We have a HiSense 60” and have never connected it to any network. It works perfectly as a Dumb Monitor with multiple HDMI inputs and HDCP and HDMI-CEC work perfectly with our AppleTV (HDMI 1) and PS5 (HDMI2) We have TOSLink Optical Audio to an Amp(receiver) and it works almost perfectly, until the Amp chucks a hissy-fit because people forget to turn it off.

Rumour is that the Shahid Drones use Discord as a backend for Command and Control.

That was what I was going to say.

That said, if someone detects some sort of data-mining plagiarism bot sucking down everything on an instance, it can be defederated very quickly.

It’s not about the current state of their OS, it is about the corporate attitude to users.

Microsoft are treating users not as valued customers purchasing a product, but as a resource to be manipulated and sold off to the cheapest bidder.

They may have backflipped on actual ads in the Start Menu, purely due to user backlash, but they still have game/app/bullshit recommendations and reinstalled garbage, unless you are a windows sysadmin and know jo to use a Profile Editor.

People want companies to stop trying to exploit them in every little way.

We can be satisfied by respecting us and treating us as customers, even when advertisers are throwing money at them.

I think you a both right. Historically, Semites referred to a large cultural group.

Over time, it has become a nonsense word because those cultural groups have become so dilute and diverse that you can’t point at someone and say they are part of that group.

More recently, the label has become misappropriated by some sort of whacky religious nutbaggery so they can oppress other people.

Considering that Ethnic Palestinians are the original Semites, and most of the Zionist are “repatriated” jewish people from all around the world, I find it ironic that they claim any sleight against them to be antisemitic.

The thing is that he DeLorean DMC-12 was also built from uncoated brushed stainless-steel and it was terrible.

The only reason why people remember the DMC was because it was such a failure and BTTF.

The only reason it was in BTTF was because it was such a hilarious joke that a DMC could get above 60Mph in a mall carpark.

I agree, It would be 3 weeks at least.

Seriously though, raw brushed stainless steel was a terrible idea.

With Xitter, Cybertruck and all the other whacky things going on, it is a wonder that Musk has any financiers left at all.

Probably one of the most honest policy changes they’ve made.

Some people think that Google is trustworthy. They still believe that the motto “Do No Evil” was ever relevant.
