It’s like the seasons in Texas. You have summer, MEGASUMMER, still summer, mostly summer but with rain.

The Samsung tries to “identify” what’s on an hdmi input before it will connect. It seems to call out to the internet to do that because it takes forever to fail and show you the display anyway when it’s not connected to the internet. Even when it is connected, it takes a stupidly long time to switch to a new input. I super hate it and will never buy another samsung tv.

I guess the lg needs to boot tizen before it works, because I see the logo briefly but then it goes directly to the last used input with no other bullshit, so it’s fine with me.

I love how literally nobody is answering your actual question.

I agree that this is problematic and we need TV reviews to include at least some of the information you cite.

If it helps, I have an LG smart TV. It complains if you don’t let it access the internet at setup, but if you connect it once and let it do its initial patching, you can decline all agreements and not get nagged until it tries to update again. To keep it from further updates, you can disconnect it from wifi and it doesn’t seem to try to reconnect. I can’t speak to public wifi because there aren’t any open access points near my TV.

In contrast, I have a samsung TV that loses its mind if it can’t connect to the internet and becomes basically useless for all the nagging.

No, originally the first three digits designated where you lived when you requested your SSN. The middle two were also not sequential. The final four digits were the only purely sequential ones.

I won’t buy it with denuvo, period. As far as game mechanics goes, I’m fine(ish) with what I’ve seen so far but I wouldn’t pre-order.

The windows version of civ 6 runs better on Linux than the “native” version. I hope they do a better job with 7 but I’m not gonna hold my breath.

Thanks for the confirmation, robobruddah

AFAIK ex-presidents aren’t allowed to leave the country without specific permission, due to all the classified crap in their heads. If one tried to flee the country, it would be their detail’s duty to detain them.

Heck, they’re not even allowed to drive in public roads… not that Trump has probably ever driven a car.

I’ve never tried one, but now it seems I have to.

Cinnamon apple jelly should be more common too! (Not apple butter… fuck Apple butter).

Apple cinnamon all the things!

Paprika 3 recipe manager does that too, plus it adds it to a local database, without any AI bullshit or HP account.

You can debloat an NVIDIA shield android tv box, replace the default launcher, then install whatever else you want. It’s probably not perfect but it’s pretty darn good. That’s what I use and it can be updated without losing any of my customization.

I asked people to take handover for a full month before I left and nobody cared. On my last day they kept asking if they could call me with questions. I said only if they had their credit cards ready because I wasn’t going to work for free.

I’m enjoying it a lot so far. I haven’t missed working at all.

I retired about a year ago, so the left-most book on the middle row is about me.

It depends a LOT on where you are. In the USA, Canada, and (I think) Mexico, such a thing is not possible, at least in any way that the services you mentioned will care.

It might be possible in places where phone numbers don’t have a fixed length, like (again, I think) Germany.

Never forget that the baby bells slowly reassembled themselves. They’re not a single company but they’re down to 3 or 4 now

I have it, and I’m otherwise de-googled.

• Use your own router, not theirs
• Set your router’s DNS to something other than google’s, and use DOH whenever possible.
• Force all web sites to use HTTPS whenever possible.
• If you’re extra concerned, use a nailed up VPN, preferably via your router.
