They’re probably talking about Samsung TVs, not their android phones/tablets. Installing jellyfin on those things can be a chore. My experience with LG was similar. The official build was out of date and riddled with issues that didn’t exist on other versions. It refused to play videos that worked well enough on other devices, transcode or no.

How does that work? Based on imei perhaps? Does spoofing that not do the trick?

Ah, if I understand this explanation right, the blob’s purpose is to do things and stuff. Is that correct?

I just checked. In the online stores of the 3 largest tech chains in my country, there’s exactly one 16:9 40+" monitor model available, and that’s a 43" VA panel. The other 40+" stuff are weird absurdly wide curved monitors and some smart whiteboard type thing. So forgive me if I am extremely doubtful of your claim.

Lemme just pluck a 52" monitor from the 52" monitor tree where 52" monitors grow bountifully.

The concept might be, but the word itself is a compound of the words “verantwortung” and “bewusstsein”. They mean responsibility and consciousness respectively, and are both perfectly common and simple words. The whole thing means what you think it does, nothing special.

German doesn’t really have those hyper specific super obscure words, they’re almost always compound words made up of common words.

Same here. My parents both smoked like chimneys. I tried smoking once. Tasted awful, smelled disgusting, and made my eyes hurt like a motherfucker. Then I tried twice again on different occasions. Same experience. Just an exceedingly nasty thing overall that had not a single thing that made me wanna go back again, so that was it. I consider myself lucky that my body found it so revolting.

Yes. It could talk to another smart device and ask it to send its packages. You could be careful and connect none of the smart crap in your house to your network, but the smart fridge in your upstairs neighbor’s kitchen could still be helping with smuggling your data out. Or your devices could be connected to some unsecured network around.

In any case, the only surefire way to stop your data from getting smuggled out is to physically kill all the wireless connectivity capabilities of the device. Disconnect antennae, desolder chips, scrape out pcb traces. Otherwise you’re just hoping the firmware is not doing anything funny. Fortunately I think these are all hypotheticals that have not (yet) been observed in real smart home products.

OP read about the “fight the biggest baddest dude you can find on your first day” strat online and didn’t stop to think about its applicability.

She sits in the window seat, goes to the toilet every 27 minutes, and refuses all offers to switch with the aisle seat.

For some reason that’s a very common thing among websites where I shop for 3d printing and electronics supplies. It’s infuriating because it forces me to cycle through all the tabs to find a specific one instead of just reading it off the god damn tab title. A gross misuse of valuable screen real estate that’s normally expected to display useful information. Fuck you.

Have you not read the relevant chapters in The Wealth of Nations?

If he meets enough Billie Eilishes he can finally have enough copper to sell and buy a house.

You said no weapons, but no mention of armor.

Wrap me in some chain mail or kevlar or whatever, and set me loose. I will rain down an ungodly firestorm upon any number of squirrels. They’re gonna have to call the United Nations and get a binding resolution to keep me from destroying them. I will massacre them. I will fuck them up.

Its niches are nowhere near as strong as reddit though. The only reason I can’t ditch reddit is small hobby subs and stuff like that. Their alternatives on lemmy are just not good enough, because of a hideous combination of lack of users and fragmentation.

Wait, don’t Bluetooth devices randomize their macs like wifi to hide their identities from unpaired devices?

Can’t have been a good week to quit sniffing glue.

They found a very interesting way of selling their hybrid cars as full on EVs where I live. Their e-power stuff are small ICEs working as generators for electric motors that then drive the wheels. Apparently the fact that the wheels get all their power from an electric motor makes it definitely not a hybrid no sir, despite the fact the cars have tiny ass batteries and the single source of power for the whole system is the ICE. Also they somehow have worse fuel efficiency than many contemporary ICEs that cost quite a bit less. I don’t understand Nissan.

The vehicles also make vibrator companies?
