Agreed. You shouldn't have to trust that some third party software built into your TV won't abuse your trust and shut everything down until you do what it's owners want.

I've got an external Roku and if it starts being a dick, I can just unplug it and toss it in the trash and I still have a working TV.

Whenever I'm stressed out about too many ads, I take Fark-It-All. Ask your doctor if Fark-It-All is right for YOU.

I would assume that I was being phished and the attacker wanted me to re-type the password to verify that it's correct.

Lead paint was banned in the U.S. in 1978 because of its toxicity. This stuff can and will kill you.

Conservatives need to stop treating every deadly poison like a "who can chug the most beer contest." This isn't a game (unless you're a company seeking to bypass lead restrictions, in which case it's totally a game to YOU).

Death penalty for lobbyists.

Good for Wikipedia. A lot of "AI generated" content is simply plagiarized from existing sources.

Yup. That slogan is the end result of a long line of bad company decisions.

This is why I don't buy "smart" TVs. They just want to data-mine you. And they can brick it whenever they want to, right over the Internet.

One of the reasons so-called "smart" TVs are so much cheaper is because they are data-mining you.

By being federated and decentralized, Lemmy makes it impossible for one idiot billionaire to ruin an entire platform.

In order to "take over" Lemmy, they would have to take over more than 1,300 Instances, in many different countries, instead of one instance in one country.

I remember the "micronite" filter in their advertisements. I had no idea it was made out of freaking asbestos.

Same here. BW Brother printer and I can get 3 toner cartridges for about $25. At about a dozen pages a day, those cartridges last me a whole year.

Yup. I think the worst offenders are the videos that are just Wikipedia pages with still images and an AI text-to-speech robot voice. It's the world's laziest form of "content creation" and I always downvote them.

I only use Reddit now for a couple of very niche forums (like /samsungwatchfaces) but I never post there anymore.

Wendys actually thinks they can treat CHEESEBURGERS like a valuable, limited commodity. I HAVE to buy gasoline because I have no choice. I don't have to buy Wendy's cheeseburgers. I can make my own damn cheeseburgers.

I wonder how long it will be before "Surge prices" become permanent price increases in certain neighborhoods?

People don't like paying premium prices for average or crap food. But they like being exploited even less. Even if Wendys rescinds the surge pricing policy, those customers are never coming back. People will remember that Wendys tried to f*ck them over.

This is a game a lot of people are not going to play, just on principle. It's not about the food, anymore.

Isn't this just blatant lying on the part of the fast food company? If you have a printed menu with prices on it, you can't just bait and switch like this.

Everybody dies, no matter what choice you make. It's just a matter of time.

This is why Wikipedia needs our support.

Their apostrophes!
