“I dont want it to have anything, except google, the biggest invader of privacy there is” :p

i wager it has all the TV stuff gutted out, including the tuner… Which admittedly is only a problem if you use OTA and not cable.

Continue to never buy LG products again?

Gotcha. The advertising works, i guess…maybe not how they wanted to, though lol

i gut no ider wat ur tlakin bot. i splel prefect.

Oh don’t worry. They’ll come for you soon.

They’ve already gotten away with kicking people out to a south american torture prison.

And they are actively and openly working on how to strip citizenship from people, so they can disappear anyone to the south american torture prison.

So you are not safe. You just have lots of brown and hispanic people infront of you to take the initial bullets.

Which is why we all need to be stopping this shit now, because we all know how the poem ends.

No one should own an Ubisoft game. Its a company thats at the top of the list with Nintendo as far as the level of hatred and vitriol they have for their own paying customers goes.

All the important people at nintendo have been separated from reality by their own fame and success for so long that they’ve lost their common sense and rationality.

But despite it all, their absolute contempt for their costumers and supporters continues to get rewarded by masses of fanboys/fangirls who keep unloading dumptrucks of money on Nintendos doorstop out of some obsessive nostalgia, and thus keeps nintendo from ever actually learning an actual fucking lesson.

the same % of Americans have always been stupid. but for a long time it was honest ignorance that made them pliable, in small communities, to conmen… who quickly worked their con and moved on to the next town.

But thanks to the internet connecting disparate crazies, and elevating crazy to a mainstream voice, and then hostile foreign powers elevating that further on social media thanks to the internet, giving it a heavy dose of false legitimacy… its devolved into a unique bouillabaisse of cromagnum hyper-idiocy the likes the world probably has never seen before.

and thank to isolated media bubbles like Fox News and OANN, it will only continue to get worse and worse.

I’d be happy with a couple hundos.

Im old enough to remember the internet before ads, and with ads became a thing and you had to make sure to keep your speakers low/off all the time less some screaming loud ad popped up somewhere to burst your eardrums at 2am.

There were so many obnoxious, visual cancer ads.

Then they became actual digital cancer by being injection points for viruses and malware, and thus adblockers became a necessity.

And they remain a necessity to this day, for the same reason as they were 20+ years ago.

and yet the ad servers want to blame the end user for adblocking.

not their absolute refusal to moderate or police any of the content they deliver.

Ugh.

Yeah, I’ve dealt with the whole “why does my phone make noise all the time”

“Cause you have tons of bullshit apps that arent doing anything but dinging your notifications. Let me remove them”

“No, what if I miss something?!”

“You don’t even read the fucking things!”

“but I could still miss something!”

the fact that my grandmother absolutely, hard ass refuses to do anything that would improve her situation. Just bitches and moans and has great big narcissistic pity parties until someone forces it down her fucking throat.

For example, her vision isnt great, she complaints its hard to use the computer cause she cant see to type (Shes one of those chicken peck typers). I tell her to get a large print keyboard with a backlight, it’d be easier for her to see and use.

She says no, it wont help. nothing will help. boo hoo pity me blah blah bullshit.

Long story short, it goes back and forth for a month, with her refusing the idea, refusing when I directly link her to a keyboard to buy (it was cheap, too), etc etc. Just making a big fucking woe is me pity party out of it.

I finally say fuck it, buy the goddamn keyboard myself, take it over to her house, put it on her computer.

within 5 minutes “Why didnt you tell me about this before? Its amazing! I can see it and use the computer again!”

Shes the reason i’ve been balding for 20 years.

don’t underestimate how lazy and stupid even the smartest person can be.

I dont know why people keep recommending brave.

its a fucking scummy fucking browser that has a history of stealing money, hijacking referal codes (like honey just got in deep trouble over), installing unnecessary software without consent and more.

Or just use a browser, ffs.

everything doesnt need to be an app.

especially when its nothing but a goddamn webbrowser, wrapped in an app, with less protection.

You are just upset that he has escaped to the one place that hasnt been corrupted by capitalism…SPAYSHEH

one of my great regrets (Of a great many, I’l concede) is that I never had the opportunity to attend a lan party in my younger days… In these days of the photo.

I have always looked at this picture with a mixture of jealousy and admiration.

What’d he get, a whopper with no drink or side at Burger King?

I didnt even know computer bluray drives existed.

I’ve never, ever seen one advertised.

edit Several hours later edit/clarification.

I knew about basic bluray drives for like…watching movies and shit on.

I just didnt know they ever created Bluray R or RW drives or media. I’d have bought the fuck out of it if I had known (and it wasnt stupidly priced)

USB-C is very hard to manufacture and expensive as fuck as a result.

thats why.

Especially when most devices don’t need the bandwidth or power needs of USB-C.
