He pokes his head in here every once in a while. The last update was actually on November 18th, a few days after this post was made.
Honestly, Connect is stable enough now that any dangling bugs are tolerable and anything I would ask about in this community would likely be a feature request anyway.
I just had a weird cyclical crash happen though and had to bounce my phone. Connect was triggering a continuous loop of it being hung. It’s not happening now and hasn’t happened before. I blame Android.
Here’s the kicker: A ton of things that are actually are stupid do actually turn into stupid products. “As Seen on TV” being the primary source of those things…
Innovation is probably one of the best, and worst, features of war. Simple concepts that do not have any other place in society could save, or cost, thousands of lives. It’s weird.
This idea of remote controlled cars shuttling explosives is not new. There were probably Allied versions, but the German version of such a thing was the Goliath. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goliath_tracked_mine
If you can remove the app from the TV, that may work. It’s probably polling for updates or trying to cache a picture or something for the login screen.
Just like every other app on your TV, Netflix probably has a running service that is collecting all of your viewing habits and piping it to Nexflix whether or not you have an account. (Smart TVs come with extensive terms and conditions that you probably agreed to.)
Smart TVs are cheaper these days mostly because the hardware costs are subsidized by having pre-installed apps like Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, etc. And yeah, they all want your data and they all want to participate in the advertising racket.
What is wrong with a little synthphetamines, synthium or synthanyl washed down with a nice tall glass of synthehol? Oh. Crack cocaine you say? Straight to brig.
Same. However, I have rarely been able to solve a technical problem with Reddit posts or comments. It’s a better source for random experiences about something.
For random technical problems with new software or hardware, Reddit quality is not as good as it used to be, IMHO.
For somewhat niche hobbies, like my mushroom growing, subjective experiences may be helpful to take into account. Reading dozens of different opinions about a problem in a hobby that has hundreds of different variables has its uses. (For example, if you want to test something specific, you can get an idea about the range of conditions to test.)
