I have no doubt people will be able to hack it. What I’m saying is there is no way it could be hacked without the company finding out and forcing you to return it or pay up. When you sign up you have to give them your personal information and credit card. If you disconnect it from the Internet, filter its Internet traffic, or modify it in any way they will tell you to return it and if you don’t return it they will charge the credit card.

From their terms of service:

In order to use the Product and Services, You will:

(a) Use the Product as the primary television in Your household;

© Not use any software on Your WiFi network that with advertising blocking capability.

(d) Not make physical modifications to the Product or attach peripheral devices to the Product not expressly approved by Telly. Any attempt to open the Product’s enclosure will be deemed an unauthorized modification.

If we discover that You are not abiding by the requirements above or have disconnected the Product from an internet connection or WiFi for more than short periods each month, You will no longer be able to use the Service and You must return any Products in your possession to Telly. Failure to return Products to Telly will result in Telly charging the credit card on file.

No, the maker has stated they have measures in place to detect any tampering, and that if you tamper with the device, fail to connect it to the Internet, or do not use it frequently they will make you return it or pay for it.

They have said that they can’t stop people from doing that, but that the settings menus, such as the input switcher, will be on the bottom screen.

The settings menus (input switcher, etc) will be on it. Also it will collect data on anything you view using the main screen (HDMI input, etc) regardless.

They have stated they have measures in place to detect anyone trying to do that and will require them to return the TV or pay for it.

“All-one or none”

After reading the article it is clear to me that Meucci made precursors to the electromagnetic telephone but did not actually invent the modern version as popularized by Bell.

There is no solid evidence for him having created the device or even described how it was created before Bell. He experimented with a bunch of similar things, and filled a patent caveat that described the general concept (i.e. sending voices over a wire using electrical current), but it contained no details as to the actual mechanism. All his descriptions of how he created the device were made years after he claimed to have built it, and after Bell’s version was widely known.

Indeed, topograpgically it is not a hole.

You’re welcome

What about elephants? Or blue whales?

Per the bible humans were created after all the other animals IIRC.

Awesome, will start using this.

I think the big players in the AI space want excessive regulation because it raises the bar of entry to the field. It will be mildly inconvenient for them, but prohibitively inconvenient for most startups and open-source projects.

Why the first reaction frame? Instagram is owned by Meta, of course they’re going to have incredibly invasive data collection policies.

There’s a large influx of new users on larger instances that the admins are struggling to deal with at the moment. It will hopefully level out eventually. If it’s that big a deal, join a smaller instance, it will have fewer issues. That’s the beauty of federation.
