I forgot the Sidewalk is a thing. While that tech does kind of do what OP was saying, Sidewalk is limited to only Amazon Sidewalk compatible devices, like the echo line and ring. Just at a quick glance, there are no smart TVs that can connect to that network.
That said, it is an opt out service, which it awful. No smart TVs will connect, but I’d recommend disabling for anyone that uses Amazon devices.
Yea, this paragraph feels like fear mongering. I’m not saying OP didn’t see that somewhere, but from a tech standpoint, the TV still has to authenticate with any device it’s trying to piggy back off the wifi for. Perhaps if there were any open network in range it could theoretically happen, but I’m guessing that it’s not.
I do remember reading that some smart TV was able to use the speakers as a mic to record in room audio and pass that out if connected. It may have been a theoretical thing but it might have been a zero day I read about. It’s been some years now.
I wouldn’t take this as an attack on your character like you’ve said. It’s drawing a correlation between that situation and your opinion.
BLM when it started is all about bringing attention and equality to black individuals and communities. Think of it as black people saying, “hey, we matter too”. Conservatives, as a means to attack and weaken the movement said, “not just black lives matter, all lives matter” which is true, but all lives matter doesn’t bring attention to the parity between black people’s situations and white’s.
My first reaction when reading your post was similar to the person you responded to, but not because I think your a bad person, but maybe because of a misunderstanding or skewed view of what feminism is and stands for.
If you had said, feminism shouldn’t exist because males matter too, then I would have said you’re intentionally being like the all lives matter crowd with the intent of keeping the disparity between genders in place. But you didn’t.
There are the obvious options that can’t work due to the general mode anti cheat software, but over the past 1.5 years, I’ve only had a couple of steam games where I had to tweak something because it didn’t work out the gate. Every major title I’ve played worked first try.
I tried Linux a couple times over the bast 20+ years and it was still too raw for me. Now, it just works for me. I’m by no means a Linux guru but I am a computer smart guy. I setup a laptop with Mint for my brother who knows the bare minimum about computers, and he’s had no issues using it. The progress made over the past decade has been wildly positive.
This makes Linux desktop a viable option for millions of users where it wasn’t before. It’s absolutely a battle between Linux and Windows.

I disagree with you, but I can see how he could give someone some unfounded heeby jeebies. They way that he talks has a tone to it like he’s doing something shady, even when he’s just talking.
Depending on which albums you listened, Take me Back to Eden and Even in Arcadia have a lot more metal to them than their first two. I think Vore and Infinite Baths have to be two of their hardest off the top of my head. They also often times have heavy breakdowns in their songs taking something more mellow to being more metal.
I don’t know where I’d truly classify them. You have a song like Vore and then DYWTYLM on the same album and they are very different. I think overall if I was going in not knowing them, I’d have gone with some sub genre of hard rock. Really I’m not a purist or anything like that and couldn’t tell you one sub genre from the next, so to me it’s rock music, which also encompasses metal.
But I would recommend listening to their latest two albums if you listened to This Place Will Become Your Tomb and Sundowning. I personally think they’re more enjoyable because they’re a bit harder and that’s part of why they’ve exploded over the last few years.
I also hate the technology FWIW. It has minimal real benefits, is extremely powerful hungry, and steals data with credit. It’s existence has made the world a significantly worse place.
Code readability is important, but in this case I find it less readable. In every language I’ve studied, it’s always taught to imply the previous condition, and often times I hear or read that explicitly stated. When someone writes code that does things differently than the expectation, it can make it more confusing to read. It took me longer to interpret what was happening because what is written breaks from the norm.
Past readability, this code is now more difficult to maintain. If you want to change one of the age ranges, the code has to be updated in two places rather than one. The changes aren’t difficult, but it would be easy to miss since this isn’t how elif should be written.
Lastly, this block of code is now half as efficient. It takes twice as many compares to evaluate the condition. This isn’t a complicated block of code, so it’s negligible, but if this same practice were used in something like a game engine where that block loops continuously, the small inefficiencies can compound.
Apart from the bias, that’s just bad code. Since else if executes in order and only continues if the previous block is false, the double compare on ages is unnecessary. If age <= 18 is false, then the next line can just be, elif age <= 30. No need to check if it’s also higher than 18.
This is first semester of coding and any junior dev worth a damn would write this better.
But also, it’s racist, which is more important, but I can’t pass up an opportunity to highlight how shitty AI is.
Name and shame. Who’s the link aggregator?
I feel they may have been something of a catalyst that got other providers to start upping the speed. At this point, a lot of service providers offer at least 1 gig download speeds, with fiber being synchronous often. Some places offer up to 10 gigs to residential.
If you aren’t playing a game that has kernel mode anti cheat, like League of Legends, then your gaming experience will probably be the same if not better.
Eh… This isn’t like, “I think Nutella on my cheeseburger is good” and more like, “US slavery was good for the slaves to learn skills”. Yea, unpopular, but the spirit of the question is malicious and doesn’t deserve a positive response. It reads as someone using this specific forum as a way to just say shitty things without consequences.
If OP had legitimately made a case with specifics, accurate dates, and actually made an argument rather than a statement, maybe it vould meet and acceptability threshold.
As a ServiceNow dev/admin, I support this opinion so hard.
This one clip is all I need to hear to know everything I need to know about how shitty this guy is. Never watched a stream or clip of his before in my life.
I really want someone to try this and report back. It really does feel like something that could execute.
They’re conservative nut bags
I’m not thrilled that it came to the point that someone had to get shot to make the world a better place. I would have preferred it if Kirk changed his tune or just disappeared into the nothing. Instead, he continued to spread hateful rhetoric that has directly lead to others getting hurt or having their freedoms taken away. The world was immediately a better place the moment that bullet hit. I have empathy for those close to and that loved Kirk and are mourning his loss, but that’s met with the cautious optimism I have that those two kids have a chance at a better future.
Not you specifically, but this is pretty much the exact thing that I’ve seen non Americans calling for for months. Calls for why are Americans aren’t doing something about our Trump problem. Now when someone pulls the trigger and a domino falls, people around the world are clutching their pearls.
I’m not calling for violent action, but I’m also not going to look a gift horse in the mouth. When life gives you fascists, you make fertilizer.
If you could go back in time or have someone else do it and kill young adult Hitler, would you do it or condone that action?
