Btw, went to look for it and it isn't E11 which is Chain of Command, but E15 Tapestry.

Faith in opsec against a determined and capitalized adversary—zero. One slip up and you're done. You will slip up eventually (they help with the banana peels) and probably already have.

They don't "connect" per se, they scan, report, and sell the data as they map your home.

We know cable providers sell access to networks through their customers. Wireless companies do directly as well.
If it is technically possible, encouraged, and worth money, you can bet someone is doing it in the 2020s. No need to wait for journalistic confirmation, a dying industry. Internet surveillance capitalism is quite mature these days.
At best we can say no one has gotten around to it, but that is just one update away from being false.

It’s built to run 16 hours a day, the specs probably derive from that.

Looked a bit more closely, says it has an embedded signage player running on tizen, wonder the privacy implications. :-/

Neat. Found an issue in chapter 3, first sentence says electronic computers were during WWII, but they were electro-mechanical… they used relays. Vac tubes came later, ENIAC was finished after the war finished, for example.

Yours is the first comment in the hundred I've read that links a concrete product. I can't vouch for it, but kudos to you.

ACR also notes what you're watching even on HDMI and will upload it if given a chance.

Sad to hear. What to add? For some reason I often pronounce Picard's full name in my head in the delivery of 'Q' in one of the episodes. I believe Q is delivering a package or telegram, and he says "addressed to a… John Luck Pick-urd?" in a mildly southern (American) accent. ;-)

Richard Riehle, the friend in that episode passed on quite recently as well. Was also in Office Space and a fantastic satire about scope creep in projects for the military, of all things.

Not my experience. If there is a new answer it usually brings it to the top or near it.

The Trending (recent votes count more) feature was implemented years ago. Not perfect, but helps a lot.

He was right about this one. Never used the touchscreen on my old Dell except by accident, over the last decade. Shoulder gets tired holding up arms.

Wait until it is packaged for your distro. It should be vetted then.
If on Mac/Win, you should be used to trusting notarized apps after a cooldown period.

I think you hit upon what bugs me about file config. It's not the file, it is having to find it, find the docs, find the syntax, find the keys, find the values, etc.
If it was always in a standard format, it wouldn't be a problem. Something like dconf, without the poor design.

There are mature emulators for decades now, why go backwards? I guess there are a few tiny features that might be useful, and am open to them. But a new project needs to be strictly better, not two steps forward, one step back.
Ghostty is getting there though, and today is a milestone, not complaining too loudly.

Too big for the use cases above. iMac is not for “pro” use unless you’re a writer perhaps.
