Yes. I’m not just speaking to them. There are a lot of people who could benefit who have no such qualms.

No! Don’t do this! It creates a parabola that focuses the beams in the center of your brain. The fix is to put a faraday cage around your wifi of course!

You can just never connect it to the Internet in the first place and only use the HDMI ports. Using a linux media pc running Kodi or whatever. But most people don’t know or care to do this.

Also the larger state actors have been hijacking televisions as well. However the attack still required an initial network logon.

I think we can both agree that these are both anti consumer practices.

Not when Netflix is throttling 4K bitrate. Shitty site but there’s a good writeup here. I’d suggest ublock origin or Firefox reader mode.

No, linux and Firefox are both capable of running 4k resolution.

If you want to use the gaming analogy this is like buying a triple star game but not being able to play it due to buggy performance from kernel level anti-cheat.

You cannot place the onus on the consumer with this.

You can see here that Netflix is throttling the bitrate even on compliant hardware.

If you have enough RAM 16Gb+. I would only use it for boot disks. Also you can boot from a raidz as well if you have the extra drives.

Either way good luck to you. I hope your server is up soon.

Ach! Did you have btrfs? Sometimes you can load the OS read only if it’s an ssd and shunt the OS to a ramdisk. I only boot to RAM now. I have a backup iPXE server in a container as well to emergency boot over the network.

Zfs and redundancy are your friends. I’ve not been stopped by a dead drive in over a decade

Say you want a ham sandwich. I’m going to sell you a ham sandwich. However the sandwich you get is missing the titular ham of said sandwich. There is still good bread and mayo and cheese. But did you buy a cheese sandwich? Would you complain?

This is the crux of OPs post. They’re not getting what they pay for.

Reread my response to you. It’s not a stream, it’s locally held as tokens and then streamed over wifi while charging. I don’t see any sources posted by you. I think we’re wasting each other’s time.

Ok here’s from the google dev blog

Here’s how a model can store a localized profile from adsense and learn on it

Here’s how google tensor chips are literally built for that workflow to the detriment of other performance.

https://www.androidauthority.com/google-tensor-g4-explained-everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-pixel-9-processor-3466184/

Google has an adsemse profile on you the user, that profile is added to by metadata from apps and sensors on the phone; then offloaded to google cloud servers when the phone is charging. No input from the user required.

Here’s a GrapheneOS security feature to prevent persistence and breaks the above workflow.

I have an honest question. How much android kernel development or tensor chip work have you done?

Gemini is on every pixel 7-9

Yes this is how algorithms work
