Thousands of Android TV devices come with unkillable backdoor preinstalled

  • Have you tried Kodi?

  • I don't know about apps like F1 and Chromecast, but I can see that it could be a problem. But YouTube has worked fine for me with the MPV player. Maybe you could try Android-x86? (is that thing still alive? 😅)

  • So my home media center is not real world enough? I only expressed an opinion; you are free to ignore it. Also, there is nothing that keeps you here. Please kindly keep in mind that most Lemmy users right now are interested in technology, you can't take that away from them and there is nothing wrong with it. If you want to stay away from "shit like this", then, with all respect, you probably should not be in a technology sub in the first place.

  • That's why you should build your own media center from an old machine. Much safer and more private.

  • Like it wouldn't.

    Please, it's 2023. Corporarions have totally embraced the "you are the product" model. They offer you a service on their infrastructure ("the cloud") on their terms, which they can modify and terminate on will. Then they make money by selling your data, showing you ads and using your data to personalize those ads so that you are more likely to click on them.

    Shame or ethics? Please, it's money that makes the world go round. Ads in every app! Ads on the web! Ads in every corner of the city! Ads on public transport! More ads! Even more ads! No square centimeter of physical and virtual space left unused!

    It's really pathetic.

  • Or maybe Drake is trying to show how to pose for a selfie? There is more than one way to understand this meme.

  • Wow, thank you, didn't know of that.

  • Technically I don't think any Greek layout uses a different Unicode codepoint for the question mark. In fact, the ordinary semicolon symbol is used, so what the meme describes would probably not happen IRL.

    Does all this make it any less funnier? No. It's still brilliant.

  • Sorry, my bad :-)

  • I partly expected that this particular movie would come up in such a thread, as most people seem to be quite disappointed by it. Sure it was different from what everyone expected, and it could have been much better. I still appreciate it though because, like all adaptations/versions of H2G2, it tells a slightly different story, with the same humour and satire that is characteristic of Douglas Adams. And the effects were quite nifty IMO. Too bad DNA did not live to see the completed film...

    Luckily there's the radio series, books, TV show, comic, play, and game to get me through :-)

    Don't forget the BBC TV series, it was not bad either ;-)
