Great! Who the fuck wants to be near a hate filled piece of
shit like you anyway. Lemme guess: You are a Jesus freak
and probably a MAGA fanatic at that.
Go fuck yourself, the world doesn't need you.
Makes you wonder how many places you stayed at (Airbnb's, motels,
hostels, etc) over the years might have been pulling this kind of shit
without your knowledge.
I think I see a consumer market for a device that can detect these kinds of 'bugs'.
That "Brogrammer" culture goes back to when programming was usually
done with pen and paper and then punched onto cards to be submitted as
part of a batch job to be fed into a room-sized mainframe computer."
This is about as much news as the sun rising in the morning,
Tick off "allow apps from unknown sources" under "security" in settings, get some crappy free file manager from the Amazon "app store" (you'll need this), then go to the web to find
the.APK files for Firefox, Chrome, etc. from a reputable site, use crappy file
manager to locate.APK file under "Downloads", open it/acknowledge warning boxes, app installs from.APK file, then enjoy!
HDTVs generally came with a standard VGA input connector so they could be used as a regular computer monitor. I bet this has disappeared in favor
of HDMI, but a modern set is really
just a computer monitor with a tuner
added to it.
If the underlying OS is Android,
I bet a standard wireless keyboard and mouse combo would work with it, and you just plug the dongle for it into
a USB port on the set.
(I haven't even owned a tee vee in
years, but my impression is that
Smart TVs are generally overgrown
Android tablets without the touch
screen and with some custom
front end slapped onto what is otherwise a fairly standard Android
system)
This might be a dumb question, but
if the TV is an Android based "Smart Tv", couldn't you simply plug in a USB
keyboard or mouse as these TVs tend
to have at least one USB port on them? I bet a USB hub would work with them too if you don't have enough ports on the TV itself to plug in both a KB and mouse
I can plug a mini-usb keyboard into
both my smartphone and my tablet (both Android) and it works right
off the bat, with no need to configure or install anything, so I
imagine the same thing can be
done with a Smart TV.
High powered transmitters have been on the air
continuously for nearly a century now, and you
are worried about the little toy radio in your cellphone?
WROC "Bringing you all of the latest death metal hits!"
has been blasting your body full of high
powered RF waves all of your life, and you are not
'glowing green' are you? Good Grief.
...yes, this will be abused, and of course marketers will be jumping on this left and right. What would scare me is if they use this to build a "Minority Report" like data base on people so they can better do surveillance on un-suspecting people, or insurance companies use this to better deny people coverage on life saving medicines. "You don't need that pill, I am the computer, and a computer iz never rong!" The AI does not scare me, it's the people who WILL be (ab)using it that will have me scared shitless!

And it is their fault for being mentally ill! I say we beat them, dunk them,
chain them up, force them to work,
in shackles, at the 'elf bench' for 16 hours a day assembling stupid little
trinkets, and starve them now again.
That will teach them to be mentally
ill!
We should also do the same to
heart transplant patients too, and
people born with things such as
cerebral palsy. After all, they did
these things to them selves, and
God says they have to pay!
2. One argument against making social programs like food stamps easier...is that making them a PAIN IN THE ASS might help encourage folks to double down on work and education, sacrifice so they can get a real job that pays enough so that they don't need to live off the govt. teet.>>>>>
Ah yes, the old "beat them into submission", that the Christians love to use against the "other people", because their
book of fairy tales and the sky daddy it is about says to do that.
Just hope you don't have some shit happen to you, such as a sudden illness that causes you disability, which will knock you down
a couple rungs on the social ladder, forcing you to "live off the gov't teat".
I love how these same people that crow about the poor getting welfare don't say a thing about corporate welfare where
much of that 'teat money' goes directly into the pockets of the ultra-rich.
Unless I am guaranteed a job which pays very well, I would rather keep programming as a hobby and just do trade work (such as plumbing or electrical ), or even be an office drone.
The pressure-cooker environment, and the prospect that someone in India and China can replace me without even being brought to the States does not sit well for me. All I would end up doing is banging out the same old cogs and gears that the suits told everyone to make, and little to no room for creativity or experimentation. No thank you.
Code monkeys for current and popular languages are very easy to replace.
I wonder how many of these e-mail 'addresses' read something like jhjhdsjifhdsjisfh@jdsjfhj.kjj vs ones that are legitimate
(this reminds me of when spammers were selling CD-ROMs
with "millions of email addresses" on them)
I am way more worried about the Trump and rising hate and people getting killed problem this country is having right now.
I think this piracy might actually be a good thing, as it it telling the suits that people don't like to be controlled, and don't
want to be nickled and dimed to death. The moment the suits
think people will accept being controlled, they will put the clamps on, and on HARD, and tighten them until your appendages fall off.
This is sort of how streets, prison or even the schoolyard works: If you appear weak, you will be "punked" (victimized) over and over and over again and it will never stop. If you are strong, you won't be messed with and suffer as much. The general public needs to make sure they don't get punked.
For putting up that fence, plus $100,000 for every day the public was not able to access that beach.
Though in an ideal world, this waste of skin would get a bullet to the head
I think because the brain is trained to filter out the
snow that you usually see in an analog broadcast, because our own eyes give a snowy
picture! (caused by "floaters" in the eyeballs among
other things). This is most noticeable in a completely dark room.
Digital break ups causes boxes and other jarring,
unnatural artifacts to appear on screen and often
causes the picture to freeze as well. Way harder for
our brains to filter out.
I imagine seeing this would scare the bejeezus out of
a toddler. Even as an adult, I feel unnerved when the signal
breaks up and it looks like someone's face is being held
under some weirdly textured cloth, and it's like they
are struggling to break free. Skipped key frames (which
causes this, if I am correct) in a video stream can lead to
some very bizarre visual effects.
I found that a simple piece of wire shoved into the
center connection of a coaxial jack usually worked,
even with DTV. Ghetto, yes, but who goes around
checking the back of people's television sets, and why
would I care what they thought anyway.
I haven't owned a TV set in years and I don't miss it as
a Hulu subscription and Youtube is more than enough
for me, and I would rather not spend most of my
waking hours loading up on the moronic crap that
is usually broadcast anyway. I have a good old fashioned radio just in case for really big emergencies
Next they might discover the special box where you can get
music and news absolutely free and you don't have to subscribe
to anything to use it! Some of these exotic devices can run
off of a single "AAA" battery!
The only downsides is that you can't change the playlist, and
there are usually commercials, but I bet the millennials will crap
their pants in amazement when they discover radio!
I love technology, I really do, but sometimes it makes me want to go back to using
cassette tapes for music and actual
physical books for reading so I don't
have to deal with all the stupid ding dong
crap they think they can push on me and
seem to believe won't make me the least bit irritated.
Silence is golden, too bad companies
don't seem to realize that.
I imagine they were able to pull that one by
sending their own, more powerful microwave signal to the
remote broadcast tower that most TV stations used. The FM capture effect (analog TV video used a variant of AM with the audio being FM for normal broadcast, but I am sure the station to tower mw link was all FM), helped insure a
complete takeover of the broadcast tower.
