It wont be adopted because we unconciously need to avoid responsibility of showing up as responsible human beings. Hence western civilization will crash and burn unless we start rethinking the way we operate.

Agreed. The whole pointing fingers bit is us wanting to distract ourselves from responsibility of either looking at how we enable the problem, or avoiding responsibility of taken action towards resolving it.

Watch the GamersNexus video. Its all there.

Yep this was my first gut reaction to this whole situation. But the difference for me is that society is allowing these corporations to act without strict rules on how they behave and this is a byproduct of a corrupt world. Nothing will change until there is a complete systemic shift in the structures the way we live and by extension the way we govern ourselves and treat each other.

Im not sure if you read up on the situation, but the current smart TV's surveillance functions are way beyond what anyone should have to deal with.

They scan and connect to near Wifi devices to send data without consent There is communications being done through HDMI.

I mean what is it going to take for people to realize that getting smart TV, for any reason, is really dumb.

I think it would be less time consuming to build one yourself.

I think this is a great idea. I guess HN does think this scientific enough. ;)

LOL Lets screenshot each others comments and comment on them.

How do you know LG isn't giving/allowing/lookingtheotherway a 3rd party access to there API?

The article reads more like a reverse psychology article directed at the public rather than a real criticism of mass surveillance.

It's almost as if they want to convince their audience that the practice is justified. The article spends an inordinate amount of time on flocks history from the point of view of the perpetrators of the practice rather than how it's harming society. This is a typical tactic the establishment uses to keep the focus on an evil scapegoat so the practice can be slipping in under the radar by another less well know contractor.

One of the things that bother me is that a lot of their language around the tracking technology is "We don't do x with it" But that doesnt rule out someone thats not affiliated with LG to use those features to perform various levels of surveillance.

IMHO I think there is more to what LG is telling the public. There is no reason for the level of adversarial tech and dark patterns in the UI if you are not doing something shady with it.

ROFLOL!!!

That's exactly the way I framed the relationship between Microsoft and its victim in a companion article[0] I wrote in 2025 looking back on my switch to Linux.

Since then I started realizing how parasitic the proprietary software industry really is.

Thanks. Interesting points. Not sure I quite understand it, but I will think it over.

Ohh. But doesnt it push and control legislation? If it was just a standards body, couldn't countries governments just approve or deny recommendations at will?

It seems like its operating as a government too me, but maybe I am not seeing the whole picture.

I was thinking about this article back in 2024[0]. What has changed, I wonder?

> Passkeys sync automatically across devices signed into the same Apple ID, Google account, or Microsoft account.

Do you have to be in one of those ecosystems? because I am on neither.

The problem for me is I am on Linux devices and I can see this being a solution that will start to lock people out of there accounts if they don't have an approved device...

Yeah this sounds like another scam. I big one. We should really find another way to govern societies.

Its not just that. We have cronie capitalism. The problem is within.

IMO this is bigger than voting. Its a systemic problem, we need systemic change to fix this.

> lawful access

I have heard this term used before. I think in the chat control stuff.

Its a red herring term. More like unlawful access and they don't want people to suspect that they are trying to illegally break and harm communications

There are people in the background that are benefiting from all this and it seems to me that its not limited to just one country. Someone knows that weakening all of these systems globally has a lot to gain.

Certain parts of the UK is using that exact same approach it seems like. They are gaslighting there own populace by bringing in immigrants to take over work that is being stalled by protests and the only people that are noticing are the people that are the activists.

I still dont understand how a thing that passes this way has any legitimacy? Cant the EU just not allow it to be enforced?

>But for many states, they have significantly greater power by virtue of being in the EU than they would without. Arguably, even the UK lost power by leaving.

What kind of loss of power are you referring to?

Can you please explain to me why you think this is the case? Can parliament make law or not? Why is the commission the only body that can make law? Its staffed with people that appear to serve special interests. I saw this during the Stop Killing Games Where the EU commission meet with the game industry privately in EU before the decision on the Stop Destroying Video games Initiative. If there is no way to challenge the EU commission's practices that are not democratic, how can you consider the EU commission a body that actually works for I members?

Wow sounds like a great organization. Any organization on a sanction list from this criminal government is a friend of mine.

> Also, DMCA is a damned mess, with the worst people in the world profiting from it and bullying small creators. There really should be better mechanisms to defend oneself from spurious claims.

Im pretty sure this is by design. The big players need to stifle small creators to maintain monopolies, google helps them do this because they benefit in some way.

Something of this capacity would be useful in investigating obscure hardware failures in the logs that I couldn't confirm because the problem was not being observed while the device was in my shop. the problem was surfacing in another location probably due to some set of circumstances in the software that I could recreate, or some particular peripherals that were attached.

I ran into the very same problem of the LLM forgetting that we ruled out a conclusion that was verified not to be the cause as it came up further in the conversation history while I was exploring possibilities.

I had to keep reminding we ruled out that conclusion prior.. I just carried on with having the LLM capture some of the supporting sources of other people experiencing the same problem and kept having to refine those sources because it was focused only on summaries, but eventually i got the sources to a point where they were good enough hypothesis that we could formulate a better conclusion on what the potential cause was.
