They show a similar level of respect to their parent company as John Oliver does his.

The chatter on their Discord leads me to believe there's still a pathway to jailbreaking even on the latest version of webOS. I'm still rocking an older TV so can't verify this myself, but I'd be very surprised if you co

I commented this only a few days ago on a different LG related thread. What LG are doing is indefensible and we should all vote with our wallets when considering a new TV... but for those who already own an LG TV you really owe it to yourse

Happy to share it! The community is called OpenLGTV[1]. You'll find a link to their Discord on their website. > OpenLGTV is a collective, non-commercial project for legal reverse engineering and research of LG (Smart and non Sma

My TV is several years old at this point, but I've never had a single ad show up on it. Telemetry is easily blocked via DNS filters and the homebrew software blocks system updates. Modern versions of Apple TV, Plex, Disney, etc all wor

There's an active Discord server (I know, I know...) for LG's jailbreak community and there are some incredibly talented folk on there who know the ins and outs of webOS to a crazy level. I'd recommend checking it out if you&

Jailbroken LG TVs are the panacea of locked down spyware TVs. Although like OP, if I ever lose the ability to run root, then that's the day I look for a new TV (lord have mercy).

New Zealand did this when they introduced/allowed .nz registrations[1]. If you had a domain under .co.nz, .net.nz, etc, you were reserved the right to register the same name under the new TLD. If two different registrants shared the sa

Lego (Denmark). They may not be a financial and industrial juggernaut like the others listed, but cultural significance doesn't have to be all about money.

This is an unfair take. Airlines already take maintenance very seriously. Knock them for their customer service all you want, but engineering doesn't deserve it.

The connector shown in the article is apparently the 24-pin connector known as the Open Maintenance Connector (OMC). It's located in the electronics and equipment bay under the nose of the Boeing 737 NG and 737 Max. I say "apparen

I'm in total agreement with you. I was young and had a greater tolerance for risk than I do now. I don't know what it's like in your city, but when I was riding my commute would be 20 minutes door-to-door versus driving/

Late (late.sh) has solitaire available to play over SSH (along with minesweeper, tetris, battleships, chess... and many more). You'd be surprised at how well a lot of games translate just fine to being rendered on a simple interface.

I'm sure there are many better alternatives to .env, but its ubiquity and support across various tools makes it super convenient. I'm using 1Password's .env integration[1] and although the UX is a bit clunky, I really like it

The regulations currently require all passenger aircraft to be able to maintain positive static stability, which is inherently at odds with the aerodynamics of an all-wing design. As technology and test-flights demonstrate that these design

by ctippett 2mo ago
The design has been in the works since at least the late 1980s which is when the B-2 stealth bomber was developed. For an all-wing design to work the onboard flight control system needs to make thousands of microscopic surface adjustments

I appreciated both yours and the parent's comment. I read the shorter answer first, which was accessible enough to a layman like me that I was left wanting more, which made reading your comment immediately after all the more satisfying

Note: I never said it should be different and certainly wasn't arguing for any side. I was merely making an observation that the settlement seemed like a good deal (for both parties) given the potential for Anthropic to be liable for a

It's not bad value at AUD$4.99 per month (education pricing). I only really use it for Final Cut Pro though.

I stand corrected then. It's been over a decade since I last used Photoshop, so my familiarity with its capabilities are obviously well out of date, I never would've considered it for any sort of vector-based work.

Surely you've got Photoshop (raster) and Illustrator (vector) mixed up?

IANAL, but the parent comment quotes "any profits of the infringer that are attributable to the infringement", which I take to mean it's the profit Anthropic stands to make based on its use of the pirated content that's

It's unlikely the USA would be granted an exclusive patent for the atomic bomb given the well-established existence of prior-art in the form of nuclear fission on the sun. (I actually appreciated your analogy, despite my lark)
