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.
I used to split up my accounts across devices. This account name was supposed to be my mobile account name. Eventually, the other account names went away and this one stuck.
I’m not the developer, but just noticed that Lemmy Connect 1.0.152 was available on the Play Store Beta Channel. Thank you @kuro for your continued support....
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.
Just want to let be known I am very greatful for this wonderful app! I’ve used it every day for months and it has largely defined my experience with lemmy. As a software dev I know how exhausting it can be implementing all these thoughful features and I’m blown away by the quality/feature set. So, thanks!
Don’t know to who and never cared. Anytime I get the “privilege” to see that shit it’s because of a security incident. People do stupid things and I don’t waste my time trying to figure out why, generally. If it seemed that something illegal was happening, it got passed to HR and law enforcement. Similar to our guy above, I just care about the IT security bits.
This is only dealing with work emails, we do not have access to your external email.
This is the comment of a person who has been dealing with end users for way too long. Did he need to say that on Lemmy? Absolutely not. This was a statement made because he probably gets asked that question on a daily basis by executives who are worried having their dick pics exposed by the IT department. (As an IT security person who had an IT support job at one time: We have seen enough dick pics on corporate email and stopped giving a fuck years ago, to be honest.)
You poor, poor bastard. Can someone get this person a beer or twelve?
And not so long ago, you did get heard, but there was also a 50/50 chance of being called a capitalist pig and a baby killer regardless of what you contributed.
It seems that everyone has found their own corners on Lemmy now, so that is nice.
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.
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
The alien.top instance block will not be applied correctly after filter is added. I believe part of the problem is that they use a generic name, selfhosted.forum, maybe?...
