Says who?

You are allowed to take screenshots of Netflix, even under the DMCA on DRM protected material. You are not allowed to use it commercially though. Personal use only.

I dunno. I was able to open my wife's Sony Xperia to DIY battery swap, and then break (and fail to resolder) the antenna in the process. Can't be that hard on a smart TV.

No, the point here is that if you use the "smart" features, which includes running apps from their appstore, like Netflix or Disney+, it will not send the data. But if you connect your laptop via HDMI and then play Netflix in your browser, it will, because it's not smart enough to recognize and differentiafe video and audio data coming in through that port. I don't think it matters if it's a DRM enabled browser or not. It should be acting as a second monitor only in those cases, nothing more.

Just like their search engine, making you scroll down further and potentially not even wanting you to leave their page, maps is trying to send you into the vicinity of more physically so you can go into their store and tell them that you found them along a route suggestion.

I don't think the above is true. At this point I'm just trying to give them ideas on how to enshittify it more.

Did you go beyond the headline?

They found the smart TVs did not appear to upload any screenshots or audio data when streaming from Netflix or other third-party apps, mirroring YouTube content streamed on a separate phone or laptop or when sitting idle. But the smart TVs did upload snapshots when showing broadcasts from the TV antenna or content from an HDMI-connected device.

You mean like Steam Machine?

I think the mice and keyboard requiring "Chrome" is actually due to WebHID. WebHID is only supported in Chromium browsers. Now here's the fun part, this thread has VIA mentioned a couple times and even though VIA/QMK/ZMK are FOSS, the usevia.app website requires a, you guessed it, WebHID capable browser.

That said, don't use Logitech keyboards. Sell it to a sucker on local and buy any of the above compatible keyboards instead. Drop CSTM, Luminkey, Keychron, Akko, QK NEO, CK Bakaneko, there's probably couple more that are affordable and quality. Just don't fall for GMMK, Ducky and other pseudo-gaming crap. Also visit [email protected] and ask questions.

Not sure about your trackball problem.

Wizardry 7 comes to my mind. My party has been resting for days, trying to recover hp and sp from the last random encounter. And now as I'm jumped and half obliterated again because not everyone in the party woke up immediately to being attacked, it's time to rest for another week.

11 pro and never had this problem. Screen dimmed to minimum and Night Shift turned on, it still unlocks just fine.

(319,000 / 293,000,000) * 100 = ~0.11%

Not 0.001%. Unless you were just overexaggerating their insignificance on purpose. However that's then potentially 319k less voters for the Dems.

Plum with chicken and some bryndza (sheep's milk cottage cheese) was one of the best pizzas I've ever had.

Also apple, tuna, bryndza.

I'm just really longing for some bryndza right now.

Not to mention that wind turbines and solar parks are faster to set up AND scalable. A nuclear plant is neither.
