That honestly just reminds me of the old "wii have a problem" site/meme, where people were regularly launching their Wiimotes into TVs. Or walls.

Should make a thread about VR if we don't have one, I'm getting really curious about it these days.

My grandfather did that with his old TV back then. But that was because the on/off switch was broken and had to be kept pressed at all times. So something was inserted into it to force it pressed, and the wall switch was used to turn off the TV.


I hope normal appliance will not end up disappearing completely in favor of 'smart' garbage. It's even worse with people like my parents "this is progress, you have to follow" "lol dinosaur" etc... I get shit like "you refuse anything that is new!!" just because I don't mindlessly praise anything presented as 'progress'. I don't 'refuse anything that is new', I only refuse to be a sheep.

Not that I care much as long as TVs are concerned, I don't watch TV.

We don't have anything of the like over here. Maybe the thermostat is a smart one now, since that got replaced at some point last year. My parents aren't that great with technology, and I don't think they'd have much use for smart stuff anyway. I might be pretty stubborn about not adopting new tech quickly myself.

It's funny that I don't think I've ever seen anyone happy with smart TV's (either theirs or in general). Sure, people who are content with theirs don't have much reason to talk about it compared to people with complaints, but I've seen at least a few positive things said for most other smart stuff. The only thing I might care to have a TV for myself is connecting my NES to one.

From what I understand some (or maybe most) of these things just stopped working once the servers have gone down, even in case where they only use the thing for connecting to your phone and updates. I don't know if there's any reason apart from greed or laziness to do so, but I can't think of any reason for these things not to be able to continue function in those cases even for smart TVs. In the worst cases the most that'd have to be done is to have the app be able to do a bunch of the statistics and whatever locally. Even if they can't be arsed with that basic functionality should still be possible.

IoT can also die in a fire, unless and until Every. Single. Fucking. IoT. Manufacturer makes sure that Every. Single. Fucking. IoT. Device runs on a single standard that is not only open-source but absolutely impervious to advertisers, malware, government backdoors, and being closed off/general crapitalism.

What I really hate about IoT is how ubiquitous it is and how many people are totally cool with it taking over everything, even things that might actually have its functionality harmed by being IoT. For stuff like TVs that's not an issue for me personally since I have a Sony KV27S25 that fulfills all my needs and will for the forseeable future, but how about a smart door lock? I'm not sure why it exists, but it does! Better hope random company that does nothing but smart door locks doesn't go out of business, or that someone trying to get into your house can't just... pretend to be the company or you and open your door without a hassle. It's a waste of electricity, too, since you have to throw a computer and a display in there too that have to be on all the time.

Thankfully, I haven't seen anything of the sort down here. That might just be because I don't live in a very rich area though.

It was only a dozen or so years ago that even the most ridiculous Hollywood hacker films would have laughed you out of the room if you suggested hacking someone's oven, light bulb, or toilet.

It was very recently that the idea of remotely hijacking a car's steering control over the Internet was unthinkable. It was literally not possible.

What an age we live in.

We're basically living in the Mega Man Battle Network world. Only without the cool stuff, the PETs and NetNavis and NetBattling. And I hate it here.

If we all have to have this IoT garbage eventually, I want to be able to literally bust my oven's viruses with my Navi, damnit!

This has been my perspective ever since IoS became a thing 5+ years ago. It's kinda hard to wrap your head around that MM BN of all things was the most accurate future prediction.

The alt attribute should be used to give a short description
of an image; longer descriptions should be given with the
longdesc attribute which takes a URL linked to the description.
These measures are needed for people using non-graphical browsers.

For further advice on how to make your pages accessible
see http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL.
You are recommended to use CSS to specify the font and
properties such as its size and color. This will reduce
the size of HTML files and make them easier to maintain
compared with using <FONT> elements.

You are recommended to use CSS to control line wrapping.
Use "white-space: nowrap" to inhibit wrapping in place
of inserting <NOBR>...</NOBR> into the markup.
