man when people were telling me that smart TVs are a privacy nightmare, I thought that was because they recorded what you watched using their built in media-player OS.

NOPE! Apparently Roku TV's will give you popups based on what DVDs you're watching through them, because they screenshot the HDMI-in and compare it to a database.
that's a few steps creepier than I was expecting from a garden variety privacy invasion

A fascist state does not declare its fascism by announcing that it has become a fascist state.

A fascist state declares its fascism by announcing that antifascists are the enemies of the state.

That budget Win7 PC is so budget that it has a single Allen socket cap screw (CR-V 2.5) holding on the side panel, a 2GB RAM stick, and a 1GB RAM stick.

As you could imagine, Win10 performed well enough to actually install updates when the super-cheap 3GB RAM was replaced with very affordable 8GB RAM.

@mavica_again I absolutely love it when device drivers take "Safely remove hardware" (the mounted SD card) to actually mean "Safely remove hardware" (the entire suite of media card readers on that internal cable).
