I’m back to report my findings. I covered over the light with electrical tape, but I hit a problem. Now my remote control doesn’t work.
They’ve combined the IR sensor with the LED that flashes when there is no internet connection present. The clever bastards clearly thought of this ahead of time.
This is malicious design.
You’re right. Might as well do it. Stop letting them harvest my data. I just hope there isn’t some sort of persistent pop up or anything annoying.
My smart TV flashes a light until it has been connected to the Internet 🙃
I’ve heard that the commercial display panels are more expensive, because they’re geared towards enterprise use.
This is a really good perspective too!
Completed a torrent I was downloading for almost 2 years by adding trackers from this list. It helps!
All my life, I’ve watched the US slide. But it’s crazy it’s falling apart right now. Seems surreal for some reason.
I care about Americans and America. There are many good people, who care about me, and us. They deserve to thrive in a secure, prosperous country. I don’t want to discount a nation just because of the idiots.
I love the African philosophy of ubuntu: ‘I am who I am, because of who we all are’
Don’t forget the skin-flutists!
🤣🤣🤣
I never did a DNA test but both my parents did… How screwed am I?
Art of the deal!
Seems to be a cultural thing. Here in Canada I see mL and L most often for drinks.
One quirk of metric I have taken a liking to recently, is in Japan, apparently they measure their object dimensions in mm. ‘The size of one sheet of Letter paper in mm is 279.4mm x 215.9mm.’ I don’t know why, but for some reason I like this.
I went to the states a couple years back. Went to a tavern and was deciding on a beer. Bartender overhears I’m Canadian and tells me the size of the pints in decilitres 🙄
For what it’s worth, I’m pretty comfortable with FL oz from reading soda cans and stuff. I just find it crazy how unintuitive metric is to some.
I appreciated his effort, I just thought it was funny
I can tell the future based on what color of shirt I wear. If I wear a white shirt, I know I will probably eat spaghetti or pizza that day.
Sometimes the things preventing us from being mindful are also the reasons why being mindful would be so beneficial in the first place.
That is a really interesting point! It never occurred to me, but you’re right
I’m glad your treatment and mindfulness are bringing you healing!
mindfulness hijacked
I can see that! Evil people in the world like to blame the victim, they want us to turn our focus inward instead of on their bad actions. We see that with corporations as well.
abused by half of people
There are lots of good people, but lots of jerks too. I find where I live, it’s really common for people to just be casually… mean to each other? Especially in a work setting. It drives me crazy, I feel like people need to wake up to how we affect each other.
social credit
It’s been banned for now, but can we really say for certain it won’t come to pass? Even as a fringe side-project that becomes popular or something? I agree on your points that it would be a motivator, as well as it being abused by those at the top.
I wish I could master mindfulness.
