I have a few of my favorite sitcoms on constant repeat. New Girl and That 70s Show are the ones I’m watching at the moment.
As for non-sitcom series, I finally started Killing Eve a few weeks ago after hearing so many good things about it. Kinda sad I only have 5 episodes left. It’s been a really fun ride.
I’m also 3 episodes in on Shogun and may go ahead a binge the rest this weekend.
Hello brother. 🙏 May I talk to you for a minute about our lord and savior Brother Laser Jet Printer.
That’s one of the reasons I’m hoarding now.
From this link:
“A factory reset returns the TV to its original, out-of-the-box state. Performing a factory reset will remove all stored personal data relating to your settings, network connections, Roku data, and menu preferences.”
This is more for people like me who already have one and still need to use it as a monitor, but want to make sure that Roku never collects another bit of data from us.
It depends. Using OPs scenario, if all data, ads and updates, are served from data.samsung.com, then the pi hole can’t help. But if ads are served from ads.samsung.com and updates from updates.samsung.com, then you can blacklist the ads while still receiving the updates.
My experience with a Vizio is that the pi is blocking a lot of the “phoning home” connections, but the ads seem to be integrated with the software that allows me to use apps, so I still see them when I use the TV’s apps. More and more though, I’m using the HDMI port with my HTPC.
I stopped watching local news when they started having the anchors pitch to ads like they were just another news item.
It’s basically a nicer way of saying “shit the bed.” I picked it up from the Tony Kornheiser podcast. It’s a running bit there.
I think what happened to Yelchin is a separate issue. The joystick was still a physical object that gave tactile feedback. The design was fine, but GM flushed the mouse on the implementation.
Where we have a bigger problem is when common vehicle controls are just an image on a screen, and a driver has to take their eyes off the road to do something simple like change the A/C temperature or skip a song track.
There would be a class action lawsuit where lawyers take two thirds of the settlement and those affected would get enough for a fancy Starbucks coffee.
Since I don’t know your level of expertise, I’ll go step by step. Forgive me if you already know how to do some of this.
In terminal, type “sudo nano /etc/fstab” (without quotes). This brings up a file where you can add the mount point so it mounts at boot and set options for the mount. Go to the end of the file and enter a line like the following, substituting your info in the appropriate places:
//[static ip for nas]/[top level folder on nas you want to mount] /[mount point in Linux] [file system type for mount] [mount options, nas login credentials, permissions] 0 0
Mine looks like this: //192.168.1.0/Media /mnt/Media cifs _netdev,user=anonymouse,password=*****,uid=1000,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0
The “_netdev” option is the one that delays the mount until after your network is up. The “file_mode” & “dir_mode” set the mount permissions. There is info out there showing how to insert a reference to a credentials file instead of placing them in fstab in plain text, but I didn’t bother since I have my computer and user profile pretty well locked down.
To get _netdev to work, I had to enter the following in terminal (without quotes): “sudo systemctl enable systemd-networkd-wait-online”.
I couldn’t find all the sites I visited while setting this up, but here are a few:
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/429604/fstab-not-automatically-mounting-smb-storage?rq=1
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab#Options
Hope this helps!
I’ll look up the exact info when I get home and provide links if I can find them again.
The summary is that I had to add a line to /etc/fstab with the ip and folder route of the nas drive and folder, then the mount point in linux, the file system type for the mount, options that give login creds/group id + establish permissions I want to apply to the mount, and an option that keeps the drive from trying to mount until my network is connected.
Finally, for that last option to work, I had to enable a process that I forget the name of. I think it was in systemd, but I was able to initiate it from the command line.
It’s called coal ash, and we’re still paying Duke Energy to not clean up their own mess.
I scroll through all/hot a couple times a week and I don’t find the content nearly as funny, interesting or engaging as it used to be. There’s definitely something different about the algorithm that is making the content more sanitized for a wider audience.
Summary judgment seems unlikely given the vagueness of the email. But maybe it gives Taylor more incentive to offer a decent settlement to Kytch. If it goes to trial, will be interesting to see how it plays out.
I think the assumption in Pasta4u’s scenario is that home charging overnight is not an option.
I always forget about Men too. Not Garland’s finest work.
