Is it possible to use an LG without ever connecting it to the internet in the first place?
tomkarho · 11 days ago
I am currently using one that is prevented from connecting to the internet via firewall rules from my router and all media comes from a separate jellyfin server. Had to allow enough of an internet access to install the app but once that was done, everything going outside lan is blocked.

Also most tvs have usb ports so maybe either raw media or some third part dongle can service as well?

Also also, most tvs of this caliber have hdmi you can plug your computer to.

I don't understand why there was such manufactured outrage over master branches, but not master recordings.

There was outrage to be had and those who revel in it pounced.

Believe that default is for <input type="submit">, not <button>.

I seem to recall that once upon a time the default type for a button was in fact "button" but at some point (somewhere in the region of html 5 / es6) it was switched into "submit".

I use git hooks in professional setting to prefix every commit message with the ticket the commit belongs to (this is done by extrapolating the ticket id from the feature branch name). It works pretty well and has saved my bacon a couple of times when I needed to figure out the provenance of a particular commit. Especially useful when I had to ask why that particular change was necessary.

Why are they going after the small fish?

If they really want to put a dent into this, go after the biggest players scraping LinkedIn: PeopleDataLabs and Apollo.io (and no, taking down their company page does not count)

Victory against small fish => establish legal precedence

legal precedence => Surer victory in the future for similar lawsuits

> Maybe a bit of an unpopular opinion here, but I still think the benevolent dictator is the way to go for open-source projects. If you are unhappy with how things are handled, fork it and do better.

If I start a project that attracts contributors[1], I don't see anything wrong with rejecting someone's CoC "contribution" with "I am the code of conduct. We don't need another one."

==================

[1] I try not to do that, btw.
