I have no doubt people will be able to hack it. What I’m saying is there is no way it could be hacked without the company finding out and forcing you to return it or pay up. When you sign up you have to give them your personal information and credit card. If you disconnect it from the Internet, filter its Internet traffic, or modify it in any way they will tell you to return it and if you don’t return it they will charge the credit card.

From their terms of service:

In order to use the Product and Services, You will:

(a) Use the Product as the primary television in Your household;

(b) Keep the Product connected to WiFi and internet; and

© Not use any software on Your WiFi network that with advertising blocking capability.

(d) Not make physical modifications to the Product or attach peripheral devices to the Product not expressly approved by Telly. Any attempt to open the Product’s enclosure will be deemed an unauthorized modification.

If we discover that You are not abiding by the requirements above or have disconnected the Product from an internet connection or WiFi for more than short periods each month, You will no longer be able to use the Service and You must return any Products in your possession to Telly. Failure to return Products to Telly will result in Telly charging the credit card on file.

No, the maker has stated they have measures in place to detect any tampering, and that if you tamper with the device, fail to connect it to the Internet, or do not use it frequently they will make you return it or pay for it.

They have said that they can’t stop people from doing that, but that the settings menus, such as the input switcher, will be on the bottom screen.

The settings menus (input switcher, etc) will be on it. Also it will collect data on anything you view using the main screen (HDMI input, etc) regardless.

They have stated they have measures in place to detect anyone trying to do that and will require them to return the TV or pay for it.

Makes sense, my town only has 3 sets of escalators that I know of so I don’t see many.

I love walking and I do it every day, but I don’t want to have to do it.

I’ve never noticed this.

Zero regrets. So far the content has been better and people have been nicer, the experience on Lemmy app I use is very similar to the 3rd party Reddit app I was using, and the official Reddit app is so much worse than both of them that I am not at all tempted to use it.

Connect for Lemmy on Android. It looks nice and has clickable usernames/community names in feeds, a good community search function, keyword-based post blocking, and community/user/instance blocking.

“In addition, we have received this image submission earlier today from an anonymous member of our community, who also offered the c/reddit moderation team, and I quote, “one Barbie-llion dollars”, to set it as the community banner. We’re not sure what to make of this”

Anything you post here can/will remain forever on some malicious instance that doesn’t honor deletion requests.

That is true of literally any social media; Twitter, Reddit, Instagram, Facebook, there is nothing preventing someone from screenshotting a post, or a web crawler from archiving it, and then keeping that information after it is deleted from the original source.

It’s called social media, the entire purpose of its existence is for other people to see what you post. This is true for Reddit, Twitter, literally any social media site. I’m not saying, well other social media is just as bad, I’m saying, this is inherently how social media works. If you’re expecting anything you post on any social media to remain private or be completely erased from existence when you delete it, you’re either stupid or hopelessly uniformed.

There are some sites where you can allow only people you’ve friended/followed can see your posts, but that is not the default setting and doesn’t prevent someone you’ve shared your content with from saving and distributing it.

Most social media sites ask at the very least for your phone number and birthday when signing up; Lemmy doesn’t, they don’t have any personal information other than an email address and only if you choose to add that for account recovery.

If this article is news to you, then so might this headline: Warning: when you drive your car from one place to another on public roads you can be seen by other people. Car users should consider this carefully before driving.

Per Newsweek

“In the week ending June 3, Bud Light’s sales revenue—the brand’s dollar income—was down 24.4 percent compared to the same week a year ago.”

"The company’s global CEO, Michel Doukeris, said on May 4 that the declining Bud Light sales represented about 1 percent of Anheuser-Busch’s global volume.
