What are we doing for TVs these days software wise?
  • is there a good tv focused android rom you know of that would justify unlocking it? i havent found any that dont act like a phone and require a mouse to use. i like the stock ONN over others because it was so easy to debloat without needing a new rom but i def understand wanting to have full control over everything too.

    Card Emulator/Alternative NFC payment options.
  • you need to get a different device. As others suggested a watch is your best bet but dont expect those options to respect your privacy any more or less than google.

    JPMorgan Plans to Report Customers Who Exploited TikTok ‘Glitch’ to Authorities
  • banks are legally obligated to credit checks within like 24 hours of deposit, there is no glitch, you could do the same scam at any bank, its extremely common. the alternative is congress turns back the law and banks start holding your deposits for as long as possible before crediting them.

    Google & Facebook partner admits it can listen to device microphone to serve ads - Dexerto
  • admits isnt the right word, they are exaggerating their capabilities for the sake of marketing themselves to other marketing people who have no idea how device permissions or internet packets work.

    "We always knew it"... No you just didnt know about your own confirmation basis, you didnt notice all those times when you hadn't talked about whatever you never shop for and it was shown in ads anyway.

    If a marketing company had the ability to spy on behalf of advertising whats stopping some random app or the local police dept from doing it? And you can bet if this was at all possible the cops would be all over it to monitor "criminals"

    Gatekeep ideas, not people
  • LLMs helped me with coding and debugging A LOT. I'd much rather use AI than have to try and parse stack exchange and a bunch of other web forums or developer documentation directly. AI is incredible when i get random errors and paste them in to say "fix this" and it does and tells me HOW and WHY it did what it did.

    Stance on conflict
  • Is that supposed to be a whataboutism? You mean the same administration that launched a national database for police misconduct? That one? They're funding STATE cops? how? Or do you mean the feds beating up protesters like that time trump sent Homeland Security to abduct protesters off the street and detain them without charges, did The Biden admin do that too at some point because if they did I must have missed it. So what is your point exactly, that we should enable fascists because why fight it if bOtH SiDeS ArE thE SaME?

    Is it safe to use MIG Switch for pirating?
  • Unless you need online multiplayer it doesn't make much difference. I have my switch block Nintendo by DNS so its effectively me banning them instead of the other way around but if they did ban me I probably wouldn't notice.
