Don’t worry. You’ll get the rest of the little ones with your feet.

Ain’t half bad.

In principle, yes, and I believe a few small hobby projects have attempted to do this and support specific TVs. However, interest in developing a custom Smart TV platform tends to get siphoned away into a project where the output from your actual platform is displayed on the TV rather than running directly on it. Simply, it’s easier to develop and maintain support across different models.

Why would you develop a custom TV OS that runs on one TV when you could develop it for any mini PC and immediately support all TVs? You’d have to develop your OS to run on each specific TV model which will make it quite hard to reach a critical mass sufficient to attract attention from developers and users alike.

The juice isn’t really worth the squeeze. It’s not like TV vendors are publishing detailed hardware specs and drivers. Writing or even porting an OS is hard. Look at the state of the Android ROM scene, and that’s about as good as it gets when some vendors are actually attempting to open source their drivers. The difficulty is much higher and the interest lower due to the existence of a viable alternative.

With that said, motivated minds have done it anyway. You just need to have the right TV for it.

HIPAA.

The Guardian is welcome on Lemmy anytime.

Very close. But a little too soon.

I’ve been with Fastmail for a year and it’s always been a very positive experience. Good support. If I had to pick a weak link, I think the spam filtering could be better.

At least it’s better than unalived, which strikes me as especially dystopian with the self-censorship.

Microsoft: Our computer.

Maybe I’m being stupid but a trivial way to ensure this is just don’t connect it to the Internet in any way. No SIM card. Cut it off from the Internet after setup, and only connect to a LAN with your chosen services all physically isolated from any internet machines.

Indeed. This was obviously written by an anon who knows nothing about horses.

And that’s an optimistic estimate you’re giving. It assumes that your horse doesn’t have any issues that need tending to if you’re not a complete asshole or animal abuser.

2nd. They’re for texture in the soup.

Interesting study. However, I think we’re past the point of studies informing our decisions here in the US. I still thought it was really interesting to read.

Critical hit.

That definitely sounds like a feature that should be added. I remember when you couldn’t even export your subscriptions.

I didn’t even know they made anti-satellite missiles.

The intended chair is a huge fan of data caps to increase profits, so I’ll give you one guess.

$1/mb is now the only plan in your area.

ISPs generally have few to zero competition, so I expect this will generally be awful in face of deregulation.

Times running out. I’m sure Trump will do whatever Putin asks him to do.

Nice! This looks really cool.
