The calls are encrypted with AES-256 so you’d have to have the phone decrypting the stream and then connecting to an Apple server for nudity verification without on-device detection. It’s entirely possible to verify/intercept what’s being communicated from a device even if it is closed source.

All of the ACR “features” and the audio capture features are behind separate, optional EULAs that the TV will work fine without. The GN video about LG was behavior if you agree to every EULA as well. You can add on a pi-hole and a smart tv blocklist for added protection, e.g., https://github.com/hkamran80/blocklists/blob/main/smart-tv.txt

It’s very easy to setup Wireshark and capture the traffic coming off your devices as well if you want to be sure.

That parenthetical annoys the hell out of me.

You won’t be seeing much in the way of “climate change” messaging this time around because it’s been rolled into “reducing energy costs” messaging. Since LCOEs for solar and wind have fallen below natural gas plants, which were previously the cheapest if you ignored the SCC, politicians have decided to rebrand. Campaigning on cutting energy costs polls much better when the economy is in poor shape so this is more effective.

It’s also worth noting that the last time that Democrats controlled the legislature and the executive they took substantial action;

They cover this in the BBC documentary The Secret History of Writing, which is really worth a watch if you haven’t seen it.

reinstating Affordable Care Act tax breaks, reversing Republican Medicaid cuts, holding votes against the Iran war and undoing President Donald Trump’s tariff regime.

I just lost my job to AI after 20 years. Losing Affordable Care Act coverage would limit my ability to study for the exam I need to pass to get a better job in the same field. It sounds pretty damn good from here.

The data demonstrates that no one can stop the climate crisis from being addressed due to how cheap the solutions have become. Even in the US where the administration is waging all-out war against anything “green” ~90% of new grid additions this year are wind, solar, and battery.

Most of the world’s population is concentrated in regions with high insolation and those regions are building out solar at a tremendous pace. Most of the world also doesn’t get around by cars and that’s where you’re seeing very rapid adoption of two- and three-wheeled electric transportation. Very little of this is state-directed, it’s driven entirely by cost.

10/9 10:27 AM PT – The Cornell University disciplinary committee expelled Jonathan Newell because he had sex with her without her consent … Jane Doe’s lawyer tells TMZ.

Newell was the Chi Phi fraternity brother who sent the “free p***y” Snapchat message in the frat’s group chat.

Someone who reviewed the hearing panel’s decision told us the panel found Newell did NOT have “affirmative consent,” meaning there was NOT express consent to engage in sex with Doe. Title IX says “silence or lack of resistance in and of itself does not demonstrate consent.”

Jane Doe was in serious text mode 2 days after the alleged sexual assault, almost consoling one of the men she would later accuse of rape, saying there was nothing to be ashamed of.

TMZ obtained a text chain between Jonathan Newell and Jane Doe. On the evening of October 21, 2024, Jonathan apologizes to Jane and says, “You’re an amazing person and I genuinely hope ur not catching as much heat from this as we r. We’ve been shutting down any stories we’ve heard but again I’m so so sorry.”

Jane responds, “aw jonathan i really appreciate this text. my memories super clouded too. I think we were all way to f***ing drunk and high.”

She goes on … “i really liked being w u and matt. so anything anyone has to say about the gamgbang is out of their jurisdiction.”

After referencing the “gamgbang” … she says “i don’t think we should feel any shame for the part. our body our choice asf.”

Then there’s a reference to not just a three-way between Jonathan and Matthew Ingalls, but a 4th person … “also yes while it may have been nice for like only 4 people to have been around, yall were both super out of it and they should have taken it on themselves to leave. at the end of the day you, matt, and i were in your bed and they didn’t need to get up in that.”

And then Jane seems to say she previously hooked up with Matt and Jonathan together, saying, “i really do love u and matt and i promise i wont get quiet and weird w u like i did last time.”

The NCAA, the WNBA, etc. are private organizations. There aren’t any state or federal government-operated sports associations that I know of. Democrats fighting in deep red states like this should just turn the limited government argument on their opponents.

It’s also based entirely on a tweet with zero follow-up or explanation as to what happened. People have lied on Twitter in the past, shockingly.

OP mentioned some of his joists are 4" thick. The deck screws on the right look about right, i.e. roughly 3/8" from the edge to the deck screw center. The deck screw on the left looks like it would be a miss unless the joist is 4" thick there. The angle I was talking about is when using a nail gun, not deck screws.

The joists are almost always 1.5" thick (often 2x8s). Most installers just angle the nail gun a bit so they’re far enough away from the edge that the boards don’t split. Last time I did this I predrilled holes 3/8" from the edge of the board to avoid splitting and fastened with deck screws.

If you attack the electricity and carbon sides of data centers, you might at least be able to divert some of the money tied up in AI towards the construction of renewable energy. Those are also stronger arguments than the water usage argument. Arguing from your most defensible position(s) is generally ideal.

I got replaced by AI after working in law for two decades. I’ve been studying for the bar while also constantly wondering if AI will subsume that work too before I even finish. I feel sick with stress almost constantly due to this. So this is great news.

That horse snuck up on Mr. Hands and did that to him without his consent.

You shouldn’t have to opt-out of any of this, but if you own one and want to keep using it, I thought this would be helpful information.

I ran Wireshark to capture traffic from my LG C5 and the only “scanning” it did was SSDP. Did they post any written article with further information on what it’s doing? Most if not all of what was detailed in the video can be opted out of;
