It’s like the seasons in Texas. You have summer, MEGASUMMER, still summer, mostly summer but with rain.

Must be a regional thing because for me “our” always sounds like “hour” no matter what

The Samsung tries to “identify” what’s on an hdmi input before it will connect. It seems to call out to the internet to do that because it takes forever to fail and show you the display anyway when it’s not connected to the internet. Even when it is connected, it takes a stupidly long time to switch to a new input. I super hate it and will never buy another samsung tv.

I guess the lg needs to boot tizen before it works, because I see the logo briefly but then it goes directly to the last used input with no other bullshit, so it’s fine with me.

I love how literally nobody is answering your actual question.

I agree that this is problematic and we need TV reviews to include at least some of the information you cite.

If it helps, I have an LG smart TV. It complains if you don't let it access the internet at setup, but if you connect it once and let it do its initial patching, you can decline all agreements and not get nagged until it tries to update again. To keep it from further updates, you can disconnect it from wifi and it doesn't seem to try to reconnect. I can't speak to public wifi because there aren't any open access points near my TV.

In contrast, I have a samsung TV that loses its mind if it can't connect to the internet and becomes basically useless for all the nagging.

No, originally the first three digits designated where you lived when you requested your SSN. The middle two were also not sequential. The final four digits were the only purely sequential ones.

I won’t buy it with denuvo, period. As far as game mechanics goes, I’m fine(ish) with what I’ve seen so far but I wouldn’t pre-order.

The windows version of civ 6 runs better on Linux than the “native” version. I hope they do a better job with 7 but I’m not gonna hold my breath.

I finished the prequel the day after I started it. Now I’m about halfway through The Pillars of the Earth and I’m thoroughly enjoying it even though I generally don’t care for historical fiction.

I started reading “The Evening and the Morning” by Ken Follett yesterday and I’m already halfway through. It’s a prequel to “The Pillars of the Earth.”

Thanks for the confirmation, robobruddah
