- Comment on It's pretty cruel, particularly for non-native English speakers, that 'lose' and 'loose' seemingly switched spellings, meanings and pronunciations with each other when no one was looking 12 hours ago:
Wait, if they swapped meanings and then swapped spellings then doesn’t that mean they’re the same as before?

When the AI Crash wipes out nVidia’s demand in the server market they’re not gonna have any loyal customers in the desktop market right as the tech boom comes to places formerly reliant on smartphones. Then they’re gonna be like surprised_pikachu.jpg

I believe its being used in the same contextual format as it would the time period of Uncle Tom, similarly to how quotes work.
You shouldn’t censor history.

- Comment on Is it possible to install my own OS on a "smart" TV? Is that a thing? 4 days ago:
Ah, well, the biggest thing you have to worry about is that most vulnerabilities that would allow users to get ROOT access have been patched for old and new TVs, so you might want to be selective if you don’t want to do it the hard way. You need to know which TV OS you’re dealing with before you can look for the necesary tools.
The hard way is removing the SoC processor from the board, buying a custom mount for it, and using the debug pins to flash the OS. Most of the legwork has been done already for this method. www.synacktiv.com/en/publications/i-hack-u-boot
Something to keep in mind is that the processors in smart TVs are almost always pathetically slow. Also, the streaming services compatible with these TVs require hardware encryption so if your modified OS mimics the old one but isn’t verified then they will refuse to run. You would get better performance from using a computer connected to the HDMI port, or even a Raspberry Pi as your TV Box.

Yes. What brand or model number do you have?
- Comment on A guy just got arrested in Houston US for allegedly being an ISIS member. I grew up in Reagan and 911 era are these people just saying this or are they actively buying bombs? 6 days ago:
From a randon article:
Williams said that while in custody, Said admitted to researching how to conduct an attack on local military recruiting centers, offering his home as sanctuary for ISIS operatives, bragging that he would commit a “9/11-style” attack if he had the resources and attempting to produce ISIS propaganda.
“We stopped a potential terrorist attack from happening right here in Houston! Any day we can publicly say that is a good day,” FBI Houston said.
Said is being held in custody but appeared in court for a preliminary hearing on Tuesday, his attorney, Balemar Zuniga, told Fox News Digital.
“The indictment only alleges that he supported a terrorist group through the production of videos and propaganda,” he said, noting that federal prosecutors mentioned the plotting of terror acts but have not charged him with such. “None of that is alleged.”
So no, he is being charged with conspiracy to commit a crime with a recorded confession, but it is possible the confession was coerced (but unlikely because he was actually producing content online on ISIS’s behalf.

So you think all news should push a political agenda above all else, even when that means excluding important information from the original sources and actively interfereing with the publication of news about past and ongoing events?

There is also a Mycotoxin ATP Inhibitor called Tri-Nitro-Propionic Aci, which causes complete organ failure after a couple of days of being unconsious. It generally only gets produced by certain fungal strains such as tropical Arthrinium, but can also be a very small percentage biproduct in some biofuel production methoda which utilize propionibacteria to conver grains and grasses similarly to how yeast creates alcohol.

I’ve been thinking about getting into it but TBH I’ve got no idea what base ingredient I should use for a 5 gallon fermentation process. At first I was considering produce from the store with water and then chaptalization to increase sugar content, but that just seems like it might produce a pretty low quality, but getting together 5 gallons of fresh juice also doesn’t seem economic in my region.
