Probably the best idea I guess as long as you can set the TV up without Internet.
I'm pretty happy with Chromecast currently for its simplicity. I meant to try and replace the TV firmware so it's more or less a dumb TV that just displays its inputs without having ads and other gimmicks.
The TV I currently have is Android OS but the built in Chromecast is noticeably lower quality. Not sure if it's an older version or what.
Regardless, IMO the displays themselves outlast their software support, and I prefer to just plug in whatever the latest device.
I'll also mention Android OS on my TV takes a full minute to "boot" and that itself makes me want to yeet it out the window.
My TV is probably going to kick the bucket in a year or two at most. Filtering "non smart TVs" on a site like BestBuy shows only commercial display options at this point.
Are there any well maintained projects out there that are able to replace the firmware on newer smart TVs to get rid of these features? I really just want a dumb display with an input for a Chromecast with CEC support (or similar device if Google decides to enshittify that platform with screensaver ads too).
This is giving me 1998 MS Publisher vibes and I'm here for it.
This was the obvious move - attempt to change the venue to Fox, Newsmax or worse. I'm surprised Tucker isn't a proposed moderator.
Harris should counter with a live fact check requirement regardless of venue, which Trump and Fox could never accept.
Trump's plan is to end support for Ukraine.
The argument for AM appears to be: the vast majority of adults will receive an emergency broadcast through their cellphone, but what happens if some event has already occurred which disabled large portions of the cellular network (which itself is an obvious target to create havoc)?
I'm fine with using AM as a redundant system for alerts.
Maybe make it more useful though for people in the car? I don't need an AM button I'm never going to touch. Instead have it monitor whatever the emergency broadcast frequencies are automatically, and put something on screen when there is an alert. That would make it a useful "modern" feature as opposed to appearing as a legacy holdover.
I'm all for single payer in the US but this diagram is a bit misleading.
What I assume you're really gutting are profits and shareholders for insurance companies. (Good, because healthcare in my opinion should not be a profit driven business in any respect.)
What I fear, however, is who is in power at any given time might change the care you receive if such a system isn't setup with safeguards and ironclad mandates.
For instance, Republicans would absolutely attempt, through legislation, executive order, and the courts, to implement an effective federal ban on abortion or healthcare for trans and LGBTQ groups by changing how/if a single payer system would cover these services.
I would also be worried about the public availability of coverage data such that lists of frequent providers for these services are easily obtained and become a tool for harassment by religious zealots.
Or, imagine an anti-vaxxer put in charge of the program during the next pandemic.
How do other countries deal with these issues? Or, have politics become so broken in the US that this is a somewhat uniquely American problem?
You're famous for being photographed shirtless on a horse. Is that because horses can't judge you, or is it a new Russian policy for reducing laundry costs?
I recently went through these exact pains trying to contribute to a project that exclusively ran through Discord and eventually had to give up when it was clear they would never enable issues in their GitHub repos for "reasons."
It was impossible to discover the history behind anything. Even current information was lost within days, having to rehash aspects that were already investigated and decided upon.
No it's the faucet across from the toilet he has to flush ten, sometimes fifteen times, which is also where he got this idea.
