American suburbs.

Lets say it isn't a TV but a malicious person trying to cause damage to your system. It is a security issue on the side of the OS.

On the side of TV, it is also bad.

Therefore, both the TV and the OS have blame in this.
Why does anyone use a TV anymore? What does a "Smart TV" offer that you can't do better in a different way?

For years now, actually more than a decade, we just use a home-theater projector (Epson, fwiw). Audio goes into our stereo system. Set up a media center to feed the projector. If you still have cable (or equivalent), hook up the box from your cable company.

All democracies today are capitalist democracies, with varying degrees of equilibrium between the bourgeoisie and the rest.

I'm not sure you understand that communism, like any ideology, has multiple currents. The most common one today is trotskyism which specifically rejects the notion of bosses in the movement and only uses self-organization. Anarchim is also another system that works. Unfortunately no capitalist system will gently give away its power over the people for new forms of governance to be used.

The point is, this isn't a problem of kids. The kids' situation is a symptom. The problem is the adults and the hypocrisy. We say "Kids should be outside. They need more exercise and less screen time. They need more unstructured play time. Etc." But then we cry "Nooooo. Stranger danger" and phone CPS if a child is "free ranging."

Furthermore, no parent wants to be known as the CPS parent. And certainly no kid wants to be their kid. What can CPS do? It doesn't matter.The question is: what will be the reaction of your parental peers, their kids, teachers, coaches, etc., and your kid.

Even the shittiest STB-grade CPU should be perfectly capable of doing what the user wants out of their TV which is draw basic menus for settings and otherwise display the signal unaltered (the signal path is all in hardware anyway, the CPU isn't involved).

The reason it's slow is because "growth & engagement" wants that slow CPU to be doing more ("suggestions" aka ads, telemetry, garbage overdesigned UI, etc) than actually necessary.
I think it's easier to just buy whatever TV you want but never connect it to the internet. Hook it up to a Chromecast or Apple TV or a Plex box or whatever and you're good.

I've done that with last 3-4 TVs and never had an issue. And the $50 dongle is much cheaper than paying $1000 more.

We aren’t talking about MAC randomisation (which itself would cause issues if it happened every few minutes) but UUID randomisation in UPnP. It’s a completely different protocol that sits in a completely different layer on OSI to the data link layer (where MAC addresses live).

UPnP is literally just a protocol that sits on top of HTTP.

Decade-plus-something web dev experience here. I'm still an unemployable dumbass.

Been applying to both backend and frontend positions, and to me the market looks like that "fronthand backhand" Key & Peele sketch (just mentally replace with "frontend backend").

I'm only surviving so far because someone I know offered me freelance work, but it probably won't last too long, and nobody else I know is hiring for a remote (or nearby) position.

Maybe, if I lived in either of the 2 cities where 90% of the on-site developer job positions are located, maybe, things would be a bit easier.
I'm about 25 years in, and no, I don't have regrets about work stuff that I come back and think about. Partly I've been very lucky in how things have worked out, of course, but also work just isn't that big a deal in the grand scheme of things. I have a few wistful "wonder what it would have been like if I took the other fork in the road back then" thoughts sometimes, but they're not about work and career choices.

Bamboozle was great, it had "hidden" pages with numbers like "4F5" -- normal ceefax numbers were 0-9 because that's what you could enter on your remote control, the hex numbers were only reachable from the "fasttext" red/green/yellow/blue buttons, so it was hard to "cheat", the wrong answer sent you back to the beginning, you couldn't just put the number back

My main TV is a Philips OLED TV, which has some weird Android derivative baked in, but I've never connected it up to anything other than a HDMI cable, so it can't phone home and it can't trash my local WiFi network with these sort of shenanigans.

Most "smart" devices are utter garbage. I found a seller of non-smart TVs, which manufacture here in the UK, which made me particularly interested - Cello: https://celloelectronics.com/model/televisions/ (you can filter for non-smart TVs).

The problem? The picture quality and sound of the one I got (TBF, the cheapest medium-sized TV they sell) is not great. Fine for a spare bedroom for occasional use so a guest can watch something short, or in an office where I might want the news on, fine. But I couldn't watch a film on it, and it's nowhere near the level of my main TV.

Given that no smart TV manufacturer is ever going to get a single byte of data from me they can sell, I guess the joke is on them? I wish I didn't have to do this dance though: give me a smart TV where I can get the apps I choose, but the manufacturer is not ramming it full of spyware... that would be amazing.
Treating hallucinations as an error that can be corrected fights against the nature of the technology and is more hype than reality. LLMs are designed to be a bullshit generator and that’s what they are; it is a fundamental limitation. (“Bullshit” here used in the technical sense: not that it’s wrong, but that the truth value of the output is meaningless to the generator.) Thankfully the hype cycle seems to be on the down slope. Think about the term “generative AI” and what the models are meant to do: generate plausible-sounding somewhat creative text. They do that! Mission accomplished. If you think you can apply them outside that limited scope, the burden of proof is on you; skepticism is warranted.

Adding to the sibling comment:

> as long as enough people agree with me

You need to learn about the different decisions methods. Votes is actually the worst because it divides people between opposing groups. Before voting, it is always better to reach for consentment (everyone agrees), and if not, consensus (noone strongly disagrees). Rules of the society have to be set by these methods first.

> But simply sticking to companies/businesses, how are startups supposed to work?

Why are startups suppososed to work ? Do they help the democracy, or the people in it ?
Why does a startup need capital ? Who owns the capital ? Why do people need a salary ?

The capitalist system is the reason startups are what they are. In any democratic system where resources are shared, an assembly of people working on something wouldn't struggle like that.
This depends on location. Kids walk and bike where I live, but the streets are narrow and drained by open ditches, so there is more risk than streets with pedestrian access built in. Drivers are usually considerate of this and go slowly, though.
