I don’t know about samsungs, but Sony and any android or Google TV is a breeze to hack. Vizio and lg are a pain in the ass but they can be done, so I would assume someone smarter than me has figured it out and posted a tutorial

Yeah it’s a good thing homework doesn’t exist.

-a matter of legal and economic interpretation

If there’s a possible interpretation that a company is a monopoly, they’re a monopoly.

Starforge?

The description of that device and subscription is so fucking stupid I’m not even mad. If you fell for it that hard, you deserve whatever they throw at you.

Seems like something along the lines of “everything is hopeless so don’t bother trying.”

Hey now, some of us can handle our drugs just fine. Don’t judge the entire world because a fraction can’t tell themselves no.

You’re supposed to vaguely imply the existence of those, not just give away secrets in public bruh

It replaces paying for Spotify because its possible to download Spotify premium. Best of both worlds. Use Spotify or YouTube to find stuff, send it to a seedbox, load it later at home.

Biggest downside is most phones don’t have SD card slots anymore.

Could be a picture of all of them sitting in cardboard boxes

I mean, I like the picture, bit you could have a cat a squirrel a coyote and a horse all doing this and say all animals are the same. It’s kind of just how quadrupeds stretch.

Not wanting unnecessary “features“ that are just thinly veiled spyware that overcomplicate every aspect of driving is not a boomer opinion. Wanting buttons you can feel without looking for instead of a giant screen that has automatic updates and needs to have access to your cellphone for basic functionality is not a boomer opinion.

Knowing that tacking voice activation onto every ‘smart’ device, including vehicles, is just an excuse for companies to record everything you say for their shitty marketing isn’t a boomer opinion.

In my experience doing tech work, boomers love that shit and fall for all of it, and it all fucks up in some way much more quickly than should be allowed.

I say since the eighties because thats when the pseudo minimalist home design and plastic siding started, and all furniture became laminated particle board, and fucking everything starting turning beige and grey for “resale value”. Everything became so commercial it had no substance, and we quit making things that would become antiques because they became garbage.

Make everything utilitarian, but make it so poorly it fails at it’s own utility.

The most impactful examples to me are architecture and furniture. Art deco and nuveau buildings were beautiful, even minute details were meant to be looked at. The same goes for craftsman and machine age furniture. Everything has become so minimalist and utilitarian since the eighties.

I can conjure images pretty easily, and I see patterns in everything

I’m mostly face blind. I work in optical, so I remember people by their glasses and how they move/walk. I have to have seen someone numerous times before I.can memorize their face enough to identify them, and even then if they look like a celebrity even a little bit my memory will corrupt and I’ll just see the celebrity in my head and forget what they look like.

I’ve just gotten very good at bullshitting through conversations

You should never do anything that isn’t fun. Everything is fun if you make it so.

I though it was shitty games done quick. I would check that out.

Sounds like what tsa should be doing. Either security is necessary or it isn’t. The airport is the most classist place in the country.

I’ve played most of the metroid games, and i know theres a ton of nostalgia for super metroid, but to this day nothing has matched the feeling of exploration and awe from Metroid Prime. Every place in the game was so radically different, and the ability to scan and learn about the environment was so unique, and exactly what i didn’t know i needed. Learning the lore and finding out what happened to the planet only by analyzing everything made the world feel like it had died, and it’s death was a tragedy. All the enemies you encounter are just local animals that don’t know better, or had been corrupted by pollution. That is, until about halfway through the game when you meet actually hostile, malicious intelligence, and the combat steps up exponentially.

It’s fantastic. I still remember being amazed at the fogging and raindrops showing up on the visor the first time you step off your ship on Talon IV. I had never seen graphocs so good, and such attention to detail, and the game was already 4 years old.

The only game i’ve ever played that felt similar was subnautica, and while it had the wonder, it lacked the melancholy and insane combat.

Prime is the best in the series, hands down.
