It’s crap. I’ve listened to a little of it. Generic, predictable, and full of issues like “singers” rapping out 30 seconds of high volume lyrics without a single intake of breath. But it fits in with the general overall quality of available music on Spotify. A sea of boring and low-effort junk.

1,800? Who the F needs that many?

And this is why they get rid of oversight. A Simple inspection of the plans or work to be done would have showed these turbines before they were ever built.

I doubt they’ll be removed.

A lot of our critical infrastructure is connected. From power generation to water to sewer. All have been subject to hacking attempts, some successful.

I have also been saying for quite a long time that these things should not be connected in a way that they can be damaged or disabled by internet.

But y’know, put it all on the web and write controller software for centralized remote operation and monitoring so you can fire people and run the system with less people for more profit.

What an awful “premium” brand. They’re the same ones trying for subscription access to heated seats, remote start, or driver assistance features among others.

What a crap brand.

If they were only just that, AR.

Instead they’re “record everyone around you without their consent and post the footage online without their consent to be commented on and shared by others” glasses.

Because when you destroy the publicly available source you become the only available source. Paid, of course.

The final nail in the coffin for humanity, locking knowledge behind digital sources that are inaccessible in event of catastrophe.

I’m sure at a fair price.

TL;DR: it’s not the screens or tech’s fault. It’s the overall pressure to lower standards and people that for whatever reason can’t work with tech.

After seeing my kids go through school I’d say the chief issues with performance are external. Tech and screens are like any tool, they’re only as good as the user.

Parents and society place less importance on education and critical thinking, in fact they often insult it. Parents teach their kids that they’re not responsible for their failings, it’s the teacher’s or the school’s fault. Parent’s don’t have the knowledge to help with the tech, nor will they police the kid’s use of the tech, either because they dgaf or can’t understand it. Teaching standards keep moving the goalposts to help the least common denominator. Teachers also aren’t allowed to teach in a way, there’s always some “do-gooder” latest study that’s supposed to teach kids better, but it’s bullshit management worried more about studies and metrics than just teaching. Teachers spend more time jumping through hoops than teaching.

After a decade of reddit and over a half million karma I quit for multiple reasons. Primarily the cash grab for the API and forcing the reddit app, but also the explicit acknowledgement that the mods and community were absolutely being exploited for unpaid labor and anyone who didn’t bend a knee could get fucked.

Sounds like middle management, too. Wanting to take credit for the work of others.

Golden age of ignorant people.

Just like investment real estate squatters buying up houses, driving up real estate costs, and then forcing you to rent.

Next, Apple keeps jacking up lease prices.

Why? So their LLM’s can ingest the books and use them to churn out more AI slop?

I’m waiting for AI to delete the sum of internet accessible human knowledge.

But they don’t stop. “Are we the baddies?” is overwhelmed by “I’m making lots of money, fuck the little peasants.”

Mount the camera anywhere and just time the framerate to the spin rate. Going to need some sensor capable of quick capture speeds with high ISO to avoid blur.

Absolutely this, and why they’re fine with executing innocent people on death row, cops killing people who were running away or complying and not a threat, or some DA imprisoning someone for decades on crappy evidence only to be found innocent after half their life is gone.

The odds of someone attacking my tv via the internet are as close to zero that “never gonna happen” is just about right. If it did happen, it would be because they went via the server maintainer for the firmware to attack all the TVs, and if they did that then an updated firmware would just as likely be a culprit.

I’ve had a “smart” TV for about 4 years. It keeps asking to update the firmware.

No. Effin’. Way.

It’s just going to install more and more spyware, bloatware, and find a way to charge me for something I didn’t have to pay for before.
