Conversely, I want the ac controls on physical buttons because when I'm in driving and am in direct sunlight, or when I've just jumped in the car after doing some heavy work, I want ice cold Antarctic air blowing on my face. The ambient temperature of the general cabin is irrelevant to me. I do not want to be hunting around through menus to find the ac fan control slider.

Right, but 480K per hour clearly isn't going to contain a bunch of 4K screenshots, so it must be doing local analysis.

The blurb above says that the TVs uploads screenshots when viewing antenna and hdmi input sources, which is what most people are reacting to here. The actual article is paywalled.

However other articles go into more detail and note that only a few KB of data per hour is actually uploaded, so the TV must be doing image analysis locally and uploading metadata only.

As with smoking, vaping can be very irritating to people nearby who don't want to smoke, so it's not simply a matter of letting people do what they want, it's about behaving in a manner that is socially acceptable when living among other people.

Wine (wine is not (an) emulator) is a reimplementation of the windows api set. It's literally starting windows again from scratch.

Isn't that what wine is ?

The problem is that the settings app has consistently been a dumbed down, feature-sparse version of what was in the control panel for the bits it has replaced. Tweaks that experienced users have relied on for decades are simply missing in the settings app, forcing them to go back to the control panel

If Microsoft actually re-implemented all the knobs and dials in control panel then I wouldn't be so irritated, but we've been shown for the last several years that they only bother migrating the most commonly used settings.

Maybe they're using the phone line for their Internet ? Vsdl etc...
