I’m honestly shocked that nobody has mentioned mesh networks. It might also just scan for any unsecured network it can connect to without informing you in any way. Not connecting your TV to your WiFi is not nearly enough to preventing it from phoning home. You need to open the TV and ground the antenna(e) to physically disable the wireless capabilities. Even then, there may be other antennae hidden under or inside components you can’t disassemble.

Short answer: No. Your smart TV is smarter than you are.

Have you heard of mesh networks?

My point is that I find it disgusting how society doesn’t seem to give a shit about homeless men but they do care about homeless women and children. Homeless women and children seem to be the main focus for most people seeing as there are so many more resources only available to homeless women and children than there are to homeless men despite the fact that the VAST majority are adult men. Society has a sickening lack of sympathy for homeless men, to the point where you can’t get some people to care about the homelessness crisis in the slightest until you inform them that some homeless people are women and children. This comic is a demonstration of that phenomenon. The comic essentially says “actually, you should care about homelessness because they aren’t all just men”

Read the rest of my comments on this website and you’ll see that pretty much everything I say makes someone angry at me. Maybe your pet will reconsider

Christ, you actually can’t find a way to communicate without patronizing. I literally do not care what you have to say about my character or personality or whatever, it’s got very little to do with the actual substance of my comment.

I meant your actual point. I’m skipping the dumb internet fight bits. The third sentence in your message. Who said anything about “taking advantage of the system” because I surely did not.

Don’t take this the wrong way, but I’m not sure what your point is. Can you rephrase and/or elaborate please?

Just what you to know that not everything is a personal attack directly at you.

Surely you can find a way to communicate this without being patronizing…

Just install linux and change your gtk/qt theme. It’s that easy.

Honestly this cartoon fucking sucks. Something like 80% of homeless people are adult men like the first panel. The three other panels essentially serve the message “Did you know some homeless people are women and children??? Do you care NOW?”

My soul is not beautiful

Boooo don’t make this sort of joke at strangers you nasty slime

The “In memory of country music 1922-1999” bit at the end actually made me kinda sad. I love actual country music :(

Idk if you guys know this but you can have a best friend without FUCKING THEM, YOU FILTHY FUCKING ANIMALS

Tough when you need a job.

Lol’d

well, my last girlfriend was jewish.

You got it boss

I stand firmly on the side of not stifling hateful use of “Jew” to avoid the risk of stifling regular use of it. They can’t make the correct descriptor of my identity into a derogatory word. I won’t let them.

Judaism and vampirism have a lot in common.

1. Existed since the dawn of time
2. Universally shunned
3. Forced to uphold their traditions in secret

When you factor in the blood libel, the connection goes even deeper.
