Thank you for the syntax, I didn’t know that. Wish that stuff was in a help box in text entry field or something so it would be quickly accessible so we could all learn it faster.

u/logos asked the same thing, I answered in the thread.

If you’re asking in earnest, the last decade has shown for profit corps know no bounds in using technology to extract, poorly protect, and often aggregate and then will make any attempt to monetize possible–often retroactively. While a dishwasher might not have much data in itself to exploit, if your internet connected TV, Car or phone which is constantly scanning for nearby WI-FI items or networks decided to start cataloguing them…well then that would just be a Tuesday for Google, Ford or Sony right?

The more data points, the worse. More breaches, more creepy facts about us floating around in some creepy company or regime’s stockpile of data to be used, unilaterally against me. Or maybe the next company to buy the current company I’m happy with. Or the next regime that decides people like me aren’t full humans. Between your computer and phone, most people’s lives are somewhat laid bare, but add in car tracking which auto companies have stuck their funnel into during the last 5 years, add in appliances, put Wi-Fi if your shower handle…again the people adding Wi-Fi to things like a dishwasher that don’t need it have only one thing to gain, monetizing your data and selling it to someone who wants to control you in some way.

Thank you, the FCC filing is a good idea, if you find something useful that would be great.

Max is the name of the cat, duh.

I have a 2012 Vizio TV with a Chromecast. I have it hooked to WiFi so that I can cast to it. Is it able to connect to the Internet through the Chromecast?

What was the story on that? I remember reading but can’t recall, just anyone could provide a new email if “locked out” with no verification or something essentially invalidating all security setup to that point? Wasnt that fixed?

It’s not a bribe. It’s a gratuity paid after the service is provided when the electee or appointee leaves office, which is totally palatable and sustainable in a failed democracy.

Sure, the apps are recording all of that, my question is around my TV

I Chromecast content from my computer and phone.

If I don’t watch/stream stuff otherwise, and my TV isn’t connected to anything else I’m aware of, is my data being exfiltrated? It’s a Sony from ~2015

… I’ve also heard of some brands (that I don’t remember atm) that won’t even let you go through the initial setup without a connection.

/Microsoft announced new foray into TVs…

You nailed Ketchup.

Also, mayonnaise is fucking disgusting. I worked at subway in high school and we had to install wide-nozzle tubes on our mayo dispensers because the morbidly obese customers would say things like “I don’t want to be able to see the sandwich, just bury it in mayo” and it would hold up the sandwich line.

Let’s get down to it: top 3 hot sauces? I go Valentinas, green Tabasco, sriracha. Honorable mention, gochujang, tapatio
