How many of yall remember having to “adjust tracking” when the picture had too much “snow”?

Oh ok. No but I do follow you as I am sure there are plenty of calls being intercepted by our govt agencies. I guess I am trying to wrap my head around who would use AI voice technology for that purpose? Enemies within the country of the foreign leaders that hack into their specific phone lines?

What is considered a “known compromised line”?

Yeah that’s something another commenter mentioned. Thanks for the math. I think it’s time to say goodbye to this old thing…

Maybe I’ll try this on my big fridge next. It’s getting close to 20 years old itself but functions fine.

Yeah that’s kinda what I am doing. If I’m using this energy monitor thing right, the fridge is on Day 9 and has used 20.32 kWhs

Thanks for the info. Will def check this out!

There was a great take on one of these called “Everybody Hates Raymond”

It was the show Everybody Loves Ramon but the laugh track was completely replaced with boos and was frickin hilarious. I think it got removed from YouTube though cuz I haven’t been able to find it for years.

Yeah I was expecting this to be a thought piece in general about companies requiring them be back in office.

I’m gonna say this out loud next time I’m taking a shower.

I dispise vacuuming and sweeping and I have 2 canines, so there’s a lot of fur and grime on the floor that needs regular tending to. I bought the roomba model that is self charging and self emptying, so you can just let it run in a set it and forget it fashion.

Alternatively, it also actually helps motivate me to do other chores as well. I have to pick up everything off the floor before running the vac, and at that point I just start tidying up other things while letting it run.

Kinda thought you were talking about Hulk Hogan which would also be terrifying in its own right.

I’m not super happy about it, but my roomba is absolutely essential now that I’ve been spoiled with it. I don’t like the idea of any of my appliances being online straight tied to a vendor’s app and service - but I’m willing to accept the trade off in this instance. Maybe someday I’ll upgrade to a different robot vac. I know there are FOSS setups to work around some of those challenges and circumvent some of the BS.

Yeah not sure I even care enough to take advantage.

Just got this bullshit offer from Ticketmaster for one of their breaches and they are only offering 1 year free credit monitoring.

I still look at it to gawk at the insanity on r/conspiracy or what the fear mongering knuckleheads on r/conservative are talking about. You can’t get the on Lemmy.

I never post or upvote on Reddit though. Simply lurk. I enjoy posting here because just seems way more chill.

👆🏽this person knows

Haven’t seen it but that’s a BOLD statement. I would like someone else’s opinion who has seen both.

He’s still using XP?? I’m guessing his computer isn’t online then?

Dial tone still exists. Pretty much every business phone that’s most likely a VoIP line still generates dial tone to the user’s headset.
