LineageOS Android TV looks like an interesting solution but having SELinux in permissive mode is a bit scary. Maybe someone with more in-depth Linux knowledge can chime in here but my understanding is that would mean that the Android kernel's security system would basically be turned off. Permissive Mode logs security access violations within the OS but does nothing to prevent them so I would be wary of connecting it to the internet.

Naw it was perfectly clear. People just need to read past the first sentence.

Seriously! I know that BLUF is a thing but do that many people seriously not read past the first line before feeling the need to correct someone on the internet? @ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca as a fellow member of the human race let me formally thank you for forming a question, seeking out information that either confirms or denies your question, and informing everyone else who may have had the same misconception.

I agree that cybersecurity features should be included. In fact I think they should be included for free. The problem is that Microsoft wanted to charge the Department of Defense and it sounds like they used politics to make sure they could, and if true then they (and maybe also the DoD?) may have violated some federal laws around government procurement and "gifts" from contractors to the government.

I can't speak for other countries, the EU banned it a while ago, but up until very recently a lot of citrus drinks over here in the U.S. used a chemical called Brominated Vegetable Oil as a stabilizer/emulsifier I think? So at least in the U.S. there can be fats in some sodas. Maybe enough for the THC?

If you're particularly lazy and want to check how a plant is doing you can even just microwave to activate it. put it in a glass cup with a damp paper towl under it, cover with a second damp paper towl, cover in plastic wrap except a small gap like you're making a microwave dinner. Cook for a minute at a time on 20-30% power and let the steam release between cooks. Do that 2-3 times then remove nug from container and let it sit a few minutes on a plate or something.

Sorry to necro this but I just saw in the latest LTT vid that apparently Microsoft did go through with this plan? They were talking about it in the context of the diskless xbox that just released. https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/xbox/forum/all/how-to-transfer-content-licenses/7ac76f4e-c7e4-4153-8824-1e424478b02d

That's their goal. "You'll own nothing and be happy."

Having to fly under the radar or risk financial ruin doesn't sound like ownership to me.

Yeah that's more comparable. I was mostly just trying to state the difference between ownership and a perpetual license but I'm thinking I oversimplified lol.

Oh yeah, I understand. I was just trying to describe the difference between ownership and a perpetual license in overly simplified terms. Also, can you think of any examples of digital goods that retain first sale doctrine? With physical disks at least a second hand market still exists for that very reason, but I can't think of any digital media that allow resale. I would love to be wrong!

It depends on your definition of ownership. If having perpetual access to a product is enough then yes. But we aren't allowed to, say, disassemble a game and use it's assets to make something of our own. As opposed to say a spoon. Nobody can tell me how I can and can't use my spoon.
