But they haven't released a TV with that feature yet though, and if I remember right that patent's fairly old – something like 10–15 years.

Wonder what's kept them from actually doing it. Maybe even Sony suits understood it'd be a fucking disaster from a marketing perspective?

Edit: the patent was filed in 2009

I'm actually somewhat surprised that "smart" TVs and phones don't already have attention-aware ads

Yeah, although without the cool space station and cyberpunk-ish tech. I doubt we'll get that far.

we aren’t going to science up a magic bullet to save us from the epically irresponsible actions of our epically irresponsible species.

In-fuckin-deed. All the talk about "carbon capture" schemes makes my skin crawl.

Well it's either that or delusional parasitosis that makes my skin crawl, but anyhow.

won’t stop until they […] are physically stopped by something like climate change

Ah I see you're an optimist.

While the network service is designed to only accept commands that start with “wl” or “nvram get,” ONEKEY found that the restriction could be trivially bypassed by injecting a command after shell meta-characters like ; , & , or, | (e.g., “wl;id;”).

Whenever I feel like I'm a terrible programmer, I remind myself that there are vast amounts of confident coders out there being paid for code with idiotic mistakes like this and they have no intention of getting any better at it

Yeah, what's "gaming" about this thing? Does it hate women and minorities?

[–] hydroptic@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago

Ha now see, those would definitely fit the bill

It'd be funny if they were eg. Revolutionary Socialist Party and Socialist Revolutionary Party, or Communist Party of India and Indian Communist Party. Now it's just… well, two parties with very different names ~~and different politics (socialism ≠ communism)~~ (edit: see reply comment re politics of the RSP)
