But did it happen specifically in the situation described in the comment I initially replied to?
LG wants my data. Well Craftsman wants my data too. Current evidence suggests that the TV without network access is going to have as much luck reporting my data to corporate headquarters as the tools I used to mount it on the wall.
But before they can report that data, they need to be connected to the internet.
Did your TV connect to the fridge, or did your neighbor connect their fridge to your TV? Without some evidence I would be far more inclined to believe that a neighbor did something dumb (I've seen multiple of my neighbors try to connect to my offline TV via bluetooth) than that TVs connecting to fridges are slipping under the radar of tech journalists in the era when scrutiny has led to negative press for LG. Either way it's dumb that that network connection is possible, and concerning it could be possible without your consent, but it's also not nearly as bad.
Those hypotheticals sure would suck, if they ever happen. Until then you can easily avoid worrying about 2 and 3, and for 1, simply leave the PC's remote out, and put the TV's remote somewhere inaccessible.
Also for extra confidence on 1, you can often disable the TV's wireless/bluetooth scanning (so other devices can't access it), at the "cost" of the TV's own remote no longer working. At least my Samsung (QN90B) offers that.
They have cell signals, batteries, and solar panels. Many are already not plugged into anything.
There are non-destructive ways to disable them (covering them with a garbage bag, for one), but I'm also fully in favor of the destructive ways.
The police do not have unlimited power to order us around.
Quote from a lawyer in the article:
> Personal delivery devices must yield to other pedestrians and pedalcyclists in a pedestrian area
Sounds like the robot legally had to yield to her. If so, what lawful basis would the officer have had to make the order?
> but we generally don’t accept someone on a bicycle or someone skating
I see people on rented scooters/bikes on the sidewalk all the time. Society at large seems to absolutely accept this. (note that I'm commenting on the current state of affairs, not what I think ought be the case)
Humans don't literally hallucinate much, but we do lie, or are wrong.
That could make sense. I assumed it was a dig at how his current wife has had a lot of bad work done.
Both of Bezos' wives are 6 years younger than him (he's 62 and both MacKenzie Scott and Lauren Sánchez are 56). Their ages are only noteworthy for being so completely not noteworthy for a rich guy. It seems like he has age-appropriate taste in women.
I misheard the figure. He's actually the largest individual political donor ever
within a single political cycle. I've updated my comment.
I'm not really sure who the largest cumulative donor would be. I tried to find that, and didn't feel like I was getting close to the answer.
Elon is the largest individual political donor ever. I think a billionaire funding counter-protests is not that fishy in contrast.
I don't think a movement having a bit of funding for the organizers is that big of a deal though. The actual protesters are there because they want to be.
Edit: He's actually the largest individual political donor ever within a single political cycle, which is still quite significant (he's outspending the next largest in this cycle by about 3:1), but also very different. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/10/27/tracking-the-money...
I found it was something I didn't appreciate much until I had a touchscreen laptop. It doesn't fully replace the mouse or touchpad, but it is convenient enough of the time that I miss not having it. It also is a much bigger benefit when you're using the laptop by itself. But when reading something on the couch, it's helpful to scroll with a touchscreen, and it's handy to quickly interact with modal dialogs.
Android and Google Maps were both acquisitions, and Chrome was initially based on WebKit. I don't know when exactly Google started focusing on refinements, but I think it was before 2008.
That is not to say that nothing since then has been impressive, but I do think it's fair to call just about all of it incremental.
RuneScape is certainly far from the very worst of the internet, but it's still wise to be wary of Skinner boxes. Of course I don't follow that advice either.
They said they weren't working on nukes, and our intelligence community released assessments which agreed.
The level of enrichment they've been doing is higher than they need for power generation but it also isn't nearly enough to make nukes. A more reasonable explanation (given the assessments they aren't working on nukes) is that they were being deliberately provocative.
> So far as we know they never actually built one but they absolutely could and this was done under the previous leader
Right, they could, and didn't. Why? It was only 7 years from the discovery of fission to a proof of concept in the form of the trinity test. Either you assume a level of incompetence entirely divorced from Iran's efficacy on the international stage, or you accept they weren't trying.
> It is amusing to talk to actual border officials, because the term in their lingo for people running across from Mexico is usually simply "alien", which always makes me think of The X-Files theme tune.
Along similar lines, it makes me think of Men in Black.
Iran already wasn't working on nuclear weapons (a confident assessment by our intelligence community across the past 20+ years). The JCPOA then gave us the ability to verify that for ourselves. Then we (metaphorically) blew up that agreement, and (literally) blew up their leader who was firmly opposed to developing nuclear weapons, and the new one doesn't feel the same.
Not that I particularly care about his religious practices, but Jared Kushner is also definitely Jewish.
There was an attempted self-coup last time he was voted out. I think it's pretty reasonable to be extra reactive to anti-democratic tendencies from him.
It was really jut the people least agreeable to Twitter's new ownership. Whether you view like or dislike of Elon as toxic is more down to personal taste. I find the culture there perfectly pleasant.
But that process still results in having Windows 11 installed on the computer. I don't think it's a stretch to assume someone on the Arch Linux staff has reasons for avoiding installing Windows which do not involve an inability to accomplish it.
It's perfectly reasonable to complain about things you aren't entitled to. My Surface brand laptop has similarly ad-hoc Linux driver support. I don't expect Microsoft to support it better, but I'm still annoyed they don't.
That whole argument is predicated on the false assumption that mice are accurate enough human analogs that you even can cure human disease with their help. There's a good reason why it's such a common comment to point out how "in mice" was omitted from a headline that otherwise sounds like a medical breakthrough.
It takes deliberate effort to hide that you're filming with a smartphone. It doesn't require extra effort to disguise the act of filming with Meta glasses as simply looking at someone.
This is a lovely website, but the premise is entirely incorrect (that there's anything you need to know going in), and also spoils details from the game which this is supposedly background for.
Nobody should be discussing the timeline before playing the games. And not from some kind of purity perspective, but just because it's nerd shit that you won't get anything out of until you do. I really enjoy thinking and talking about the timeline, but I'm under no illusion that it's anything more than after-the-fact fanfiction.
Buying a used Tesla contributes to increased resale value, which makes new ones a more attractive purchase, driving sales, and supporting the owner.
I believe the comment should be read as "the $37k sticker price for a new vehicle is irrelevant if you buy used".
One silver lining to the bus being packed is standing with one foot on either side of the articulation pivot. Feeling your stance change under you while you're standing still is neat.
