Does LG have a customer feedback page or anything similar?

Assume there is similar for other countries, though I can't see this being of any use whatsoever.

My new rule for modern TVs is don't have a TV at all. The social role of having a TV is rapidly dwindling. First off, the number of movies and TV shows that merit even being watched is dwindling. Secondly, even if you find something worth watching, the odds that anybody else will want to watch it is small; everybody has been atomized by recommendation algorithms, everybody gets shown a different set of ads and media, there's no longer and shared culture when it comes to media. It used to be that everybody went home and watched NBC or one of the two other channels, all saw the same ads for the same movies and shows, so if you mentioned one the next day everybody knew what you were talking about. This is no longer true, if you try to bring up some Netflix show you heard of last night, probaby nobody else has heard of it. Now let's say you actually talk somebody into watching something with you despite that... What are the odds that both they and you get through the show or movie without reaching for their phone? Almost zero, in my experience.
It's done. The cultural significance of TV is toast. Our culture is too atomized, too personalized for shared experiences. Large TVs, centerpiece of the living room, are becoming an anachronism that date people as being from a previous era when television was still a shared cultural experience.
I just want a massive screen to watch my content on - everything else you mention is irrelevant.
While not DIY, I would like to also call out an interesting discovery lately.

UGREEN has apparently inked deals to drop their DXP2800s into (some) Walmarts, which also included bringing in some 10/12TB Toshiba N300 Pro drives as well to go with them on the shelves. Being a super-rural American, I was a bit surprised to see this on my local shelf as a nearly turnkey solution in an area where there's nothing remotely close to a Best Buy, even.
Even more surprisingly: they've been sold by Walmart below minimum advertised prices at UGREEN a few times normally...
I had one of the DXP4800 Plus NASes for about a month before RMAing it.
The CPU would immediately hit 100C with even the slightest whiff of load.
The entire thing was also unstable and would regularly just lock up without any kernel panic or other error message available, could even get kdump to gather anything (I'd binned their dodgy NAS OS and installed Debian).
It also seemed to amplify the noise of the hard drives within. Every thunk of a drive head moving around would be audible from a different room. Not sure how they managed to do that, but it's an acoustic nightmare.
The difference between the two is whether ChatGPT believes it's being accurate when it's saying those things, and we can't know what it believes, (or whether it can believe things at all).
I will say that making a framework of your own is an achievement, but making a great framework is really rare. I don't know what your framework is like, so I can't say.

Surely it isn't that simple. Even a person who thoroughly condemns Trump's hijacking of media systems and attentions must acknowledge that if international politics are at all relevant for you, some actions of the US president should be seen by you, if only in exceptional circumstances.
The problem is the continual stream of bullshit emitted from Trump's mouth gets clicks, and as such even little things that don't have any bearing on an international audience are reported heavily.
When Biden was president I barely heard anything about US politics, but with Trump in power it's hard to avoid.

I don't know what sort of MKUltra-esque psyop is going on with the font rendering on this website, but it is exceptionally trippy[1].
I have been having this exact same issue across multiple websites recently, most of the time it's monospace fonts that have the issue - Github is a nightmare. It only started after I upgraded to Fedora 42.
Haven't got to the bottom of it yet. I set Victor Mono as my Monospace font in Chrome and that has fixed it for things like the HN comment box, for instance, but Github and such still all look weird.

Lmao I came here to post this. My personal server was making constant hdd grinding noises before I banned the entire nation of China. I only use this server for jellyfin and datahoarding so this was all just logs constantly rolling over from failed ssh auth attempts (PSA: always use public-key, don't allow root, and don't use really obvious usernames like "webadmin" or <literally just the domain>).
Changing the SSH port also helps cut down the noise, as part of a layered strategy.

As the kids would say, Gitlab CI is the GOAT.
Xiol32 commented on VPN use surges in UK as new online safety rules kick in ft.com/content/356674b0-9... · Posted by u/mmarian
Since it's about VPNs - what are good VPNs for someone looking for safety/privacy but not anonymity or even IP hiding?
Not even for streaming. But for general "safety while on the Internet" when the devices (Mac, iPhone) are mostly on public or not-so-secure WiFi (at the residence or on the go). Plan is to keep it always ON or almost always ON.
Not necessarily for the UK.
(Other than Mullvad)
Can I ask - why not Mullvad?
"Gemini is an application-layer internet communication protocol for accessing remote documents, similar to HTTP and Gopher."
The protocol has no native embeds (not even images) so all you get is text, or media if you click links to the file directly (also no js, fingerprintin or ads). It's great if you look for a plain internet.
