If you literally replaced the firmware, what else could possibly be phoning home?

I don't know how remotes work, physically, but they gotta send some sort of code to the TV. If your TV's OS can intercept that message it can choose its own response mapped to whatever you want to happen. Something akin to remapping keys in your keyboard.

I would assume, anyway. I could be wrong.

That sounds, uh, fun.

I was thinking that if somebody knows how to do that, they probably also have an opinion on which brands of TV are better or worse for it.

I don't own a TV right now but plan to in the future.

 

How do I free my television?

The Queen is still alive and we have her. Just don't tell anyone, okay?

 

"A few days later, DFCS presented Patterson with a "safety plan" for her to sign. It would require her to delegate a "safety person" to be a "knowing participant and guardian" and watch over the children whenever she leaves home. The plan would also require Patterson to download an app onto her son's phone allowing for his location to be monitored. (The day when it will be illegal not to track one's kids is rapidly approaching.)"

I like your reasoning. I'm a libertarian myself, so I get it.

But I held my nose and voted Democrat the last two Presidential elections because I think Trump is a uniquely dangerous person. I hate the "this time is different" argument, but I actually think it applied this time.

Hmm. Interesting argument.

 

And I'm being serious. I feel like there might be an argument there, I just don't understand it. Can someone please "steelman" that argument for me?

 

Should I be looking for a different job?
