I have that same Cuisinart from Costco, and the built-in program does just fine itself. There also must be a battery because the clock doesn’t lose time when the power goes out

These aren’t to keep an eye on people sneaking in, they’re to catch people escaping out.

I’m sure there is, but Google’s core business is advertising. It would almost be counterintuitive for them to sell that data when they make more money utilizing it in their own systems.

I understand all that, but point is that they don’t necessarily sell you profile or data points to a third party, they use all of that for their own targeted advertising

Iirc Google doesn’t sell data in the traditional sense, they package profiles for advertisers and their own ad network, but they don’t outright sell individual data. I could be wrong though.

I mean I hate to say it, but at this point what are our options? Because our elected representatives refuse to do their jobs and these corps keep doing shady shit without consequences. I don’t mean to victim blame or anything, but with the current state of affairs, the onus is on the user to protect themselves.

If you connect you TV directly to the internet, that’s on you at this point.

I just tell people to try and find a legal streamable copy of Dogma.

I liken it to hiring a plumber/electrician/carpenter vs figuring it out myself. Instead of using a website on someone else’s computer, I use websites on my own computer.

… For now.

Yeah but if Verizon were to, say, collect usage data so they could figure out where to charge more to unthrottle specific apps, this type of data could be quite useful.

Pixels. That’s it.

Well yeah, since device trees are no longer available going forward from Google, they’d be dead in the water otherwise.

Absolutely agree. My DD distro accidentally gets borked sometimes as fiddling can go too far, and it’s become essential that it doesn’t interfere with services my wife uses (file storage, movies/tv, etc). Plus, if everything was going down every so often, she’d probably start looking at me twice for the money I’ve invested in my server rack.

I have one box running TrueNas Core as a straight file server only, and another box running Proxmox for applications plus VMs for projects, as well as network gear and a surveillance NVR. Thankfully, she never sees the power bill. But, this way everything keeps humming and I don’t get an earful.

The wank auditor will see you now.

Eh it’s a lot of hq BluRay rips of disks I don’t have anymore. I could reacquire and rerip, but it’d be a total pita. The rest is personal docs/photos/etc. I’ve been spitballing sticking a NAS at my mom’s, but money’s tight right now.

DVDs also go shitty after a while (many years, but still).

Looks at my 60tb media archive

There’s got to be a cheaper way.

But can you really jam it?

I have a custom domain set up on proton for my business, and I haven’t had issues either. My personal @protonmail.con address hasn’t had problems. I think this is typically an issue when setting up a local mail server, and gas something to do with security certs.
