I would also put a good bit of the blame on executives and marketing people being way out of touch with the average person.

to get something as flexible as my android tv i’d need an nvidia shield and those are going on ten years old at this point. maybe if/when they do a hardware refresh, assuming sideloading isn’t completely impossible by then.

Yeah. To be honest on the DNS side it would probably be far easier to just do a whitelist instead, block everything except your specific service. and yeah, its a stupid amount of work. i hate smart tvs but i’ll be damned if im gonna pay extra for a streaming box =|

just saying its possible

It’s relatively easy to restrict a smart tv to TLS/HTTPS traffic only using your router and a dns adblocker.

him being friends with mehdi (electroboom) is good enough for me. i personally found derek annoying years ago but he and his team seem to be putting some serious work into their episodes these days. one i saw recently had animation on par with the Cosmos reboot from a while back.

EDIT: Talking about people like tyler, you were just providing neutral commentary which I appreciate.

original comment: Jesus, people on the internet are like fucking elephants. One mistake, even if it’s corrected and they change, and a creator gets branded for the rest of their career. What a joke, acting like people can’t change from experience.

oh shit this is FASCINATING. i’m glad you had a landlord that at least dealt with the problem instead of blaming you after the first couple times.

consumer level copyright infringement is generally a civil matter, not a criminal one. you’d have to be doing something like selling bootleg dvds for it to turn into a criminal issue.

fair enough, i guess that’s an option with that kinda dough.

Even then you’d be dealing with the hassle of moving a heavy, expensive appliance to a new home.

My parents seem to move every 15 years or so, i have no clue what a normal amount is.

Linus and Luke from LTT were talking about this the other day, how you can spend like 20-30 grand on a sub-zero or some other fancy brand fridge, and it will last 50 years like appliances used to. But when you sell your house eventually it will add NO value, the buyer is just going to see “great, the house comes with a fridge like it’s supposed to”. So unless you plan to take the fridge with you from house to house and go through the trouble of replacing it with something normal when you do then the economics just don’t work for most people anymore.

Mine will chase after something if i throw it but then she expects me to come pick it up and throw it the other direction haha.

i like this, it removes the “traditional” gender expectations from the saying, while also bringing any other members of the immediate family into the equation.

you get it. glad you found something that helps, took me a while to find a med combo that worked to help me “logic” my way through the emotions. they’re still there, but i’m able to bitch slap them into submission more easily.

hah, computers have had the same drive rail layout for so long that i didn’t even notice! .^_.

what, do i dare ask, are the computer holes?

see, this is why we millienials throw so many lols into our text communication. so people know it’s not super serious lol.

i wonder how much extra stress access to instant non-verbal communication has added to humanity. like for thousands of years you could only talk to someone face to face or wait three months for a letter to arrive. we never really had to try and translate someone’s intent without the aid of vocal tone and body language until pretty recently.
