Doing anything on Facebook is the opposite of private.

I’m on LibreWolf. What made you switch?

I wish they’d propose a mandate on having the option for disconnected vehicles sold in the US, instead. Privacy-conscious people should not have to resort to finding and disconnecting antennas to reclaim privacy from sketchy data collection. I get that China is the big bad wolf in this discussion, but American companies are just as bad with the data hoarding and erosion of privacy.

Just having the video player be the same across all sites is a win, I don’t even need the multi-threading or pre-cache entire video to love this.

I don’t think I did. I just assumed it would be impossible to detect the home network automatically once WiFi was automatically switched off. Unless off isn’t actually off. Or the “auto on” part was location based.

How does it detect your home wifi if it has turned off wifi? I don’t know Android, but the logic there seems odd. Are you using location services to drive it?

I thought it was a coating, like what they use to filter UV light. I have Theraspecs that do it, but those are sunglasses.

She was just upselling, not actually knowledgeable. They filter some blue spectrum, not the whole color blue.

Nope, but I also feel like Apple would have it off by default, unlike Microsoft.

At some point they are going to have ad channels with content breaks.

Internet traffic gets mirrored to NSA data centers, that’s old news from the Snowden leak.

They are not deleting, they are editing. So the platform would have to undo those edits rather than just flipping the visibility flag.

I don’t work any more productively with more screens. The distraction outweighs the benefits for me.

I’m more productive than anyone else on my team, and would argue more productive than the majority of people in my whole department. I use a single 28" monitor.

“Sharing” is a funny way to word a headline. They are selling it, for a profit, because it’s legal. It’s immoral and shady as hell, but “prevent it or expect it” applies here.

I get Copilot to bail on conversations so often like your example that I’m only using it for help with programming/code snippets at this point. The moment you question accuracy, bam, chat’s over.

I asked if there was a Copilot extension for VS Code, and it said yup, talked about how to install it, and even configure it. That was completely fabricated, and as soon as I asked for more detail to prove it was real, chat’s over.

Coil whine ? Yup. They told me it would go away as I got older and lost range of hearing. Still waiting for that.

Edit: typo

ATV is the only box I recommend. I’m anti-Google, don’t trust Amazon (and now their service is going to do ads on a paid Prime membership), and Roku has major privacy issues at least in the past. Curious why you’re seeking an alternative to Apple.
