HMD not allowing bootloader unlocks is indefensible

"Being better than human drivers" is such a low bar because human drivers are terrible. But even if AI cars do better statistically, the mistakes they do make are so strange and preventable, it really makes you think.

Just because something is safer statistically doesn't mean it doesn't need to be better. Heck maybe the whole system needs to be better.

You can argue for both automation and fair treatment for workers. For example, if gas lamps become electric, you could give the lamplighters some time or new training to find a new job. I'm sure a labor academic would know better how to navigate jobs being obsoleted, but the answer to technologic progress isn't "keep taxi drivers at all costs" it's "protect taxi drivers from corporations"

Can you imagine all the troll farms automatically using all this power

Sweet! Let me know if it works for you!

It's a Sony TV, a Bravia model from many years ago. It runs on a raspberry pi 2, connected with HDMI. There is a setting called CEC (if I remember correctly) that was automatically enabled, and lets the TV remote's commands pass thru to the RPI over the HDMI cable. Should work for most TVs, but if you use an HDMI to DisplayPort/usbC adapter, some of those might not work right.

I hope you can try it out because it's very convenient as a user. And as the administrator you can still connect a mouse/keyboard or use a smartphone to configure the more powerful things Kodi can do.

That's hilarious because Dexerto is a plausible name for it lol

The one that came with my tv.

I just click up down left right enter return and it works.

Upon reading your comment I couldn't figure out what it meant.

Now I think that X's new video thing isn't called Dexerto.

A website called Dexerto reported on the story.

Now did I get it right?

Should have called it Y

You're describing a completely foreign experience to me. I've always controlled Kodi with the TV remote. It's kind of annoying to type in stuff, but I mostly use Kodi to record and watch jeopardy.
