Oh, yeah, the hatred of smart TVs is totally overblown.

The patent centers around the idea of displaying ads on these TVs whenever they’re tuned to an HDMI input that’s paused or idle. Theoretically, this would allow Roku to present ads throughout your whole TV experience — and in places where it’s not viable to do so today. Your PS5, Xbox, Apple TV, or Blu-ray player could become yet another canvas for the company to continue growing its already-lucrative advertising business.

Go figure.

What a lovely company.

Sure fuckin do, I had a new Fitbit lose an LED making the display too dim to read under a year after I bought it and when I tried to get it replaced right after Google took over they offered me a 20 percent discount on a new one so i threw it in the trash.

Isn't it still somewhat common practice to pour oil over dirt roads to keep dust down?
I recall some Oklahoma hick contractor for this type of work getting in trouble for using PCB-laden oil.
Probably in the last 10-15 years. Maybe I'm making poo poo up, idk

I'm sure it happened more than once, but speaking of superfund sites....Times Beach outside of St. Louis was a poster child for this poo poo. A contractor got paid to dispose of all of the dioxin from the nearby loving Agent Orange factory, and also to tamp down dust on the roads in Times Beach, so hey two birds one stone:

https://www.epa.gov/mo/town-flood-and-superfund-looking-back-times-beach-disaster-nearly-40-years-later

quote:

Nearly 40 years ago, an individual was paid to spray material on the roads to suppress the dust in this small Midwest town. What the town didn’t know was that he was spraying those roads with a mixture of the highly toxic chemical compound, dioxin, and waste oil. When the town was inundated by a terrible flood in December 1982, that toxic mix spread beyond the roads and covered the town.

It was so hosed the federal government bought the entire town, started shoveling all of the topsoil into incinerators, and buried everything else in the town in a giant landfill. I remember driving by the soil incinerators as a kid on the way to Six Flags. It was wild.

When I was a kid my cousins and I would go deep into the woods behind my grandparents' farm, where there were all kinds of tree-tunnel tractor trails down to large fields tucked into the woods and forest paths and streams to run along and explore, real Bridge to Terabithia poo poo. One day, we discovered the massive sinkhole where all of the surrounding farmers dumped old refrigerators, washing machines, cars, fuckin...whatever. It was clear some of them had been there more than 50 years. It's an image that always stuck with me.

Also Paramount app is still laggy and horrible just like it was on the Firestick, so at least that much is consistent.

I will excuse a lot, but the Paramount app is simply awful no matter what's running it. It's really impressive.
