Should be better. The writers have a decent track record compared to the first which was just Cameron

Maybe that's why they haven't ended it. The DST Gods are pissed at us

That's actually how I found out my chromecast died lol.

We had a super old roku TV that was slow. It's the main reason why people here hate smart TVs, but it was already pretty old.

My family didn't mind the slowness but I did. So I bought a chromecast for them to use and they didn't use it. I thought it was because it wasn't like using a control.

Few years later I tried to switch them to a streaming box with a remote. The fire TV. They started using that but eventually went back to the slow TV OS.

Then one day the fire TV just stopped working so I got the chromecast back out and that wasn't working either.

I decided not to bother buying another streaming device and just deal with the slowness.

Thankfully mom finally bought a new TV. It's not because it was slow though. Our old one was pretty small for our living room and I kept telling her to get a bigger one.

Its a TCL Google TV and obviously much faster. I probably won't buy a streaming device ever again since TVs come with casting abilities and even though my old TV was slow at casting, I just browsed Reddit for the few seconds it took to load.

I do. I don't see the downside. We have a new TV. I can cast to it since it's built in.

The old smart TV lasted longer than the chromecast and fire TV box

Kinda funny considering Reddit was known for having a subreddit called Jailbait.

No it's not a button. It can't be removed.

Nah chromium is a project, Blink is the engine to it but it's developed by more companies.

I don't have a windows laptop with it on me right now but last I tried, it had a white square on the top left that kept bugging me even with add ons.

VERY SMALL thing to be annoyed by I know, but that looked ugly to me. I use browsers in Windowed mode and it's hidden in full screen.

Chromium isn't an engine, Blink is. And it's not Google's but it's developed by 80 different companies.

I keep trying Firefox but for some reason, it's never as smooth as Chrome and I don't like the way it looks. Plus I like the features.

Same for Android, no tabbed browsing on Firefox for tablets is stupid.

Phones don't work that way anymore. GPS is only enabled per app basis now.

And this article isn't about GPS but Ip location, which is vague and sometimes wrong.

My home ip would tell you I'm in downtown Houston when I'm not.

You're on Reddit.

Vine never monetized so it failed. Tiktok did from the start I believe.

They do have good ideas in the app though.

You can download videos and it gives you their tag. Never been done before.

You can find the original video by going to the audio source usually, never been done before.

You can Duo and stitch, I don't think this has been done before.

You can use a lot of popular songs in your videos without worrying about it being taken down.

Then you have the bonuses of filters, quick editing and a great algorithm.

Imo this makes it the best video service.

I'm one of the people.

Current operating systems have permissions now. Tiktok has no permissions on my end and I don't think there's been an app that has bypassed the new permission system.

Also, I read the original source to the article and all they got was the ip location, which is very vague and pretty much wrong sometimes.

So it's not that big of an issue like people here think.

They use microphones lol

No.

Think of the difference of hearing and listening.

If you hear someone talking but don't know what they're saying, you are just hearing, not listening.

When you understand what they're saying, then you're listening.

The handicapper doesn't know is constantly trying to detect ('hearing') for a certain noise, but doesn't know what any other noises are. Once it hears a certain noise, then it turns on/off.

This is essentially how all voice assistants work. They're 'hearing' for a specific sound to activate the part that then is actually listen.

Ask yourself how those hand clappers work.

... That's not how it works.

It's like saying those hand clappers from 15 years ago that turns on things listen to everything lol

There's still no proof they do. Not even this bug listened to everything you said. It's only after you activated it and from your Bluetooth device, not the phone.

Me thinking hot air rises.

Also me remembering in Iron Man the final fight with Iron Monger gave him ice.

Thank you for confirming!

It'll be easy to prove if so.

Faster for me tbh.
