People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

RULES:

  1. Mark NSFW content.
  2. No doxxing people.
  3. Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
  4. No international politcs
  5. Be excellent to each other.
  6. Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
  7. If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement

It would be more feasible to de-fang modern appliances.

That’s a legit great idea. Create a new firmware for smart TVs too.

People always call me crazy but I buy commercial displays. You can get them cheaper if you do it the right way. So speakers, no tuner, no smart functions, usually only 1 or 2 inputs, and basically no bells or whistles.

But that's how I like it, so I don't care if it makes me 🤣😧🤣😧

Call me crazier that's a "monitor".

There might be some liability concerns if you run a open source firmware on your washing machine and it decides to never shut off the water inlet...

Yes, the new company would be providing a new warranty based on that. Same as usual.
