on LG Denies Its TVs Are Spying on You (Unless You Opted In) in c/technology@lemmy.world · 13 Sep 2026
I’ve been looking at the onn box 4k but need to verify Cec capability. I had a jailbroken fire stick back in the day, but it didn’t get the seal of approval so I’ve been gun shy trying something else.

My LG TVs have about 6 options in terms and conditions . 2 are required to accept just to have the TV function, they are pretty standard. The remaining are focused on voice authorization, using your info for ads, making an LG account etc. I have never accepted those and my TV works just fine. I don’t even have an LG account created.
However, there must have been an update that changed one aspect, I went to use the streamio app, and LG now requires an LG account to update it. I have not been prompted for the same with the standard streaming services. This is probably going to get me to finally use a streaming box. And before anyone jumps on me for not doing that prior, it’s due to wife approval factor. I have to make it dead simple, no multiple remotes, no input changes, HDMI cec to auto turn on connected equipment etc.

on should i worry about a microphone in a third-party usb tv remote for a mini pc that im planning on using? in c/privacy@lemmy.ml · 12 Sep 2026
Are you looking for a TV remote without mic, or a remote for the media pc? There are several on Amazon designed for use on a PC without mics they also have learning ir so you could use it for the TV too.
The lg magic remote doesn’t work on other TVs.

on Teen Boys Are Using Meta Glasses to Terrorize Girls at High Schools and Middle Schools in c/technology@lemmy.world · 22 Aug 2026
When I was 16 and started working, I quickly had enough money saved from working minimum wage, part time, to buy myself a car. It’s not impossible.
Also, these may be kids/young adults, but they should all know right from wrong. Blame is absolutely on the students who use these too.

Don’t forget, high schools have students who are legal adults.

I felt GTA 5 had awful driving. It’s one of the big reasons I didn’t enjoy it.

Where’s that Mamdani and Miss Rachel crying gif
I have lived in 2 locations with the light switch at the front door, doesn’t control the entry lights. I was forced to use smart bulbs to keep from walking into a pitch black house.
