“A factory reset returns the TV to its original, out-of-the-box state. Performing a factory reset will remove all stored personal data relating to your settings, network connections, Roku data, and menu preferences.”

This is more for people like me who already have one and still need to use it as a monitor, but want to make sure that Roku never collects another bit of data from us.
I couldn’t find a Community community on Lemmy, so I made one. Come join me and the one other person who’s subscribed so far.

My unproven hypothesis is that everybody’s a little nuts, just maybe not clinically so.
The location and orientation of the wipers and high beams always takes a few days to get used to.
It depends. Using OPs scenario, if all data, ads and updates, are served from data.samsung.com, then the pi hole can’t help. But if ads are served from ads.samsung.com and updates from updates.samsung.com, then you can blacklist the ads while still receiving the updates.
My experience with a Vizio is that the pi is blocking a lot of the “phoning home” connections, but the ads seem to be integrated with the software that allows me to use apps, so I still see them when I use the TV’s apps. More and more though, I’m using the HDMI port with my HTPC.
I stopped watching local news when they started having the anchors pitch to ads like they were just another news item.
There is no such thing as fate. Life is what it is. Make the best of it.
It’s basically a nicer way of saying “shit the bed.” I picked it up from the Tony Kornheiser podcast. It’s a running bit there.
I think what happened to Yelchin is a separate issue. The joystick was still a physical object that gave tactile feedback. The design was fine, but GM flushed the mouse on the implementation.
Where we have a bigger problem is when common vehicle controls are just an image on a screen, and a driver has to take their eyes off the road to do something simple like change the A/C temperature or skip a song track.
All ads from the various companies that have hired Matthew McConaughey to teach me the art of zen or something.
There would be a class action lawsuit where lawyers take two thirds of the settlement and those affected would get enough for a fancy Starbucks coffee.
Paying monthly for Apple, Netflix & YouTube TV. Paid for a year of Prime just before they announced they were adding ads. Got a year of Peacock with ads last year for $20. Also have a yearly subscription to Tennis Channel Plus.
I usually rotate a few of the monthly subs every 3 to 6 months to catch up on some shows and movies I’ve missed, but I’m getting closer and closer to cancelling them all. Too expensive and too much time on the couch.
It’s called coal ash, and we’re still paying Duke Energy to not clean up their own mess.
I scroll through all/hot a couple times a week and I don’t find the content nearly as funny, interesting or engaging as it used to be. There’s definitely something different about the algorithm that is making the content more sanitized for a wider audience.
He’d cook it to order, plate it beautifully, then bring it out and slap you in the face with it.
Surprised I didn’t see it here, but this is the big one. I was raised in a very religious household and, while I no longer subscribe to that or any other religion as the absolute truth, I still don’t believe in evolution. I don’t think capital-G God made Adam and Eve, but I believe in the possibility that a powerful extra dimensional being organized things and set them in motion so that life as we know it exists.
Summary judgment seems unlikely given the vagueness of the email. But maybe it gives Taylor more incentive to offer a decent settlement to Kytch. If it goes to trial, will be interesting to see how it plays out.
That’s one of the reasons I’m hoarding now.
