If only he tends to give these things to the conmen installing the junk. I’ve tried to stop him wasting his money so many times but it’s futile I’ve tried to use his latest oven he had an amazing one before but when I tried to use the new one following every instruction he said and the actual manual I looked up online myself said the food came out later absolutely fridge cold.

He insists his new cooker is brilliant, what can you do with that response to something that’s obviously broken from new and he should be returning.

He might need a home but I can’t do that to him truthfully, I just wish he had some common sense when it comes to things like appliances etc.

My dad falls into this category he constantly replaces things with way worse things just because they are new, I can’t get my mind round how he can replace really good working stuff with new junk that isn’t even capable of doing the job.

Wish I was joking but he does this constantly.

Read starlink refuses to block it in Brazil, now I’m curious if that gets banned or somehow blocked although I can’t imagine how.

Yeah I’ve removed it already and know all the antics YouTube has been doing as I use Smarttube on my Firetv.

But yeah not very impressed with Freetube in comparison to even a browser and the more I read about it not being able to view age restricted and other content it’s not for me especially with the constant freezes.

I tried it there but my browser works better is my first impression, I’m using thorium with Ublock, YouTube enhanced and some other addons.

Did honestly just give this a test but I kept getting videos just freezing up for no reason.

Queue everyone downgrading to Windows 8 in 3, 2, 1.

Don’t I have one and it’s the only Android device I’ve owned that crashes and reboots almost daily. I can’t recall any other device ever doing it actually.

This company’s all about the next gimmick and couldn’t care less about actually making decent phones.

Any one else watch the Linux tech tips video (degooglefying) where he tried to claim blocking ads was Piracy.

That pissed me off because blocking ads is honestly just protecting yourself against viruses which appear even on ads on Google etc.

Also who am I depriving of their property by blocking ads, F you linus.

I’ve used Librewolf since the first time Google announced these kinda plans I’m thinking it must be at least 3 years now.

Theres tons of options Librewolf is overkill to be honest Firefox would be fine.

Wow. I bet their just trying to drag the case out until the guy can’t afford it. If something like this was successful none of us stand a chance against any company legally anymore.

It describes removing the hard drive in the article and patching it, doesn’t sound like much of a real exploit to me. Yeah you probably shouldn’t be able to patch it but isn’t getting your hands on the physical hard disk much more of a problem.

Yep I have Infinity compiled with my own api key and while I don’t use it a lot it’s certainly a lot better than trying visit reddit through their website/app.

I guess this is just solving the same issue really without having to jump through hoops.

Also using connect for lemmy.

Ah I’m not an American consumer, just these companies acting suicidely mostly in an attempt to restrict their devices and force more ads I think.

I just think they are playing a dumb game because something is definetly going to undercut the lot of them while they are playing silly games. I think my next streaming TV device will be a good sbc as I just don’t like these company’s being in full control of my own devices.

At the minute I’m favouring a ryzen apu board but arms making a very strong showing now as well, so yeah I really don’t believe these big companies will get away with it for long.

Seems like most of the streaming hardware companies (amazon/roku/Google) are going out of their way to make products worse. Someone’s probably going to take their lunch and they’ll all act shocked about it.

Seems a dangerous game to play with so many Asian alternatives and sbc computers getting to the point they could do that job.

Don’t get me wrong this box isn’t horrible just really overpriced for the old specs.

Yeah it sucked at the time, took me quite a while to work out what actually happened.

I was raided they accused me of wanting to shoot up my workplace, I worked out later someone made a joke when I was on my holiday and a new member took it seriously and phoned the mayor’s office.

I was questioned about my non existant Facebook account in almost every police interwiew I went through which all in all I’d say was close to a dozen.

Whole thing was a nightmare which ruined my entire life at the time, the fact the mayor was involved I think made the police absolutely crazy with trying to get me on anything at all. But yeah Facebook came up way way too often to the point I felt they wanted to arrest me for not having one and I was some type of criminal scum or some psychopath for not having one.

Ultimately they didn’t get me on anything but I kinda feel if I had a Facebook anything I ever posted on it would be twisted in some kind of way to get me.

I’ve never had a Facebook account but been questioned by UK police who demanded my non existent Facebook account maybe a dozen times.

Unfortunately I’m now on benifit having lost my job and they keep bring up damn Facebook and trying to make me make an account.

There’s something badly wrong here, don’t use Facebook imo I honestly think it’s some kind of trap at this point.

Yeah I’m going to Summon Nintendo to explain their plans on how to cook a good Burger.
