I wish I read this comment before wasting my two minutes as well…

I had scanned through it, and it looked like the exact same stuff that Google and Microsoft say. Paraphrasing: “we value your privacy” “we’re de-identifying your data” “the processing occurs on-device”…

Apple probably is better on privacy than other big tech corpos, but it’s a race to the bottom, and they’re definitely participating in the race.

Apple is the best on privacy though right?

Why would an optional feature be a deal breaker?

It also seems like an issue that could be easily solved by whitelisting.

You better get out those tissues. They’re already starting https://www.lg.com/us/smart-monitors

Sony. I got last year’s open box for close to 1k. It runs Android so I have a ad free launcher called Projectivy and can sideload apps as well.

It’s got a compact view that is pretty much why I’d be using if I started. I think it makes sense to default to the “cozy” view, even if that is the most bass ackwards naming I’ve seen. The reason being is that “most” people prefer that view and are the same people that wouldn’t bother looking for a setting to change, they’d just nope on out because they got overwhelmed.

Default “cozy” in desktop mode

“compact” in desktop mode

I think compact looks decent in mobile view as well, but since the parent post is about desktop UI that’s what I’m showing.

I’m pretty sure “apple mail” refers to the Mail app on iPhones and Macs, not the email address. There’s probably tons of people using Gmail addresses with the Apple Mail app.

Don’t forget the current supreme court motto though: “rules for thee but not for me”. Only massive and rich corporations will be allowed around copyright rules, but you and I and indie and open source will be held to the letter of the law.

Plex has started to enshittify as well. I switched to jellyfin because Plex had features behind pay walls and kept going “oops I accidentally changed your settings so you have to look at the plex home screen with ads for our streaming service”.

Caltrian is not California High Speed Rail

No shot 4 SSDs will be the same price as a HDD of the same capacity yet. HDD is still the king of GB/$.

If I’m wrong… Can you send me some links? I could use some cheap 8TB SSDs.

Bandcamp seems decent but it’s got a small and niche catalog.

One of the concerns I would have with custom ROMs for TVs is that I think a lot of the image processing magic that makes the image look good on these high end displays is done in some proprietary method that the custom ROM wouldn’t be able to use. Either in software or in hardware.

The magic of the high end TVs isn’t actually in the panel itself as much as in the driving of the panel.

That has to be a meme post. Black Ops SIX? You’re joking. This is a picture from 2018.

The Ultimate 2.4 has right now bluetooth and hall effect sensors as well. I couldn’t get it to pair with the switch though I didn’t try super hard. It works on Bluetooth with my Android TV but for whatever reason ignores the customized buttons (I keep accidentally pressing the wing buttons on the bottom) so I use the dongle on the TV.

There’s no need to make these things Big Tech, so if that’s why you are opposed to it, reconsider what you are actually opposed to. This could be implemented in a FOSS way or an open standard.

So you not trust HTTPS because you’d have to trust big tech? Microsoft and Google and others sign the certificates you use to trust that your are sending your password to your bank and not a phisher. Like how any browser can see and validate certificates, any camera could have a validation or certificate system in place to prove that the data is straight from an unmodified validated camera sensor.

He’s already owned it for nearly two years. I’d definitely take the over on that bet. I just don’t see what Twitter could possibly do that they haven’t done already to kill it?

Cross country ski vs downhill ski

Gas being a better energy source than batteries in every way except for the health and environmental issues is a real bitch and why this is such a problem. Cords are a hassle and you will need a lot recharging batteries all the time, so you notice the downsides immediately and acutely. These are solvable problems though. Even running an efficient gas generator would be better for the health of landscaping contractors than being around 2 strokes all day.
