It's relatively easy to restrict a smart tv to TLS/HTTPS traffic only using your router and a dns adblocker.

him being friends with mehdi (electroboom) is good enough for me. i personally found derek annoying years ago but he and his team seem to be putting some serious work into their episodes these days. one i saw recently had animation on par with the Cosmos reboot from a while back.

EDIT: Talking about people like tyler, you were just providing neutral commentary which I appreciate.

original comment: Jesus, people on the internet are like fucking elephants. One mistake, even if it's corrected and they change, and a creator gets branded for the rest of their career. What a joke, acting like people can't change from experience.

Man, you aren't wrong but I feel a bit bad for Keiko's actress. She was probably just brought in for a one-off thing (Data's Day) but then the writers kept bringing her back even though she has like no on screen chemistry with Colm Meaney. And then Miles gets promoted to a regular cast member on DS9 so they had to bring her in even more.

oh shit this is FASCINATING. i'm glad you had a landlord that at least dealt with the problem instead of blaming you after the first couple times.

what the fuck data are they trying to use to train LLMs? DNS? basically everything else these days is encrypted and unreadable by them (for the time being), and DNS is easily masked as well (DoH, DoT, etc). maybe i just answered my own question, they want to train a model that can surreptitiously spy on encrypted traffic.

edit: here's some info on the "traditional" method of monitoring encrypted traffic, but this is typically done in organizations and requires having special certificates on every customer device

Right? They should be making them watch the entire Lord of the Rings extended trilogy instead.

consumer level copyright infringement is generally a civil matter, not a criminal one. you'd have to be doing something like selling bootleg dvds for it to turn into a criminal issue.

For me it was buying star trek the next generation on blu-ray and getting annoyed with having to flip through fifty disks to watch an episode.
