A TV that is not connected to the internet is effectively just a large monitor.

I understand that some TVs lock functionality and coerce you into connecting it to the network, but most of them function well as monitors. I know it’s tempting to make use of the “smart” features since it’s included, but if you care about privacy, it’s better to keep it off the internet.

That happened in the previous loop. This time-traveller ruined his life with hookers and blow, so instead of giving his younger self quick riches, he gave solid financial advice instead.

Would you mind telling us more about your exotic industrial camera and how you managed to salvage it? I love learning more about topics like this.

If your back is constantly itchy, it’s possible that you could benefit from exfoliating your skin. I use these salux cloths for my back and all over when I shower. My back scratching tool is now collecting dust and also, my keratosis pilaris issues went away after about a year.

If you get familiar with the Debian way of doing things, you’re gonna have a good time!

In Canada, I know people from Hong Kong who still boil water before drinking. They have been in Canada for 40+ years, have seen everyone around them drink tap water, and yet hang on to this ritual of boiling copious amounts of water.

Once I fully embraced the DontBreakDebian way of doing things, I haven’t looked back. I have 3 desktops and 3 laptops on cycles of testing, stable, and testing again depending on the current state of the testing distro. Debian + Flatpak meets most of my needs. Also, not having the latest, shiniest version isn’t always a bad thing. I have only had one major item break in testing and it was fixed within 3 days.
