So being paid to perform a service has now graduated from "handout" to "bribe" in clown world?

In child rapist island world, bad people made deals to grift and graft in between bouts of raping children. One of those people is sitting in the big chair, deciding who gets paid instead of the people the constitution says are supposed to do it. You want to act surprised that people believe the funds are being misappropriated?

The only contractors in the US which have a chance to get anything to the moon are SpaceX, Blue Origin, and Boing. All are hugely problematic for a variety of reasons, and asserting that noticing that is clown shit is itself cuck shit.

How about we stop accepting sub optimal solutions made of bodged together diverse components like some cyberpunk dystopia and actually demand better products that work the way we want?

You shouldn't need to "not connect your TV to the internet". It should work the way you want.

He's asking you to demonstrate your credentials. You claim you modified proprietary OSes, bypasses secure bootloaders with blown e-fuses, unpotted CPUs to access debug connections, bypassed subscription requirements on services, and hacked mandatory network connections to work offline? Demonstrate it. That's the kind of thing that people who are capable of post all over the internet proudly with evidence of how it was done.

The manufacturers won't stand for it, because they lose the potential revenue.

The manufacturers really don't care if 5 of their customers modify their TV. Consumer ambivalence will mean manufacturers won't change, largely because sheeple have come to accept the current experience as the norm.

99.9% of normal customers wouldn't make it past the first 4 words of this Slashdot headline without scrolling on to the next article.

The new stuff isn't worth the time.

That's a roundabout way of saying "I don't care about TV". A great many people definitely find the idea of using a 20 year old "low resolution" display that can't instantly burn the netflix logo into your eyes in HDR1000 quality a "waste of time".

I don't watch TV much either, but I know plenty of people who do, and the resolution of your setup alone, let alone the age and capabilities of the display makes it a non-starter for many who actually enjoy watching movies at home.

Oh I know what you mean. My point was EA was bad before, but the style of buyout of EA basically precludes any idea of innovation in the future. Previously it was just management direction driving it, now it's investor demands and debt fulfilment requirements.

Your analogy breaks down just a bit when you realize that the IT guys don't make less money when nobody clicks, and if management is smart they recognize that the education provided by IT is working and they get a promotion or raise. Dentists also typically don't get blamed when a patient gets cavities, but IT guys *might* be held accountable if they had an education effort and this still continued to occur. It is telling that this thread started with a guy admitting he was stupid enough to click on the link, but has hate for the IT guys exposing him rather than admitting that he is living proof that this kind of thing is necessary.

No, "emberissing" is being so uneducated that you think that it would even be possible to keep such an absurd proposed conspiracy afloat. Either you have never seen the many Black Hat presentations including the OpenAI Hugging Face incident and interviews with experts including Bruce Schneier, Max Tegmark, Roman Yampolskiy, and many, many others or you are stupid enough to be a flat earther. You double down on the "emberissment" by proudly broadcasting your ignorance and stupidity to the world.
