Or why buy a car from a company that won’t be around much longer to offer maintenance, technical support and software updates.

The T after the 8 is superfluous.

Don’t feel bad. I missed “of” and “my”.

Is this the outline for Charlie Kaufman’s next film?

You can either bring the food or be the food.

From this link:

“A factory reset returns the TV to its original, out-of-the-box state. Performing a factory reset will remove all stored personal data relating to your settings, network connections, Roku data, and menu preferences.”

This is more for people like me who already have one and still need to use it as a monitor, but want to make sure that Roku never collects another bit of data from us.

I couldn’t find a Community community on Lemmy, so I made one. Come join me and the one other person who’s subscribed so far.

Not trying to get you to switch, but my current Mint Mobile plan is $20/month for unlimited talk & text and 15g high speed data. Uses T-Mobile’s network. Only issue is that you have to pay a year at a time to get the price that low.

I’ve seen plenty of wait staff show up to defend tipping in Reddit threads. They’d rather shame customers than demand fair wages from their employers. Or maybe they were all just bots.

My unproven hypothesis is that everybody’s a little nuts, just maybe not clinically so.

The location and orientation of the wipers and high beams always takes a few days to get used to.

For a second I thought tastykakes was your cat’s name.

It depends. Using OPs scenario, if all data, ads and updates, are served from data.samsung.com, then the pi hole can’t help. But if ads are served from ads.samsung.com and updates from updates.samsung.com, then you can blacklist the ads while still receiving the updates.

My experience with a Vizio is that the pi is blocking a lot of the “phoning home” connections, but the ads seem to be integrated with the software that allows me to use apps, so I still see them when I use the TV’s apps. More and more though, I’m using the HDMI port with my HTPC.

I have a network enabled model from Brother and it’s never once shown up on my pi-hole. I’m a fan for life. Will never buy an HP printer again.

My jpeg stopped downloading cause my roommate picked up the phone.

I stopped watching local news when they started having the anchors pitch to ads like they were just another news item.

Every job I’ve had has made a copy of the card for payroll/tax purposes.
