Every major tech company has a stake in chromium. Google could die tomorrow, and someone would bankroll it for their own selfish use.

You thing Microsoft, Apple, or Amazon wouldn’t jump at basically owning the development of the worlds most popular web browser?

Get a CRT, or buy a new TV and just don’t connect it to the internet.

The difference between a disconnected smart TV and a dumb one is basically zilch.

If you’re getting anything which has a native res higher than 480p, I’d recommend looking into up-scalers like the ossc or some of the offerings from Retrotink. Even modern TV’s have shit up-scalers.

Also make sure you’re using Scart/RGB or Component where possible. Composite, or even worse RF, looks like cookie in most places.

Even if you have to settle for S-Video through a koryuu, it will look better than composite for something like the N64 where RGB or component are unavailable for un-modded consoles.

Mission failed successfully: I’m bringing my enby instead and you can’t stop me.

Jokes on her, I’ve transitioned since last Christmas.

The problem with having both is that the electronic one is always the primary one, and the one people will use daily.

Yeah that’s the design flaw. Thats literally what im saying they shouldn’t do. You can make a mechanical-first door with an internal solenoid thats capable of popping the door.

The main and only handles on all the doors should be mechanical only, with door popper buttons for all four doors on the driver-side arm rest (where window controls go)

What purpose do electric door handles serve? Other than being more prone to failure, more expensive, and dangerous?

Electric door poppers ARE NOT the same thing as electric door handles, pick a thing to complain about.

POPPERS (IE:solenoids) allow the driver to open doors for passengers, while also ensuring the main way in and out is NOT dependent on electronics (when properly implemented).

Unnecessary luxury? Sure, but so are cars in a lot of the world. Solenoids are cheap, and the idea is not inherently a danger when done right.

Your issue isn’t electronically controlled door poppers. Its cars being made by silicon valley, y-combinator sucking, tech-bro douchebags who thought replacing the mechanical handle with a button was a good idea.

I think having an electric popper on top of an mechanical door latch (actual door handles are standard mechanic, but there’s solenoid that can actuate them independently) is okay if you can find an actual usecase.

I mean sure still stupid but at least it isn’t dangerous.

Same way electric locks have worked for the past 30 years on cars.

An old civic might be able to unlock from a key fob, but that’s only an electronically controlled solenoid controlling a lock which is mechanical in nature, and who’s main user-accessible interaction point is mechanically linked to the lock.

There where just as many cheesy UI’s done without flash back in the day. Its because web development became more of a commodity as more people got into it. Everything’s been done and the cheapest thing to do is to slap together something using the framework of the month.

These days, with the help of some LLM generating substandard, unchecked code.

All of that is possible with modern JS and WebGL

Really I think a lot of this stems from a toolset designed for programmers, and not one designed for artists.

Interactive Vector Animations as a web standard are technically possible, but it’d be best implemented as animation software that compiles a file/archive that’s usable by a standard browser based client that renders things locally using a canvas element.

In-fact its so possible flash has been re-impmenented this way using an action script interpreter compiled to web assembly.

They didn’t give you the entire kit because that wasn’t the W3C’s job, it was to give you the tools necessary to build the kit.

They call him: “Stinky Mike”

Imagine next time you go to the doctors, they hand you a screw-top specimen container and gesture towards the bathroom for you to fart into the container so they can send it off to the lab for analysis.

Eh, my early 9th gen civic is nice, though I think they ruined it only like coupla years later with cell radios.

Yeah as someone who owns guns this really fucking re-affirms the fact that I never want to use them, even if I really fucking hate the person and they’re actively trying to kill me.

Wish I could unclick that link. But in a fucked up way I think if you own guns you should probably have to know what they do, and I don’t think words convey it well.

Honestly could a just stuck Debian at the end XP

Do you not clean your own eating and shitting surfaces regularly?

Likewise, if you set an iPhone to use Advanced Data Protection.

You can pretend your iPhone isn’t owned by a corporation that just swore fealty to the current regime, but until its running a custom ROM it isn’t fucking yours.

Only phone that comes your own from factory I’d maybe the pinephone. Otherwise, get a pixel, rip out the factory OS install, and throw Graphen OS on it.

Both Android AND iOS have taken code from Graphene and used it to secure their codebases. Its probably one of, if not the most secure OS available to the average person today.

Its always going to be relevant, even if only emulated, simply because of how many code bases are stuck on x86/x86-64.

Open sourcing it and all of its extensions solves the licensing problems of not only itself, but Arm, while providing a battle tested architecture with decades of maturity.

Also imagine the fun FPGA consoles could have with that?

Imagine if x86-64 got blown open because of it? Might literally be the best thing to happen to computing in like 40 years.

Really fuckin’ doubt it’ll happen, but a girl can dream XP

Actually the bastard won’t tell you what specific tire. Just that one of them has low air pressure.

Kind of a dick move since there’s no way the computer can’t tell which tire it is when they’re four separate sensors.

My Honda civic 2012’s head unit firmware isn’t that bad.

It tells your input source, volume, if your trunk is open, if your tires are fucked, and includes a hookup for a backup camera that only made it into other models, making it ezpz to retrofit.

Could be a lot worse. Wouldn’t touch a modern one with a ten foot pole lmao.
