  • Part of me can't believe that I'm saying this, but I really hope you filed a complaint just so the installation service provider can be informed that this is an issue and hopefully advise the installers that they should always seek customer input on that kind of thing, it shouldn't add much time to the installation.

    I get that they're just trying to get it done quickly, but customer service is paramount.

  • Started watching Blackadder recently, it is truly something man. The episode where he marries, the ending was the hardest I've seen British black humor go in a while. On the nose with something so taboo they can't give it a laugh track, jeez.

  • He was an angel investor and also onboarded a bunch of celebrity investors.

    I wouldn't be surprised if they are trying to whitewash this, since it became a minor point of contention a few months ago

    Was also interim CEO for 8 days, to give you an idea of how involved he was. I'll update with more info and sources later if I have time, otherwise Wayback Machine is your friend

  • No, see my comment to FlyingSquid about how I assume things work under the hood. The only logical design choice I can imagine is that a hash of the content snapshot is being computed locally, and only the hash is transmitted.

  • I haven't done any research into what's actually being transmitted, but I assume ACR feeds the snapshots into an ASIC that does something akin to perceptual hashing, then sends a chain of hashes collected over something like a 2-4sec window to an edge server for matching. So perhaps around 24kbps is actually being transmitted.

  • This is called Automatic Content Recognition and it can be disabled in the settings, highly recommend doing that. It should have asked you whether you wanted it enabled when you set up the TV, as it's legally required to be opt-in in the US opposed to opt-out. Since you're using a Roku Smart TV, it specifically is taking two full resolution "video snapshots" every second.

  • You must be unfamiliar with power tripping mods.

    If you make it on a powermod's shit list, they'll ban you from every default sub they can because they are petty low lifes. I'd trust AI-powered bots to be more reasonable than those cumstains.

  • It's not like one of the six biggest power janitors of Reddit has been caught multiple times wrongfully deleting posts, using bot armies to manipulate votes and accepting money from marketing agencies for "consultancy" in social media guerilla marketing.

    It's almost like the company doesn't give a fuck what their unpaid help does to the userbase or content because they still gets investments regardless.

    Fuck spez, fuck GallowBoob, fuck awkwardtheturtle and fuck Sam Altman.

  • If anyone wants another reason to hate spez, just look into his relationship with Drewiepoodle, aka /u/awkwardtheturtle, a misandristic degenerate who dedicated their free time to the noble cause of bullying men online because they were butthurt their wife transitioned. Reddit only suspended their account to stop people from asking questions, but they have self reported that they constantly use alts to ban evade.

  • This was sort of my reaction after seeing this again while looking for something new on Lemmy:

    Just because you listen to rap about drugs and murder doesn't mean you actually do drugs and murder. Nor does it necessarily mean the artist does, it could be their persona.

    But I also know nothing of the band or their music, so idk whether anyone that listened to them would automatically be a hardcore Neo-Nazi or just an eccentric metalhead. Just like I don't know rap, so I myself can't pass judgement and it just feels weird to see others do so, I guess I can assume they are more informed than myself.
