There are a few people suggesting Kodi and such. That's all great and fine, but Netflix and Amazon Prime won't work on that Raspi Linux. Roku with Plex/Serviio. As far as proprietary platforms go, it is the most open one.
I agree here. Roku can stream across the network with its own media player. You can even use Serviio with it, but lately I've had issues with compatibility. My TV's native player is better, but I may reconsider Plex even though I think Serviio is a lighter weight. The new Roku streaming stick is $35-50 depending on where you look and works very well.
Who said the CEO knew? I'd hold their engineering and software developers suspect and start investigating there. This was a significant undertaking with a lot of telemetry to be analyzed for the car to recognize it was being evaluated.
I took a new job and did two weeks of training in California with a bunch of people I've never met. Anyway, we carpooled, had dinners together, and all stayed at the hotel. Today I see Facebook recommending a few of them to me with no common friends and really nothing tying me to them other than where we work (if they disclose it to FB), where we all were the past two weeks, or perhaps they were Facebook stalking me.
They don't invest the money to make things work smoothly in their IT service, it just has to work. The last hospital I worked for had no central authentication service. You had over a dozen passwords, they all needed to be changed at different times, and all had different requirements.
Some of the better systems I've seen had a PIN number tied to your longer password. The pin was only good for your shift and you had to change it on your next shift. It resisted brute force by locking out after so many attempts. It was expensive, so of course my hospital didn't want it. However they didn't mind dumping the cash into someone who tirelessly changed passwords all day long.
I always tell people not to spend the extra money because it's a "smart tv." I recently challenge myself to that assumption and bought a Samsung smart tv for the bedroom and I can say it still sucks. I suggest buying a Roku if you want plug and play streaming: Netflix, Amazon prime, slingtv, and it even talks to my media server running Serviio (plex works too).
I will add my mother in law just bought an LG with their webos software and I was really surprised by it. It works pretty smoothly, close to my favored Roku.
Just like other slurs, those words are "their words." Perhaps women use them with the justification that they can empathize with the impact of them, but men cannot.
If you end up having to uncut the cable due to cost of overages with Netflix, Hulu, and the like, be sure you tell those services WHY you are leaving and encourage them to take the same course of action you are like complaining to the FCC and writing your congressman.
Does this threaten my ordainment as a priest in the Church of Latter-Day Dudes? Complete religious freedom and limiting what is and what isn't is a slippery slope in either direction.
Background music can already get you nastygrams on YouTube. I uploaded video of an event I attended where some song was being played. YouTube silenced the video because the music that happened to be playing in the background was under copyright. Ironically, it was probably licensed for the event but there's little room for recourse with them.
Cellphones, VoIP, and even cable company's phone (albeit it is a monthly flat rate) have done away with pay per minute long distance. Why not these companies?
A user account feature of a company I worked for tried to censor names. Any name with any censored word buried in it got turned away. Mr. Brass and Mrs. Lassiter, we never got to serve them.
Recently I went on the hunt for a new alarm clock when my iPhone had a bug that prevented the alarm from working. Why can't I find an atomic clock with a persistent memory to store alarm settings? If the power goes out and back on, then it resets itself without losing the alarm. There has to be a better way than battery backup with a 9v battery since computers kept time even when unplugged with a watch battery on the motherboard. It can't be so hard to reinvent the alarm clock.
Albeit I've only read a few articles regarding Net Neutrality violations that have lead to nowhere and then had my own experience, I've come to the conclusion Net Neutrality as passed by the FCC is fucking lip service. It doesn't mean shit to service providers.

Someone better check under the hood to make sure they don't have a internal combustion engine hidden somewhere.

Nice.

Now everyone wants to put a train in that tunnel.

Duhhhh, you gotta have people build the robots, right? You can't possibly build robots with robots! /sarcasm
What could possible go wrong? Oh, wait...

First, I think you have to bend over by giving them your Microsoft account login and everything else they want. I hate Bing with a passion.

So many other sources of blue light, it won't help unless you're a teenager with your nose glued to the damn thing.
