I remember being about ten or eleven years old and reading fat wallet or slick deals when those people got hold of a pricing error and then invoking notions of "I'll get a class action lawyer!" once dell denied their orders for 200 monitors a whole lot of severe pedantic dorks when I just wanted to build a computer on fixing AOL installer wages

And that's how I got a Pentium4 Northwood processor for .99c in like august 2002 .

Given it's increasingly hard to buy appliances that aren't connect to the internet what's the sec thread approved way of stopping your house being used to take part in ddosing xbox live because some russian teenager got knifed on cod? Other then burning your internet of poo poo filled house with yourself locked inside. Put everything on a separate wifi network with each device only having whitelisted connections to their update server sort of thing?

You could not connect them to the internet like you do now with your current fridge/freezer/tumbler

And enjoy your house fire when the fridge decides it's time to set its temperature to 2 billion degrees because it couldn't resolve dumbfridge.samsung.co.kr. No, the way of going about this is to buy dumb appliances. They're probably still cheaper at this point, even.

They were about to return it to the store, and I just took out the wifi creds and it started booting fast again. I'm shopping for new TVs now and I'm just afraid I'd get one that flat out refuses to work without an active connection.

Segmentation Fault posted:I've read about ones that require an Internet connection to complete setup before you're allowed to actually watch anything on it yeah, those scare me less because there's a much small window for problems with it and it can reasonably be done within the 3 days legal warranty to return anything to the store. As long as I can take the credentials out and bring the tv offline without killing the thing I'm fine.

i was explaining what a ransomware was to a coworker who didn't know anything about it and why TV's can now get them and he was like "but if the TV isn't smart how will I watch netflix on it??" "you know they sell like $30 boxes that do that that you can hook up to the TV, and then even if that thing gets rekt you're only out $30 instead of an entire TV" "ohhhhhhh that makes much more sense!" thanks guy
