I’ll have the brussels sprouts appetizer.
I have a TCL and it works just fine without internet.
Honestly, if I bought a TV, brought it home and it refused to function without internet I’d march that thing right back to the store for a refund.

Pretty sure the internet would collapse in a matter of hours.

I hope everyone reading this knows that you can just not connect a “Smart” TV to the internet. Leave it as a “dumb” TV.
Get a separate device like a Roku or AppleTV or Amazon Fire or whatever. The garbage hardware that TV manufacturers slap inside a TV so they can advertise its “smart” features will always be inferior to a purpose built external device.
To say nothing of the security implications of having an unpatched probably unsupported IoT device running on your network for years.
Ever notice that this movie is basically the same story as The Three Amigos?
Ha! Came here to say this. Ya beat me to it.
BetterTouchTool (which isn’t free but is worth every penny) lets you do everything rectangle does. Also lets you configure your mouse buttons to do whatever you want. Also infinite custom hot keys and shortcuts.
Also Raycast as a replacement for Spotlight.
Pretty much anything by Electric Six or Clutch. Honorable mentions to Soul Coughing and VNV Nation.
Karma chameleon, you come and go ⋅ Karma police, arrest this ho. ⋅ Karma’s a bitch, it gets a little jumpy when you come near.

Like Harry Truman dropping bombs out of the air ⋅ Like any self-respecting multi-billionaire ⋅ This is who you are, five dancing teenage boys ⋅ Who sing their way into our hearts ⋅ Backstreet’s back, alright

Next thing that I did was tap out Morse code ⋅ With a wooden nickel on the receiver of the phone ⋅ Before I could complete it, I was quickly overtaken ⋅ By the angry spirits of Ronald and Nancy Reagan

But he also discusses why things froth and some of the science behind it. Might be helpful when selecting an alterna-milk?
I’m curious, what brand/model is the frother?
Just gonna leave this link here, since it’s comprehensive in a general way.
ah, damn. thanks for the info!
And because I drink coffee and I’m a total klutz…
Just a word of advice about any/all non-cast-iron pans… never take a hot pan and run it under water. It may create a very satisfying blacksmith blast of steam effect, but it almost invariably results in the bottom of the pan warping to be not-quite-flat.
Things I have done with my Pi(s) –
Hell yes. My Brother printer is just a solid workhorse.
TSA Pre-check.
Yes, it’s fucking obnoxious that it exists at all, given the “security theater” of it all, but man… being able to breeze past the super long lines at the airport is such a better experience.
Might I suggest a “single column” version as well, for the folks on mobile devices? 😁
To be honest I’m still skeptical of the Fediverse as a long term endeavor, but I’m going to give it a fair shake in the meantime.
That said, I was never much of a heavy user of twitter or reddit anyway, so watching the Fediverse explode while various corporate entities implode is just popcorn entertainment.
The video takes a long time to say this:
There’s a new (and concerning) service known as “Plist FMI off” which appears to be able to unlock an iPhone that would otherwise be locked and useless to thieves.
Disabling iCloud lock / Find My iPhone lock should be something only possible by someone working from inside Apple – thus implying that there’s likely an insider involved in this. Or at the very least, a security flaw in Apple’s network that’s allowing this to happen.
The Youtuber seems to think that Apple should be forthcoming about declaring this vulnerability exists. IMHO, he is wrong to think that. Declaring the flaw before it’s been patched would only create a rash of iPhone thefts.
Ideally, Apple is now aware of this situation, and is doing internal investigations to correct it.
Pretty much anything by Yuval Noah Harari: Sapiens, Homo-Deus, and 21 Lessons for the 21st Century
Taken as a trilogy of sorts, they manage to do a great job of explaining how humanity got to where we are now, and assuming current trends continue, where we’re headed in the future. All without being super dense and academic.
Just came here to say that this also affects any applications that use the libwebp library.
That includes many apps that most people don’t think of as “browsers”.
Electron based applications all use chromium under the hood, and are quite common/prolific these days.

Expect updates to a lot of things in the near future.
