This is exactly what I do on the other TV, as I suggested in a different message in this thread. But this particular TV is mounted flush to the wall and there's physically no space for the apple TV anywhere near or behind it. Sacrifi

well, if that was the case with my TV and/or if I was worried, I've got a soldering iron and I'm not afraid to use it

Fun fact: some (most?) Samsung TVs of the last ~6 years can't complete OOB setup if they're connected to a PiHoled network with the most vanilla PiHole filters

PiHole doesn't block IPs. It blocks DNS. The device have at least three ways to bypass PiHole: use external DNS directly, or pin the phone-home servers' IP addresses, or use some other protocols to carry IP resolution. I'd

the only TV I have connected to the home network (guilty, I admit), Sony OLED 65, ARP floods my network about 12-15 hours after "turning off". On a plus side, it doesn't appear to be streaming anything out: no local DNS hits

I find it amusing that the biggest supporters or Russia in its current war of aggression against Ukraine are/were Hungary, Slovakia, and Serbia -- precisely the countries that should know better, since they were the principal recipient

I've noticed that ALL the devices I plug into my UPSes have external power bricks. Most of them are either 5V, 12V, or 19V So, I replaced all my UPSes with LiFePO4 batteries supplied by Victron AC->12V chargers. Routed the battery

This concept raises more questions than the site answers: * what's the point of landing in tow? The safety aspects and the failure modes are enormous * it's unclear where the 65% fuel saving comes from. Riding the wingtip vortex

Well, if all the interesting signals are on the mezzanine, what's the point of the Arduino form factor and pinout? Just to claim that they're supporting a widely used platform? Engineers can see through it. The more I look at it

This is desperation and I think it will go nowhere good. Arduino has neither technical (standards, form-factor, pinouts), nor mindshare among developers that can be useful for high-speed, modern and upcoming AI-on-the-edge applications. It

Which is kind of sad, since the Uno pinout is horrible for high-speed signals

The history of your posts, oh my... But I will attempt to provide an answer in earnest. All sane people are against an endless war. Or, any war for that matter. The only state that can be compared with an endless war is a mid-war period:

That border is either mountain ranges (Altai), or empty steppes (Zabaikalsk), or boreal forests (Amur and Vladivostok). Either way -- the area lacks infrastructure and even roads, for the most part. It doesn't provide any military ad

As it is usual in many areas of human endeavor, newcomers to the field tend to criticize design decisions that were made before them, only to re-invent what was already invented. Sometimes it leads to improvements in the field, via rejectio
