Is there anyone who has done a technical write up and investigation into the firmwares? Like reverse engineering how the software on the TVs work. Also what third parties are involved. I have a feeling there must be some third party vendor

By who? Manufacturers have been public about selling viewing data and put it in their user agreements.

Sudo isn't baked into the system. It's an application. https://www.sudo.ws/ Did you read the thread linked?

That backdoor was never pushed out of the testing branches for distros.

Because your post is the repeating cliches that are under every discussion about systemd. You're essentially saying that the month you spent is enough for you to call it bad and the creators incompetent. What qualifies you to make a de

Is that really how they develop software? Because I'm pretty sure that most of the components are optional. You did not even discuss the reasoning given for not using sudo to instead hop on your soapbox to say it's bad software wi

It's a technical article about an esoteric topic, you don't usually get good discussion. Sometimes it's good for a laugh. Like I remember a commenter in one of the XZ posts saying that open source contributors should be requi

iPhones and Android phones don't exist? Perhaps all Android phones are $200 and don't support HDR. There's a lot of windows laptops that support P3 or in the case of some OLED displays exceed Display P3's gamut. The same

If the 16ms latency at 60hz bothers you. Then get a 120hz display which has 8ms latency. Or there's 240hz 4k displays with 4ms If that's not enough then there's 1080p esport monitors with 540hz so 1.85ms.

Who designates it as critical? If someone makes a library and other people start using it, are they forced to reveal their identity? Do the maintainers get paid?

Normal people understand watts. Because they know what an electric heater is. And using 2x to 3x more electricity means more heat in their room. Also many countries have smart electricity meters with in home units which tell them exactly h

Are you giving them money? It seems to be a mostly volunteer driven project. Proprietary SoC vendors use an fork of a very old version of the software so they're not invested. Why not try engaging and see if you can help them automate

It's funny that you generalised a region of 12.2 million but then is offended by someone generalising the US. You've repeated a cliche about the city. Did you live there? Anything particular? That made you decide: "never live

I think it's been 10 years since that Canonical Mir project that created a lot of drama. I remember Intel removing their code from their driver saying they won't support them as Wayland was the future, for example. And it finally
