Ungoogled Chromium and SearXNG are your friends. They do what they say they do, without putting your privacy up for sale.

So, building out gas stations all over the country and regularly shipping fuel to each one of them was doable, but connecting chargers to the existing electrical grid is too difficult?

When the grid is barely adequate for the existing load? Yes, building out infrastructure for a fleet of battery-powered devices is pointless, unless you want to also build out a shit-ton of generating capacity to back it up.

You thought wrong. I have seen Vizio TVs at Costco, although not in a while.

My first LCD TV was a 30" Vizio, purchased at Costco the better part of 20 years ago. At the time, it was a relatively inexpensive HD TV from a company nobody had heard of, but it worked like a champ for me...until some asshole broke into my condo and stole it. :-P

...or SmartTube, which also supports SponsorBlock.

What I'd really like to see is an alternative YouTube client that supports Invidious, so you can move your subscriptions off of YouTube's servers. Invidious works pretty well in a browser window, but an app that runs on Android TV, talks to an Invidious instance (I run my own; it's pretty easy to do), and includes SponsorBlock support would be great. I might even be willing to cut a few bucks loose for such an app. :)

When they load you into the trains, Iâ(TM)ll be taking photos to feed my Ai so folks never forget.

Until the next generation of you calls for censorship and forced speech.

Misinformation is free expression, comrade.

The market belongs to Netflix, Hulu and Amazon. The studios need to make peace with that.

Produce shows for one of those three and negotiate your deal. Standing up all of these new services is not going to work.
I'm not paying for something new. I cut the cord to save money, not just because I hated cable. Having to pay for 8 different streaming services is going to be more expensive than cable and I'm not doing that.

Is this real? Do you have a link to verify this?

They've been doing this for several years already, starting at Gen 8 with their "SmartCarrier" trays. This caught me out when I bought a server and some drives separately and set about bringing up the assembled server. See here for more information. I was eventually able to bring it up after putting the drives in a different knockoff SmartCarrier-compatible tray that I found someplace.

I just got my ET-3760 running again after it had clogged so badly it wouldn't print anything. (This cleaning kit works pretty well for fixing that problem, BTW.) I have had to replace the overflow tank (or "ink maintenance box," as the replacement was labeled), but I've not yet run across the page-counter issue you mentioned.

Between that and an HP LaserJet 1320 that's probably approaching 20 years old now (so it predates HP's enshittification by quite some time), my printing needs should be all set for the foreseeable future.

We'll have to ask them. I suspect denial of decent council.

Out of office by the time the Maoist junta got going?
