You shouldn’t need admin rights all the time. If you have an admin password you can use it as needed, but needing to run as admin not just during install but every single time is sus as hell.

If you’re talking about kernel anticheat games, well, you have a permanent back door, so I don’t know what to tell you about staying safe that matters.

Does anyone know if any of these systems will interpret a Google takeout export from Photos? The data separation is brutal, I haven’t found something to pull it together yet.

There has to be a way to set up an HDMI Smart hub with open source software to replace the tv software. I don’t have cable.

Welp. I look forward s to hearing about how our strategic reserve was hacked away from us by a dozen coders in China who found an open wallet on an unsecured PC.

100k isn’t rich. Disabled people face incredible costs as insurance companies and medical care in general gets more and more expensive for less and less, and sometimes out of pocket they have to pay tens of thousands for a vital assistive device. The chances they’ll get there are frankly nearly impossible - as usual, the answer is that if one person may exploit the system but hundreds of thousands or more will have a very difficult life eased, the ethical thing is to let it go or at least engage an investigation, not a blanket ban.

You aren’t wrong, that’s all true. But also there are a lot of reasons to want to “free your TV”. The literal answer is that rooting your TV is difficult or impossible depending on the brand, and the technically true answer is that you can at least get away from the horrible manipulative interface pushed on you by the manufacturer without doing anything difficult. Better than nothing, IMO.

Why has no one mentioned Projectivy?

It’s a regular app, doesn’t require root (though it benefits from it). It’s free unless you want complicated parental controls (I pay for it but otherwise have no relation to it).

I have a Bravia TV, and with it I no longer have ads, I can change exactly what apps show up, including hiding Sony apps, and can totally customize the whole window.

Finding it was a huge relief for me, as there’s no point setting up parental controls for a small child when ads showing horror products show up anyway.

Hope that helps.

Make sure it has friendly words on the front line Don’t Panic.

It’s ironic that capitalism is missing out on more efficient workers who could maximize production and profit because of this. Who knows where we would be if we actually helped people pursue their goals regardless of current income?

Jump Man, Space Taxi, and Ghostbusters on Commodore 64. I was using that version of the Ghostbusters song as my ringtone for years, back when I got phone calls ;)

Skydiving, once, in my 20s. Not sure if the chute was on wrong, being slightly over the weight limit was a factor, or if it was just genetics, but when the chute opened, the jerk caused a loud enough pop that my instructor asked if I was okay.

I lied of course, the adrenaline kept me from knowing the deal, anyway.

The first time I threw my back out, after, it was from picking up a piece of paper. These days, when I have the least pain I can still tell my back muscles are as tight as a garage spring.

I had never known a moment of back pain before that day, and I don’t know what it’s like to walk a mile without back pain now.

This is the sort of thing a person rattles off on gut alone. “Artistic freedom” is not legally defensible - if your work isn’t entirely unique, you need to fit within Fair Use in the US.

If you’re in many places outside the US (like Japan) there is NO Fair Use carve-out to copyright (which is why Palworld may be more fucked than if they were a US company.)

Who, with sufficient expertise, is willing to participate in creating this? Maybe they’re out there, but I think this incompetence is perhaps the best they could find.

Tragic on many levels.

GODDAMMIT

It is.

I can’t believe in 2023 we are still in the position of having the only convenient capable way of incapacitating someone from a distance being to destroy their body.

I’m not trying to sound super anti-gun, it just seems like it’s not the right tool for the job most of the time, and it sucks that that is the choice we have to make.

Yes, what’s important is modeling behavior, not an accurate world view at 3. It’s frustrating internally, but I just made sure my child could see that I was unfazed. I also modeled answering questions without being an authority, when appropriate “I think this is how it is” “I’m not sure, let’s find out together!”

It’s a long process, just keep your eye on emotional regulation and other bigger picture issues and don’t let your child drag you into the weeds of who is right and who is wrong, IMO.

I think it’s obvious that his parents were mentally damaged and traumatized the boy, nevermind the neglect and tacit encouragement at the end.

Everyone is so hell bent on retribution, no matter the cost. What we want is someone who won’t assault or murder others, owns their actions, and repays society to whatever degree possible - zero of those things are developed in prison.

Considering how each generation of Boston Dynamics robots becomes more and more graceful, I don’t see how the problems you suggested won’t be non-issues incredibly fast.

Also, unrelated to your comment, people are delusional if they don’t think this is the ultimate goal, right? Amazon’s reassurances are bunk - if they could eliminate people they would, they just can’t do without them yet.
