Last time i mentioned samsung enshittifying everything on slashdot, i got downvoted.

Its nice to see i was right. Samsung cant resist putting ads in every single thing they make, and its shit.

Why am i getting ads on hardware i have fully paid for?

Samsung gear is already absolute garbage, ridden with "smart" features, requiring internet connectivity, so an AI assistant is DEFINITELY what everyone wants in a fucking tv.

Who cares about the viewers. They are not important.

Youtube made 31.51 billion dollars in 2024.

you dare uninstall something? Not on our operating system/advertising platform/information harvesting system!

I don't know why MS just doesn't buy these guys up.

It works. Perfectly. Fast. Lightweight.

Like the time we made the X mean "accept and install windows 10"

Totally a mistake!

This is how you get an AI overlord. Naming it fucking "Replicator"... the fuck.

Where you can only claim copyright if its possible to purchase said content.

If it's not purchasable at all, then it should not be illegal to archive/store it.

This will force all these companies (ok, sony to be exact) to either pull their head in, or make it purchasable again.

just. no.

this is dumb as shit. go drink a mountain dew.

do the dew.

Same. I keep clicking the link to go back to reddit.. ow.

Then 60 seconds later i do it again.

I think we have problems.

This is the crux right here.

UEFI was mandatory by "suggestion" due to microsoft screaming "your machine will be more secure"

Yet, nothing has changed.

They would also have known that, so the real question is, why push UEFI so hard? Why is it all crypto locked and signed if its so easy to bypass.

Took them a while, but its here. They can now advertise their OS as not allowing "pirate" apps, software, any kind of software at all that is not "Vetted" by microsoft. DRM has gone full circle. The only software you can run is the software they allow. Choice? What choice?

Here i am trying to create an interactive ajax based web server on an arduino mega. All i need to go to is go back to text!

There should be a global "fuckyou@microsoft.com" with a globally available password.

Lots of people (LOTS) of them using this account might get a point across.

Basically means "can we still make this happen but have less people complain about it"
