Do the fans come on during charging if you’re not using it?

They obviously don’t or they wouldn’t exist.

Got it, so in your case, if it applies to your argument, it’s possible and works “every time ever”, and if it goes against your argument, it doesn’t exist and no one is boycotting.

You are not arguing in good faith, and only want to be right in this instance.

I’m sure you’ve never bought a display, GPU, or computer with HDMI, and I’m sure you’ve advocated for your friends and family to stop buying anything with HDMI certification. Right?

How does a subscription compare to TV purchases? How does that one instance of politically driven consumer action equate to “every time ever”? Have you heard of Nestlé? People have boycott them forever and they still exist. Why?

…extremely well? Can you provide an example of the contrary?

Can you provide evidence of it working extremely well?

Private space works slightly differently especially when it comes to folder organization. Because of that I actually still prefer Shelter, personally.

Yeah, I guess I knew what they were, but it seems like it would be rough to use on an Android TV in the browser compared to purpose built TV applications.

I downloaded TizenTube Cobalt as a replacement until the dust settles. Obviously similar attacks can happen with TizenTube, but if you want something that is clean right now, that’s the way to go.

Mostly “AI” bullshit

Do either of those work on Android TV?

Hm, I’ve thought about using an HTPC for this myself, but haven’t gotten around to trying it. I’d prefer to be able to use my remote still…

Curious, what did you do for an alternative?

Slightly more detail in this GitHub issue, however much is still unknown, even after three or so days. The dev hasn’t revealed any further details. Some articles on this incident:

• https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/smarttube-youtube-app-for-android-tv-breached-to-push-malicious-update/
• https://www.aftvnews.com/smarttubes-official-apk-was-compromised-with-malware-what-you-should-do-if-you-use-it/

Note that the articles provide little detail on what’s happened, mostly just detail that a malicious library was found and Play Protect started removing the app if affected. It’s unclear which versions are specifically affected, how the dev got breached, and what the malware actually does. According to a user (who may or may not be using some sort of LLM, their comment sounds like one at least) in a separate, related issue, the malware may collect device info and send to a command & control server. It could (in theory) receive new instructions at any point if it’s a C2 server. Again, it does appear that they had an LLM of some sort generate their comment, so take it with a grain of salt.

I’m going to uninstall the app and revoke access on my Google account page. I see little reason to need to reset my password as of right now, since the app uses an API key and not my actual password. In my opinion, it’s possibly related to YT viewbotting and commenting, or to add your device to a botnet. It’s unclear to me how this botnet would work in practice, since even Android TV sandboxes apps (for the most part)

I’m not concerned about the app id changing after a signature leak, in fact, it’s what I’d expect. I am concerned about if the new signature is from the actual dev or not, and the dev hasn’t really said much other than they’ll release a disclosure once their new build is pushed to fdroid. It’s been pushed as far as I can tell, and it’s still been silence from them. I’d recommend not installing either app until this gets sorted out, and revoking the app’s access to your account.

I have used Bazzite for some time for both gaming and development tasks. Distrobox is what I use to do development, and rpm-ostree if I don’t care about layering on to the system image. Really, immutable distros just function differently than non-immutable, so if you try to use them like you might be used to, then you might have a difficult time.

Bazzite’s real strength is with completely new users in regard to Linux who haven’t already built up non-immutable habits imo (although I’ve used Linux for over a decade and was able to adapt to immutable and actually prefer it). It pre-packages everything someone moving from gaming on Windows might need while making it more difficult to break. That’s why Wendell recommended GN use it over Cachyos, since it’s more approachable and accessible to those moving from Windows.

Those both work fine in Wayland.

In my state (WA), it is required. Some sketchy scrapyards probably don’t give a shit though. Also, I’m pretty sure that, at least in my county (but it may be state-wide) any amount of copper requires a photo ID and entry into a database.

I totally agree with these restrictions, but wanted to add those details.

I currently donate to Frigate, but I definitely should donate more. Especially to KDE…

There’s quite a lot of issues, but the main issue is with the thrusters not firing properly, which could cause astronauts to get stranded in space. It could also prevent getting the heat shield in the proper position for re-entry, both are dangerous, obviously.

Sure, they can be a part of the supply solution. But these capsules were originally designed for transport of astronauts, and the supply side has much more competition.

Any Austin is great
