I have a LG WebOS TV. I do not care who knows what I am watching but I would prefer not to have anyone listening to my conversations or reading transcripts of same.

I don't think I've ever displayed my login password on this TV, but I have probably displayed my wifi password, and probably other passwords. A clever program running on this TV could conceivably give away my secrets even though I've never connected it to a network.

Someone do Samsung next I guess, that's the other basically competent brand in this price range.

I didn't think it would be spying even if I never connected it to a network. I don't know yet whether it still is somehow, because I'm precaching the video to make sure I get to watch the whole thing. It would have to have a cellular modem in order to report anything back in my neighborhood since there's no open APs, unless of course it hacked something. That would be exciting.

When the only person complaining about my comment is a functionally illiterate coward I know I've hit the mark. Thanks.

This is an incredibly frustrating time to try to use a GPU in general. On Windows, both drivers are shit. On Linux, the closed source drivers are all shit, but the AMD OSS driver is pretty good. And despite this, AMD won't open the floodgates and give away enough information to actually make it as good as it could be. They have absolute proof that they cannot do as well as the community, but they absolutely refuse to let the data flow. And yet, they are still multiple times as helpful as Nvidia.

Survivorship bias detected. Irrelevant comment always follows.

These statistics come from a survey of households, so it's functionally non-representative to begin with because the data only comes from the kind of people who bother to answer surveys from the government. But more importantly, the methodology is shit:

People with jobs are employed.
People who are jobless, looking for a job, and available for work are unemployed.
The labor force is made up of the employed and the unemployed.
People who are neither employed nor unemployed are not in the labor force.

For one thing, those rules are INHERENTLY CONTRADICTORY because a person can have work and be seeking work at the same time; per these rules a person who is in this position has not been classified because they are both employed and unemployed. This is where we should go back to the drawing board because the BLS has outright told us that their methodology is broken, but:

The BLS is not counting the underemployed. The BLS doesn't know who "lost" their job (or it just turned out to be bullshit) between the time the survey was completed and the time the statistics were published. People are considered employed if they did any work at all for pay or profit during the survey reference week. This doesn't tell us whether they can actually meet their needs. No job should be allowed to exist which doesn't pay enough for an average person to meet needs if they do it full time, but plenty of such jobs have been allowed to exist, so this methodology is entirely insufficient and seemingly deliberately designed for falsehood.

Can we trust any other source? No. There is no trustworthy source of this information because employers are not required to report enough information to the government to have trustworthy information. This is also by design. And I'm not talking about motivations here, you can draw your own conclusions about that, but the system is literally not designed to collect that information and there's really no argument to be had about that.

No, those pay well because they want the work done quickly. On the other hand, the work disappears quickly.

His anger about your not being stupid enough to buy his excuses for his full-throated support of oppression of muslims in China is causing sparks to come out of his ears. Quite satisfying really when you can watch it happen.

They were forced into it, yes. You think that's a good thing because you're in favor of ethnic oppression, which is in turn why you support China. Then you tell us all how bad we are for being ignorant. Well, we aren't, we can see exactly what you are.

In the USA we do exactly the same thing except it's done by private corporations. That's literally what your credit score is, for example, except it's all economic activity. But the USA is as close as you can get to pure capitalism (and keeps trying to get closer) so that's the only thing they really care about: Whether you will produce profit or debt for the investors who profit from the system, i.e. the ultra-wealthy.

I don't know what makes you imagine that the people running your life don't have access to your credit card records, but you should work on that.

Largest automotive market + captive market. It's actually very simple.

Welcome to Slashdot.

Why would an electrified vehicle do that? It would be a sign of garbage design and engineering.

I see this got modded down but I also see that dumb fuck fucked off.

I'm gonna go ahead and call that a win not despite but because of the cowardly fuckery.

This is just another variation of BYOD. I don't know how many job functions soldiers carry out on their phones, but they are employed the entire time they are deployed so even if they are only using it for R&R they are still doing that under the auspices of breaks between job functions. As such they should be issued devices.
