Fortunately, I don't pay for electricity in my apartment.

My plasma doesn't have any burn-in as far as I can see, and has a far better picture than my folks' smart TV.

My livingroom TV is from '08 (42" Panasonic plasma TV) and the bedroom TV is from about 2015 (32" Element LCD).
The only ads I see are on OTA broadcast TV.

Awesome... so, no cars, spaceships, AIs.
What about that AI on your TV or car or cell phone?

Oh... what happens when that provider (assume it's Musk's outfits) goes under? Does everything that uses that Tech just get bricked?

Never hear of a galloping shock... I assume that's like charging a Smart Watch.

Batteries can handle welding — but only under controlled conditions. Spot welding is the safest and most effective method for joining battery cells, while welding with a car battery for field repairs is possible but risky and not recommended for regular use.

If you have a better way, all of us on here would love to here it.

Ooh... content blocking (even though that has nothing to do with content); even if any idiot blocked this as 'No Facebook', you _cannot ever_ block that access... I can redirect my port 80 to port 81 and so on.
If they scan my IP traffic for anything facebook.com, and block me (flat out), that could potentially be the largest lawsuit in history.
Long as nobody said anything wrong... there can't be any lawsuit.

Wait... what???

Umm... you have the entire virus/malware/spyware thing completely and totally wrong.

Any virus or spyware or adware quite literally cannot get onto your computer or phone (especially your phone) unless you invite it in by clicking a link.

43" Panasonic plasma... it still works.
Date on the label is '08... still has an awesome picture

It doesn't matter if I or rsilvergun or anyone else game a little or a lot.
I buy a game... (say, GTA6)... I (and every single other person) can only play it _only_ if we have a certain internet or something.
Your online service can delete that game from my collection of owned games that I paid a hundred dollars for.
Oh... and hate to break it to you...... the game deletion happens after like 4 months.

How much do you love your 'cloud provider'?

And, I can stop every single one of those... not to mention, my shit ain't new enough to be worth trying to brick.
Is Sega going to storm my place to shred my First edition of Sonic?

my 43" plasma Panasonic hooked up to my buildings antenna and my tower (straight internet), Apple TV, Blu-Ray, Sony VCR (oh... all in 5.1 surround)... will survive any changes that whoever comes up with, and that ain't gonna change.

I'd wish you shared whatever you had.

Dictator (That's Chaplin's greatest movie, end stop)? You might want to check your grammar. Oh, and what you compare as a Dictator back then and a Dictator now... did Trump order the murder of 30m people of Hebrew descent? That is actually the right way to say it. Hebraic would work too.
Trump got rid of people who shouldn't have been here, whether they had a reason to be here or not isn't up to me or you.

Hey... diesel delivery is diesel. Maybe the US should start processing its own fuel from it's own wells. Y'know, that could create a bunch of jobs.

If you're going off about the election results, realize that The People don't elect the BIC or ViceBIC.
That's handled by the Electoral College... so you don't have any part to play in electing the President or Vice President (unless you're on the Election Board).

If someone, and it doesn't matter who the f*ck it is, claims they'll fix 'whatever'... if they don't We The People should be able to sue and win.
