Just came here to say that this also affects any applications that use the libwebp library.

That includes many apps that most people don’t think of as “browsers”.

Electron based applications all use chromium under the hood, and are quite common/prolific these days.

Expect updates to a lot of things in the near future.

I have a TCL and it works just fine without internet.

Honestly, if I bought a TV, brought it home and it refused to function without internet I’d march that thing right back to the store for a refund.

Vote with your wallet.

Pretty sure the internet would collapse in a matter of hours.

I hope everyone reading this knows that you can just not connect a “Smart” TV to the internet. Leave it as a “dumb” TV.

Get a separate device like a Roku or AppleTV or Amazon Fire or whatever. The garbage hardware that TV manufacturers slap inside a TV so they can advertise its “smart” features will always be inferior to a purpose built external device.

To say nothing of the security implications of having an unpatched probably unsupported IoT device running on your network for years.

The Duran Duran Tribute album (1997)

Ever notice that this movie is basically the same story as The Three Amigos?

Ha! Came here to say this. Ya beat me to it.

Pretty much anything by Electric Six or Clutch. Honorable mentions to Soul Coughing and VNV Nation.

Karma chameleon, you come and go ⋅ Karma police, arrest this ho. ⋅ Karma’s a bitch, it gets a little jumpy when you come near.

– Electric Six, (It Gets a Little) Jumpy

Like Harry Truman dropping bombs out of the air ⋅ Like any self-respecting multi-billionaire ⋅ This is who you are, five dancing teenage boys ⋅ Who sing their way into our hearts ⋅ Backstreet’s back, alright

– Electric Six, Jimmy Carter

Next thing that I did was tap out Morse code ⋅ With a wooden nickel on the receiver of the phone ⋅ Before I could complete it, I was quickly overtaken ⋅ By the angry spirits of Ronald and Nancy Reagan

– Clutch, X-Ray Visions

But he also discusses why things froth and some of the science behind it. Might be helpful when selecting an alterna-milk?

I’m curious, what brand/model is the frother?

Just gonna leave this link here, since it’s comprehensive in a general way.

ah, damn. thanks for the info!

• A good ergonomic office chair.
• A sit/stand desk.
• Heavy duty wire shelves from Costco.

And because I drink coffee and I’m a total klutz…

• Contigo Auto-seal travel mug. These things are practically bomb-proof and prevent spills!
• a stainless steel double-walled french press. Also bomb-proof and retain heat really well.

Just a word of advice about any/all non-cast-iron pans… never take a hot pan and run it under water. It may create a very satisfying blacksmith blast of steam effect, but it almost invariably results in the bottom of the pan warping to be not-quite-flat.

Things I have done with my Pi(s) –

1. AirplayPi so I can airplay to my non-Apple speakers.
2. OctoPi so I can interact with my 3D printer via the local network.
3. Kodi media player
4. HomeAssistant hub
5. PiHole network-wide adblocker
6. I put Tailscale on an older Pi and plugged it in on my parents’ network, so I have remote access to help them with their router or whatever.
7. RetroPi - classic game emulator. Plays just about everything prior to PS2 generation stuff.

Hell yes. My Brother printer is just a solid workhorse.

TSA Pre-check.

Yes, it’s fucking obnoxious that it exists at all, given the “security theater” of it all, but man… being able to breeze past the super long lines at the airport is such a better experience.

Might I suggest a “single column” version as well, for the folks on mobile devices? 😁

To be honest I’m still skeptical of the Fediverse as a long term endeavor, but I’m going to give it a fair shake in the meantime.

That said, I was never much of a heavy user of twitter or reddit anyway, so watching the Fediverse explode while various corporate entities implode is just popcorn entertainment.

I found the web UI on mobile a bit clumsy for my big thumbs.

There’s a couple early beta apps for iOS:

oh! that’s a good idea… I guess I just figured it would be awkward to clutter up a single community with multiple languages? maybe that’s the whole point though. 🤷
