My fridges and washing machines plug into the wall and work when I press the GO button. That's the end of it. I resist "smart" things like the plague.

Texas_Hangover ,

Obviously not, I said they work.

Texas_Hangover ,

That's not how you spell l33t. You fucking n00b.

Texas_Hangover ,

SPIC lmao. They might want to rethink that acronym.

Texas_Hangover ,

Oops! Dyslexia lol. My bad.

Texas_Hangover ,

Being able to block what you want is great, having other people decide what to block for you is not.

Texas_Hangover ,

Shame you didn't learn some basic life skills along with your vaunted education.

Texas_Hangover ,

I haven't seen Maddox in years! That was a memory trip.

What if they decide you're a terrorist? Governments should not have this power period. Anybody can become an "enemy of the state" at any time.

General Motors Quits Sharing Driving Behavior With Data Brokers After Backlash (www.nytimes.com)

The decision followed a New York Times report this month that G.M. had, for years, been sharing data about drivers’ mileage, braking, acceleration and speed with the insurance industry. The drivers were enrolled — some unknowingly, they said — in OnStar Smart Driver, a feature in G.M.’s internet-connected cars that...

You probably bitch and complain about climate change while walking to your car that has been running for 20 minutes too.

Texas_Hangover ,

Yeah, knives are pretty good at cutting things.

Texas_Hangover ,

I choose to believe that you are the real spez, and that's why you're such a fuckwit.

Texas_Hangover ,

we have this at work, utterly useless. water bottles and tape measures routinely set it off, and knives get in "accidentally" all the time.

Texas_Hangover ,

Or one could just rip that shit off because one thought it was a shitty manufacturing error.

Texas_Hangover ,

I could do it after 6 or 8 beers I'm sure.

Cool story.

Texas_Hangover ,

Texas_Hangover ,

No guns involved in this story at all.

BlAmE gUnS 🤪

Texas_Hangover ,

Ahh. So hypothetically blah blah blah guns r bad. Yeah, that makes sense.

Texas_Hangover ,

Well yeah, you don't buy a car built by a list of every motherfucker in the factory, you buy a Toyota or a fucking ford.

Texas_Hangover ,

Congratulations! You fell for the subscription plan lmao.

Texas_Hangover ,

Might not be the exact solution you're looking for, but I run my "smart TV" off a cheap ass laptop. The TV itselfbhas never been connected to the internet.

Texas_Hangover ,

Absolutely! There is no reason for the TV itself to have access, I'm actually using this TV as kind of an experiment, I let my last 2 roku TVs access the internet, and after 2-3 years they both went tits up. I've heard rumors that they can pretty much be broken on schedule with "updates" and shit. No idea if that is true, But if this TV lasts me a good long while, I will assume it is lol. So far 1 year on this one lol.

Texas_Hangover ,

I sure as fuck hope not lol. I don't think my TV has that capability, even if it wanted to. If I don't give it access to my shit, its just a big-ass monitor lol.

Texas_Hangover ,

Did everybody clap?

Texas_Hangover ,

Macaulay Culkin been through some shit.
