Some people like the Apple ecosystem.

RIP 😭

I had the same problem - see this thread for solution (you have to scoll down to the middle)

In fact, forget the EV!

You could set up a dummy LAN with no internet access for the tv. Unless it actually has more than one network card, it would need to be able to have the ability to virtualize network interfaces to connect elsewhere, and I really doubt these TVs are that smart.

I have the Ubiquiti Edgerouter X. I got it mostly because at the time it was on sale 😂 but it seems to have decent support. Note that you will have to get a wireless AP as the Edgerouter is a pure router without WiFi function. Lots of people also like Mikrotik products.

pi-hole ftw. the vast majority of my pi-hole’s DNS drops are from various Roku and Roku-like devices. Also, put all your IoT stuff onto a guest network, or if your gear supports it, on its own VLAN.

Linux runs great on Intel iMacs. Just sayin’.

You can block YouTube ads simply by connecting to an Albanian VPN server.

I think you’ve hit the nail on the head. I am not a coder but using chatGPT I was able to take someone else’s simple program and modify for my own needs within just a few hours of work. It’s definitely not perfect and you still need to put in some work to get your program to run exactly the way you want it to but it’s using chatGPT is a good place to start for beginners, as long as they understand that it’s not a magic tool.

Not sure what to think of this. I have frontier right now and it mostly works. When there was a power outage a few weeks ago the fios network still worked. Years ago we had Verizon wireless and it was overpriced and not great service - switched to T-Mobile and have never looked back. My only other option where i live is Spectrum, which is no bueno.

You don’t have to get a mobile number. You can get a number from a voip provider. Those numbers can accept sms usually. Usually cheaper than mobile number and you can access from your phone with a SIP client.

No one knows how to read a sextant any more. The horror!!

Analog clocks are not really essential technology.

Without jpeg compression artifacts how the hell are we supposed to know which memes are fresh and which memes are vintage???

lmfao. At one point the Logitech mouse driver for MacOS was a 1GB download. They want me to pay for that shit??? gtfo.

A screwdriver doesn’t become a bad screwdirver just because someone is using it to drive nails. There is a lot to hate about Microsoft, but its basic Office tools are really quite good, when used in the manner in which they were designed. There really are no meaningful competitors for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Outlook as an email client is not great, but its strength is calendaring.

Word is not horrible as a word processor. The issue is that people try to use it to do typesetting, reference management, and all kinds of non word processor shit. And Microsoft encourages this. If you understand what the tool does it’s really a decent tool.

No mixed feelings at all. I am unequivocally sad that we lost Richard Simmons today 😢😢😢

VW ID.4 is not perfect but comes close to what you’re asking for. also qualifies for full US tax credit. yes it integrates a bunch of stuff into the touch screen. But in terms of “fancy functions” it doesn’t really have much except CarPlay/Android Auto.
