Thanks for that. Hope it works. Been a while since I had a home router. I've also heard the trick of hooking it up once, then disconnecting from the internet. Does Chromecast require *any* need to phone home? I'd assumed it did. Had it once and took it back.
WiDi is still used on ASUS Zenfone Max 3 and 4, and the slightly aged Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter I use can see it fine. I did a lot of work finding that solution - very hard to ferret out WiFi Direct compatible phones. *ASUS still supports Slimport and MHL as well.* I checked. All good.
Bugger is, Neflix and Hulu BOTH actively refuse to support screen mirroring via Wifi Direct or Slimport or Miracast. The sound gets through. So does the subtitles. But they refuse to accomodate the video transport standard anymore, calling it antiquidated and demanding we switch to Chromecast, which I *cannot use* because there is no network to attach it to - and Google is the Creepy White Van that watches everything you do with Chromecast, anyway. Distasteful. Good news: Youtube and Amazon Video DO support the screen mirroring standards without exception.
I've been chasing various wired solutions for a decade, and they just aren't coming. The various copyright industries have been sitting on standards for a long time - they generally dislike anything that could give the remotest chance you could, say, jack a phone or a homemade DVR to a TV, or anything to a DVR without massive restrictions and monitoring. They like Chromecast, because Chromecast forces your activities to be logged by Google. WiFi Direct (Miracast) is almost dead, Slimport is dead.
It's possible there are professional solutions, expensive and bound to licenses and remote logging an monitoring, that can sing and dance they way we'd like. But as you note, no dumb TVs. Even dumb antennas are being phased out for encrypted antenna feeds that require internet based authentification to watch (next broadcast standard).
Yep. Scientist who proved ulcers were caused by infections had to prove it to his own satisfaction by injecting himsef. Nothing grants forgiveness like being right.
I'm fine with biohacking onesself. One can hardly sue anyone for malpractice.
Sure people will get hurt. They also die from car accidents, and we let cars exist. People also die from diabetes melitis, HIV, bathtubs, and occasionally peanuts.
Freedom means many things; it can mean not being subject to fussbudgets who want to save people from themselves.
Human experimentation is broken, especially in the US where everyone is completely focused on reducing risk to the experimenter and subjects. We can't move. Even regrowing teeth with stem cells, a process ready to go, will take 12 more years because of the human testing regime the dental experimenter will have to undergo. Millions will die horribly for lack of treatments we cannot even begin to test. For things to move along at a sane rate, volunteers will have to die.
Sure, the insurance companies will have something to say about this. They own us, as they are free to cut one off for any reason. That's another problem.

He didn't pull a trigger. He killed no one. The cops did. It shouldn't be possible for cops to slaughter you in the middle of the night because they were trained to be cowards. They are completely off their mission.
They're in financial hell from lack of taxes and won't tax because some other country will let Apple skate if they don't. We need international tax laws to stop this.
So basically Ireland and other nations have been pauperizing themselves by refusing to collect taxes from a company that has a quarter trillion dollars in cash. And they're fighting becoming wealthy by doing so.
First and foremost, Musk is worth 20 billion dollars, more or less. Tesla ain't going anywhere. Along with SpaceX, Tesla is his child and he says he's never giving it up. He can float the company for years even if he sells nothing. And he will sell.
The Model 3 (E, let's be real) is the most sought after car on the planet right now. There are problems somewhere in the manufacturing process. Rumor has it that the batteries are being hand-assembled. This is not a problem: they will automate it after it shakes down. Making things is hard.
The customer base is going no where, the admirers admire Tesla even more than they did yesterday. The problem is he had to take Tesla public to raise funds, and now the sharks are circling, wanting power, wanting to buy up shares, wanting to eat the company, sowing discord and BS. SpaceX, I hope, never goes public and keeps on doing the impossible with Wall Street having no say in it.
Eventually, within a few years, the assembly line will be automated, the batteries will be 30% cheaper, and may be even those new Toshiba SCiB 2s that Toshiba claims they'll have ready and will eliminate the faults and give three times the range. I heard - and I can't know this - that the idea is to drive the price of the Model 3 down to something like 22,000 dollars. Perfectly possible. At that point, I hope the other companies can keep up, or Tesla wins this race for good.
Of course they'll automate. They'd automate anyway. Their ideal world is no workers, affluent customers, and I assume packs of armed drones keeping the starving armies away from their mountain lairs.
Of course we need unions, mandated non-capital representation on corporate boards a la Germany, international laws forbidding seeking slave labor, minimum wages, and YES, rent controls. Or it goes to hell fast.
There is no inevitable march. We stop tech all the time, if it interferes with the prerogatives of the patent or copyright holders, or annoys someone wealthy enough to sue or fabricate a psyop against the tech, as Exxon did with solar and auto makers did with electric cars. The question is: WHO gets to stop tech when it hurts them. In one case, the wealthy turn change on and off at will. In the other, we stop tech to save our own lives, as we don't need to automate many things. Automation is happening because the wealthy are greedy as hell and don't care what happens. They invent religions of faux economics and blindered viewpoints to justify their greed, but in the end, you're gonna be impoverished and they're gonna get richer, and we all will suffer and falter.
Let's extrapolate. AI and automation continue. Accountants, lawyers, some engineers, coders, logistics planners, truck drivers, project managers slowly, then instantly, disappear. The profits go into the pockets of the management, the CEO layer, and capital funds who own the companies. Stockholders, sure, but as we've seen, corps do not pay dividends any more. You make money by playing guess-the-future-price in a casino where the capital funds are the house and take a huge payday. You can win, or lose, but the house always wins. What happens? Wealth is driven into a comparatively tiny group of interlocking "families" of capital wealth that become our first trillionaires. AIs run the capital fund complexes. Hell, the AIs litigate and negotiate with each other. It's a world of god-princes and goddess-princesses that inherit all the wealth and don't interact with the norms, making literally all the new money. They use the money to complete the cycle and own all the resources and governments (see Russia). Nothing can touch them, as we're seeing now, not laws, not lawmakers, not a single government. The only conflict will be the gods fighting amongst themselves in arenas we're not even privy to know exist. What happens to us? You tell me.
Also, the game-changer that will really raise consciousness is that the high-end, well-paying jobs requiring massive skills will be ended. This round, It's not just the average schmuck that's gonna live in his kid's basment for the rest of his life. It will be lawyers, accountants, CEO's, and much of middle-management. Welcome to the party, pals.
As the post subject says, jobs may be created. But the ten or twenty million cab and truck drivers will not be qualified, by age, location, skillset, or social contacts to get those jobs. And especially in the case of well-paid truck drivers, tens of millions who depend on the income of their driver family member will be impoverished as their wages are cut 75% or more, with all the crime and drug use that engenders.
The point of the Luddites was not to stop the future; they wanted to be compensated by those newly enriched by their destruction so that they would not be driven into destitution. They failed in this, and like many on-point labor and social contract protests since the 18th century, they were villified and made into a mockery, while at the same time being exactly right. They weren't cut in on the new profits, so they were driven into destitution. London filled up with the new poor and turned into a jungle of desperate grifts and prostitution, the hallmarks of a sudden removal of incomes from a society. Of course, as since the 17th century, the ruined population was blamed for their moral shortcomings for being poor, and savagely policed and imprisoned, while a small group at the top enjoyed their former wealth, newly diverted into their pockets. World War II temporarily reversed this condition, but we're back at it again.
We need to get out of this cycle of incinerating the middle class, then blaming and ostracizing them for what was done to them. We need to literally share the wealth. We've a new cycle of greed and ideology on the rise.
THE FREE MARKET! As in There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Market.
** Every other drone manufacturer requires that you do the same. The end. **
It's how we have encrypted BIOS, encrypted car engine diagnostics, and cell phones that don't have manual cutoffs on the camera and mic. How we have no choice in internet and cell phones providers when it comes to privacy. They just copy each other's requirements. Emergent multopoly.
Indeed. United and coordinated opposition to power of capital holders has become damned near impossible, because they own the surveillance systems, as it were. Not just the physical layers, but the police, internal spy agencies, and the very government officials themselves. Also, they can deploy countermeasures such as managed personas and indeed, entire fake news networks. They are BUYING the mechanisms which used to deter them - Sinclair Communications, anybody? Dr. Evil is quite real now.
History is useless. We've never lived through such times, so predictions are silly. The prime factors in the spread of wealth to labor, rather than owners, were two: the Black Plague, which decimated the population and drove up wages, and the worlds wars, which annihilated the wealth of the owners. We're witnessing now the triumph of capital ownership over the general popilation, as no catastrophe has put the brakes on their accumulation.
Deregulation and the race to the bottom, as the players copied each other in unison and removed interest in a continous spiral. No we've no options but investing in stocks, essentially a casino where we take the chances and the house makes trillions.

What else can be said. Obedience or your life is hell. And we walked, ran, danced into the flames.
I'd upvote you if I could!

Share, hell. He is the sole killer.
Which had nothing to do with armored cops being trained to kill civilians freely.
