Has he tried siphoning American water from the ocean? It’s much closer and there’s lots of it. Could even bottle it directly at the source and slap his logo on it.

Dangit, copy-pasta from an unrelated comment. Fixed.
Lot of people saying they don’t give internet access to their TVs.
Fine, but that doesn’t work for cord-cutters who opted out of cable to go with streaming. And if you keep your TV away from internet but have a cable box, it will be doing all the tracking in this paper (and worse) then sending it to the cable provider.
So short of sticking with DVD/Bluray (unconnected) or over-the-air broadcast TV, there’s no way to stop from getting tracked.
The paper also lists domains where the data is being sent. You could always try blocking the destination addresses at the router level.

If you use github pages, you can create, deploy, and host static websites for free. Only cost, if you want your own URL, is for a custom DNS name.
You can use their default Jekyll static rendering engine, and create the content using Markdown. And with github actions, all you need to update the content is create markdown, then push the change to the same repo. After a few minutes, the new content shows up.
Hugo can also be used, but it takes a few extra steps: https://gohugo.io/hosting-and-deployment/hosting-on-github/
You can also find ‘themes’ to customize the look and feel of the site, specific to the site generation tool.
If you want a lot of extra features, Docusaurus is pretty much as good as it gets, and you can set it up to push out to GH pages: https://docusaurus.io/docs/deployment
I wouldn’t put any load on it until it was stained. At least two coats and a sealer.
This could be big. The fact that it’s sub-dollar, open-source, AND could be put on FlexPCBs opens up a whole lot of applications.
Only concern is the same as for RFID. They end up so cheap they’re tossed into landfills or end up in waterways without a second thought. At least there, people are working on biodegradable solutions: https://bioplasticsnews.com/2020/01/12/stora-enso-sustainable-rfid-tag/
If the Flex-RV people address sustainability, they could have a real winner.
Thanks, fixed.

My favorite tell is when a write-up starts with a verbose explanation of given knowledge on a subject. Yes, we all know what ‘World Wide Web’ and ‘Internal Combustion Engines’ are.
Get to the f’ing point.
So many $$$$$$$$$$$$$, no doubt, for a single record in a database.
First they switched to the mini-spares. Then they got rid of them altogether.
If you’re lucky, there are little filler canisters and a cigarette lighter-powered air compressor to let you get slowly to a tire shop. Sometimes, not even that. If there’s a nail or a blowout, tow-truck city. Just hope it’s not out in the middle of nowhere in the dark or in bad weather.
Can we add ‘cars with spare tires’ to the list?
Having to call a damned tow-truck just to get a flat tire fixed is not a winning move if you’re trying to sell how much your car benefits the environment.
Am amazed at the immense usability flaws. From the company that puts out guidelines on How Things Should Be Done.
Fan of their hardware, but I just don’t get this one.
I’m getting one of those chargers installed at home next week. The giant mushroom cloud you might see is nothing to worry about.
