Those poor multi-billion dollar…

Nope, I cannot even finish typing that sentence.

Fuck 'em.

I’ll agree that competition is not as robust.

However, it will be interesting to see how many “non-techy” people discover how easy it is to find content for free without ads.

So, without reading the article, I’m assuming it’s lethal to humans and not just an issue where we all need to tell the closest rat to have a glass of cranberry juice for their uti.

Yeah, every few 18 months you’ll probably have to get the latest api and re-revance it. But unless they lock up their api somehow, revanced should be good.

For my current use, (mostly screen sharing) I think it has to be connected.

Also, I think most smart tvs require regular updates or they “won’t work”.

It’s worth a shot though, I’ll have to look into it.

All I found in a cursory search were commercial displays. But I’ll keep looking.

I’ve got a 30"? VISIO that’s over 13 years old and doing just fine. I’d love to get another something of that quality; planned obsolescence sucks.

Unless you’re trying to achieve 4K on a projector, you definitely don’t need a $12k model.

Similarly, sound is dependent on the user. I’ve used many projectors that had decent speakers. Yes, speakers can be expensive, but not outlandish unless you’re going for an audiophile set, but then you’re going to drop money either way because most TVs don’t have movie theatre level speakers.

I’m just interested in having a big enough picture without paying a fortune or having unskippable ads while I play Horizon: Forbidden West.

An $80 projector works just fine for me.

I’m not trying to build a theatre or anything here.

In the clock app on android, click the plus at the top, then click which day to repeat.

Alternatively, click the calendar icon after clicking the plus at the top and select the date.

Android’s is pretty good.

Can reschedule repeat alarms to sound at the next scheduled time if you need to disable the current one with just a flip of the toggle and a confirmation.

Also, I love being able to schedule alarms out indefinitely. I use it to remember appts. that are over a year out.

This looks like a stop between adventures.

Like the slimey goliath, hulking down the unlit street, stops to get a kitkat before continuing on the unlit street into the night.

Woah… I forgot about all that.

Waking up to the latest AAA that was started 36hrs ago at 75.8kb/s.

Of course it dropped to 0.9kb/s frequently, but it still downloaded.

This citizen kombats.

This is my thought:

Good enough laptops are about $200, and Linux is free.

Then there are fairly good projectors for like $80 or less that have hdmi, av, rgb, etc. with an led bulb.

So, grand total about $300 for a massive screen and zero ads.

Lemme c if I can xplan.

Hot air goes up.

Rocks ata top are also up.

So, more hot at the top makes the rocks hotter ad hotter, lika microwav, until they boil and melt tye tip of the mountain of, then, boom, volcano.

Add some quality of life to this by installing multi-layer plastic sheets with perforation at the wall for easy cleanup when you forget whether your current shoes are indoor or outdoor.

Agreed.

The carpet is for my comfort, I’m not hosting it.

This reminds me of a similar discussion on reddit, years ago, about garbage disposal care: The absurdity argument was someone referencing a plumber who told them that the only thing that should ever go into the disposal is water.

So, any recs. on good dumb tvs?

I’m upgrading to a projector soon, but also would love a few screens with actual buttons on the device incase of the inevitable remote loss.

But only banned books

I really just wonder how easy it would be, psychologically, to start a Red-Blooded for Jesus organization, rake in profits under a non-profit tag, then “have to close because of the economy” and retire.

They never do.

Amazon’s Rings of Firey Circle Ten Lords of Galadriel’s Quest (or whatever the LOTR pseudo-Silmarillion show was labeled) sucked and that’s the best advertisement I’ve seen in recent memory for nerd-culture media.
