LG TVs now shows advertisements on screensavers
  • Never connect a smart TV to your WiFi, disable WiFi, connect an Android TV box via HDMI and use that. Debloat, root, or run a custom ROM on that box. Then run SmartTube, Jellyfin, Pi-hole, etc. to bring ad-free sanity to your living room. Obviously a dumb TV is best. But this is your best alternative, if you already have a "smart" TV.

  • Feds target SUV, truck size to save pedestrian lives — ‘one of the last frontiers of vehicle safety’
  • Chevy Bolt (electric) is approx. 3,600 lbs. Ford Fiesta (gas) is approx. 2,500 lbs. I think your numbers are kilograms. Sorry to be pedantic, just trying to get correct numbers. But what you're saying is basically correct. Most small EVs are still lighter than midsize and bigger ICE cars. If you want apples to apples: the 2024 Chevy Equinox EV is 5,000 lbs, whereas the 2024 gas version is approx. 3,400 lbs.

  • When was the last time I changed the oil in my mower?
  • Nah, most push and riding mowers are definitely 4 stroke. You're absolutely correct that 2 strokes need to burn oil and create some visible smoke (to be properly lubricated). Only small, powered equipment (such as trimmers, blowers, and chainsaws) are still commonly made with 2 strokes. My smoking push mower was made in the mid 1980's and is miraculously still running. It apparently has worn seals that are allowing crankcase oil into the combustion chamber.

  • Openvibe combines Mastodon, Bluesky and Nostr into one social app | TechCrunch
  • This takes me back. Y'all made me recall running Trillian Pro with a cracked loader. Oh, and what about DeadAIM?! I feel ashamed (as a current FOSS fan) that I didn't switch to Pidgin until after pirating all the popular AIM alternatives.

  • Microsoft says its Recall uninstall option in Windows 11 is just a bug
  • There's no reason to trust any homebrew or cracked Windows ISO. Just go with Win 10 LTSC. All the bullshit is removed and it has support until 2027. MAS flawlessly activates it. Linux is indeed the better option, and I'll be heading that way soon enough.

  • Google Gemini might soon handle your WhatsApp calls, notifications, and more (APK teardown)
  • I'm certain I initially saw the screen you just posted. I hit "Use a different app" and hit Camera, then later chose Always. Any idea how to alter that double tap behavior to a different camera app (that's not built into Graphene)? That's the situation I'm in now. Thanks!

  • Google Gemini might soon handle your WhatsApp calls, notifications, and more (APK teardown)
  • I'm unable to disable that app (app.grapheneos.camera). Its greyed out. I assume I did get a prompt initially asking me to "Complete action using Camera" and I hit "Always." That was before I found and installed the Google camera (com.google.android.GoogleCamera). So I'm still stumped how to alter that double-tap "Open by default" to a different, non-built-in camera app (and I can't seem to find anything in settings). Not a huge deal, but it would be nice to know. Thanks all!

  • Big Crypto Is Spending More on US Elections Than Any Other Industry
  • Crypto enables freedom, and yes, criminals are kinda into freedom. Imagine cash has never existed and try to pitch that. It would never make it past the board. You are correct that crypto may not help your average American. But its use as a safer haven are important in places like El Salvador, Nigeria, and Curacao.

  • Google denies reports that it’s discontinuing Fitbit products

  • How do you get a random site you like to join the fediverse?
  • I'm deeply puzzled as to how that spam comment was posted under my account 2 days ago. I'm scanning every device for malware now. Does anyone know if there is a way to see more info (to identify which IP/client posted the removed comment)?
