I've got a 65" LG C2 OLED TV (from 2022) that I hacked with https://rootmy.tv shortly after I purchased it (and before LG updated the firmware to prevent the hack). It seems pretty safe. When it's on, I can ssh in

Well, at the time, Indians (Native Americans) were the largest populaton of non-citizens residing in the country. That is no longer the case today. (There are 10 times more non-citizens than non-citizen Native Americans today.)

So what do you make of the phrase in Amendment 14 section two; "excluding Indians not taxed."? Do you suppose maybe they were trying to limit the representation to citizens?

I believe that most people are in favor of fixing the problems caused by the improper allocation of additional congressional representation to areas with larger populations of non-citizens. This piece complains about the upcoming changes w

Reports say that the newborn died from a ruptured spleen and tested positive for measles. ARS doesn't seem to mention that in their article. No real surprise given their consistent anti-Trump administration position on everything. h

Gates would have had access to Dartmouth BASIC, which he likely referenced and possibly plagiarized while writing Altair BASIC. Back in that day, people shared software freely, so Gates took advantage. https://en.wikipedia.org&#

I agree 100%, but my relatively new house already had Cat6 everywhere, and I did not think it was worthwhile to start tearing up walls. Also, lots of the connected goodies use PoE++ which you cannot do over fiber. (I'm aware of some i

There's also Green Hills, which has a far better product (Integrity) vs. WRS VxWorks. Somehow VxWorks has better marketing and more sales, because their product is cheaper. Both are commonly used for space-borne platforms, and I'
