> So for example, i have a conversation in Proactive Messaging asking claude to follow the lowest price of something and let me now if it goes below a certain value. Then a few weeks down the line, i get a popup from claude about this if it happens. There should also be a menu in this case with what tasks like this have been defined.

I've been looking for a new cooker. I have a Hermes agent running on VM that does this. I told it to keep an eye on prices. It created a cron job that triggers the scrapes and messages me if anything interesting happened since the last time it checked.

So, not representative of "human preference" at all, probably.

They don't. They use WINE, which as the name says, Is Not an Emulator. :D

(I'll let my pedantic self out now)

Yeah this could open up a whole new category of lightweight gaming PCs.

Why do they even keep those?

In my case, it was uBO on Firefox. I don't use Chrom(e|ium) so I couldn't tell.

You can't have implicit opt-out either. Opting is an explicit act.

I almost fell for one. Actually I did, but uBO blocked it.

I searched for "Homebrew install". Clicked the first link. It looked exactly the same as the legit brew.sh. I was tired and didn't even think twice. Google wouldn't have put the scam clone website ahead of the real one, right?

When I clicked to copy the install command (which read exactly correct), I got the uBO message saying it blocked a ClickFix attack. Users who do that without protection would have the wrong URL on their clipboard, and likely install malware thinking they were getting upstream Homebrew.

DeepSeek. Every now and again I get a notification that I'm running out of credits. That means I've got less than US$5. I usually wait another week or 2 and top up another 10.

In any case, "We don't record continuously" is still recording. They should not be recording at all!

Another happy DS41 user here. When I talk to friends with Claude subscriptions, they're not doing anything more complicated or better than I am, but are paying through their noses.

:D Thanks!

OP probably enjoyed the project and likes how it looks. Why does there have to be an "appeal" other than that?

What makes it incompatible with Pi, Zed or any other harness?

Or zswap instead of zram.

No idea unfortunately. I had good success at blocking ads just via DNS (Pi-Hole or equivalent), but I have no idea if it does anything for the spyware.

Which part of that qualifies as trivial?

But if my TV is doing this, then by definition it's not acting as an exit node so how do I test it?

How would you test this?

You can root most LG TVs but I'm not sure an alternative firmware exists or if it's even feasible.

> Your broken waking machine drawer is an orthogonal problem

Perhaps, but LG has proven problematic to deal with.

To give you an idea, I tried directly with them at first. They gave me an official website to search for the part. It wasn't available. They then game me 2 or 3 third-parties to search. None of them had the part available. I emailed and called. They would at best say "not available".

Eventually I got LG to escalate to a manager, who called me back the next day. The manager was very nice. Told me to go to that official website again. I couldn't find the part. She then instructed me how to navigate to a form on that same website where I could send a message requesting the part. Remember, this is an official LG website.

I sent the form. The next day I got a reply from a third party, telling me they didn't have the part and I should contact the manufacturer directly. Now this is with dirty laundry already accumulating and us risking running out of pants. There's no laundromat near me and I don't have a car, nor I have the time for this crap.

Eventually I found what _could_ be the right part. Only there was no way to be sure it was, and it had a 3-week wait and would cost about 100 quid.

At that point I sat down and calculated how much I paid for the machine, its expected lifetime, deducted the time I had it for to get an estimate "remaining value", and it was less than the time I was wasting with this ordeal, plus everything else if I had to arrange alternative washes for the time being and the price of the replacement part (assuming it was the right one), so it made sense to just buy a new machine and send that one for recycling, so I did that.

> May i suggest basic home repair?

Sure you can, but I don't have that machine any longer, would probably not get it to a good state, and would waste even more of my time.

It wasn't a simple plastic crack. The drawer was comprised of 3 bins (on the same part), 2 of them covered by rubbery lids. The rubber needs to seal the bin below, otherwise detergent and softener leak and make a mess (which was happening at this point). One of the bin walls somehow got completely deformed. The rubbery lid wouldn't seal, and to make it worse, it eventually split at the seal because of the pressure from the bin wall. It would have been a nightmare to repair to an acceptable state.

Also note that the bin lid is something that needs to be opened and closed frequently for top-ups and cleaning. No home repair would survive for long.

Do you mean US national security?

Same but they're so much worse than cookie banners...

No, but nothing comes close to their breadth and scale.

So, why is it a bad idea?

I have an LG OLED as well. When I bought it, it was the previous year's flagship. I am also mad at this.

I also had an LG washing machine. The dispenser plastic drawer broke after a year of use. After over a week of multiple emails and calls with the shop, LG themselves and third-party spares shops trying to get a replacement, I bought a Bosch.

I am also never buying anything from LG again.

I have a projector. Top of the line. Amazing image, bright as day, vivid colours, auto-keystone, the works.

It runs Google TV. I trust it about as much as I do my LG OLED.

My iPhone 15 Pro frequently overheats. Not to the point of halting the phone completely, but certainly to the point of it being throttled so badly that it's nearly unusable.

Now that's a positive spin on this doom story!
