He was fined €240M? What had he done?

The safety violation will be that the ammunition wasn't stored in the proper storage bunkers and was therefore vulnerable to an attack setting off the whole lot.

...and then an attack did just that.

It's the ignoring of people's issues that's the key problem. If the people are hurting and the government aren't doing anything to help them, preferring to bail out corporations or enable their exploitation of their customers/employees, then the people will look for alternatives to vote for.

All the extremists need to do is pay lip service and they have a ready made electoral platform.

It also said he's 6'3" and 224 lbs. I'm calling BS on both of those.

No, which is why people saying "Buy it and don't connect it to the internet" isn't helping. More people need to not buy it and tell other people not to buy it.

To get them to stop they need to lose both the original sale and the additional advertising revenue. Right now their thinking is:

  • People are buying our TVs
  • Putting advertising on them isn't causing our sales to drop
  • Therefore it's costing us next to nothing to do.
  • It often gets us extra revenue if they connect to the internet.
  • If they don't connect, we still more than covered our costs.

There is no downside for them. Only upside. The equation needs to change for them to stop doing it.

They're industrial boxes with a screen. Not aesthetically what I want in my living room. The displays are chosen for their longevity, not their picture quality. They're often actively cooled with fans, so adding a noise level to their operation.

Have you asked an LLM to translate anything bigger than a few sentences? It doesn't have enough contextual storage to keep a whole paper "in mind" and soon wanders off into nonsense.

Google translate is a different beast.

I don't like the hate speech laws because I think they can be abused to include far too much, however NO LAW SHOULD BE CHANGED IN THE UK IN THE PERSUIT OF TRADE WITH THIS CUNT.

He can fuck right off.

You're still rewarding bad behaviour. They still put all the crap on and made the sale anyway.

I agree, but with TVs (or large displays" we're at the point where there are no good options. Commercial displays are over engineered for the home and lag in technology Vs home TVs. So they're not an option. Lg and Samsung are the display technology leaders, but their TVs are full of crap— so no. Monitors don't go large enough for the living room.

Guess I'm stuck with what I have.
