Yeah, I’m not doing that.

Fox “news”.

There was an article going around that explained how to disable internet connections on various smart TVs. I wish I could find it.

For TVs with Roku built in, the solution was simply to select the option for no internet connection during initial setup. If you’ve already set up your TV, you go to settings and reset it like you’re getting ready to sell the device. That puts you back to initial setup where you can skip the network connection option.

What you can’t do on the Roku tv is tell it you have internet, but then try to use some sort of firewall or network connection to block it from phoning home. The front light on the tv will blink, and when you turn the tv on it will complain that it can’t connect. You have to choose no internet on initial setup if you want it to act like a “dumb” tv.

NetNewsWire works great for me.

There is a parallel between the failure of school vouchers for private schools in rural areas, and private hospitals that flee rural areas. Dems really need to start pointing out these similarities for rural voters. For profit public services = expensive and unavailable.

There’s no such thing as “anonymous” texts — just texts the government can’t be bothered to trace back to their origin.

Right. Everyone knows it’s a series of tubes! You’d think his fellow republicans would have explained this to him.

Where do you think the Internet came from? It was a government project that began as Arpanet. And we would never have had it opened to the public if it wasn’t for Al Gore.

Hmmm. What if he’s not scared. What if it’s some other reason?

“Because we did not find any evidence of Trump personally donating $25 million to Hurricane Helene, we found this claim to be unfounded. Other outlets, including LeadStories and MSN, rated this claim false.”
