The only passenger in the car when an American citizen was shot and killed by a federal officer in South Texas last year had planned to speak up and contradict the government’s account of the shooting. However, the passenger, Joshua Orta, died in an unrelated car crash over the weekend.

    You can and should get non-smart TVs and projectors: Look up commercial displays (absolutely worth the extra cost).

      Of course. My point is that we might see a return of these kind of devices to the consumer market if they can’t afford to build smart-televisions to drop on the consumer market.

          I haven’t bought a new TV since 2010 and it wasn’t a smart TV.

          Since then I have only bought monitors.

          My car was built in 1999 because I am poor. I try to ride my bike or walk as much as possible to put fewer miles on my old shitbox car plus for the environment and less traffic yadda yadda.

          Fuck me go be a contrarian jerk elsewhere please. I’m obviously not part of the problem here.

              Weirder than responding to someone who obviously understands the issue to stop buying them?

              Weirder than ignoring the entire original point which is that they won’t have the ability to make new ones because of parts shortages, and to keep making them they’ll have to resort to making models that don’t include those features?

              Yeah, OK.
