Didn’t really state a position other than ownership, which does have some implications. I am fine with smart TVs but not ok with data collection and ads.

Either would only be ok if I had opted in, especially be paying a lower price with that tradeoff, but I and everyone else are paying full price, so I am adamantly opposed to it.

You took it a step further than me, and I applaud your efforts. I hope they are noted by the manufacturers.

I have recent LG TVs. They did start showing ads, but if you dig around in the menus you can disable them.

Not addressing your main points. Just wanted to point out you can have a smart home with purely local devices. No cloud.

Keeps carpal tunnel at bay. Well, helps but doesn’t totally prevent it by itself.

Last time I tried it, it choked on anything over a million files. Is it better now?

Tree style tabs ftw

Airvpn, then use their advanced config to create a 443 tcp tunnel out to a single server. Then use that server’s IP in your OpenVPN config file. Route all traffic including dns inside the tunnel.

Traffic will look like all other web traffic - encrypted on standard web ports. You won’t even need to do a DNS lookup to start with and airvpn uses generic rDNS so it’s not super easy to figure out from their perspective.

The point is to show different biases through their source’s own interpretation of facts, not to deliver unbiased news themselves.

Put another way, Ground News is kinda saying “here are some cold days, hot days, and in-between days. This is what we experience.” You’re sitting there saying “they’re liars! Have you forgotten 0 degrees kelvin and the center of the sun?!?”

We haven’t forgotten but it’s not the point. Moreover if they changed their scale to show the modern left is not really left wing at all, then they would not be representing what we’re seeing, and critically, they would not be shareable as a demonstration of bias in news. Because most people would dismiss them as propaganda without really digging in.

Didn’t watch, did you?

Yes, they reported the first hand experience because they can vouch for it completely. But they also have hundreds of people who contacted them - often with evidence - about Asus being dishonest and deceitful.

In one of those people. I’m glad the word is spreading. Asus RMA really is that bad, too the degree the company just needs to die.

Well that and only boosting a little at a time. Generally you’ll see crashes and corruption long before you’ll kill a card, if you can avoid swinging for the fences.

shutdown -h now on the wrong machine. Should have been “-r”. No IPMI but important enough to force me to drive to the office at night.

Ever since, I force myself to wait a couple seconds before sending any shutdown command, and tend to use reboot instead.

Been using them for many years and several instances I leave permanently connected. I can’t recall a single instance of AirVPN disconnecting from their side.
