This is why webos is shit, and also why I never connected my LG TV to a network.

It's too bad that Google has been shitting up android tv. It's super hard to get useful software onto it. Even most apps which will work fine aren't marked as such so you can only sideload them.

As such, all of the choices are now crap except using a PC

Comment What does this teach kids? (Score 1) 96

My daughter was taught by Facebook to lie, because they required people to be 13 or older to create an account. Rather than jumping through parental consent hoops, a whole generation was taught to just lie about their age, because there was no real verification of age. Those kids now all have Facebook accounts that say they are 5 years or so older than they actually are. How does a French person prove they are 15 or older? Get their middle-aged boyfriend to vouch for them? "I, Humbert Humbert, do solemly swear that Lolita is age 18."

Yes it does matter,

No, it doesn't. It doesn't because this voting system is how we got this shit president, and as long as we don't get a real voting system, it will only happen again. Therefore it is literally insane for anyone to trust us until we fix the constitution. We need to 1) fix the voting system so we can get a real president and frankly even more importantly 2) fix the government so that a malicious president can't fuck everything up, because impeachment and removal are REQUIRED and not merely an option under certain circumstances.

You all know deep down our position in the alternate world with Harris as President is a lot better than here in 2026, she would have been better

Yeah, but we also all know that the Democrats fucked the whole thing up. Biden promised to step aside and then didn't until the very last second, when it was too late for a primary. Simply assigning Harris as the candidate was an epic faux pas. Also, she was frankly a shitty candidate, and not only because maggots won't vote for a black woman. She's a hard authoritarian who refused to condemn genocide, so she was definitely going to continue down the path leading to the end of days.

Go back a little further, the DNC sabotaged Sanders so that they could run Clinton, despite most polls saying that she couldn't beat Trump and Sanders could.

How many times do they have to do these things before we accept that the DNC is deliberately throwing elections?

You think "my AI is so misaligned that it responds to a benchmark task by hacking" is an ad for your products? You think this makes companies eager to allow this on their networks?

It's no different from any other LLM stuff. The execs who want to justify its use will come up with an excuse, like it was the prompt engineer's fault. It's easy to blame humans, and even easier to blame the wrong ones. This is "my AI is so powerful that it can do things which are hard for humans" dressed up in some other bullshit.

Sounds gross, but it is a valuable health reminder. I took my sister-in-law to the emergency room because she was feeling terrible after a heat wave. I kept telling her, "maybe we should stop and get you some water". What did the emergency room tell her? She was just dehydrated. She could have drunk some water and saved be a trip. And yes, if you sweat to much, you do need to replace the electrolytes too. People have harmed themselves just by drinking too much water and diluting thier electrolytes too much.
