Going a bit old-school with this one, but unmoderated DALnet. It used to be the wild West, with everything at your fingertips.

At this point I use Home Assistant for everything IoT and won't buy any product I can't use LAN-only through HA.

The unfortunate exception to this rule is TVs. You can't even buy a "dumb" TV anymore. I put up with LGs after disabling every setting and data agreement I can for privacy's sake, but none of them are good.

Every submission to the archive has metadata associated with it, one of those pieces of metadata is the email of the uploader. You can look it up, search by it, etc. I question that claim from the article. I've never seen IA claim this information isn't publicly available.

Was this somehow not common knowledge? An upload always has an email associated with it publicly.

Praying the disc loads. That second screen only shows if it's successful.

It wasn't a buyout, more of a threat.

While CHS is the likely culprit, it could also be an allergy that's built up over time. Most people don't realize it's possible to be allergic to cannabis, but it is indeed. Source: I'm allergic to cannabis.

If so, look into desensitization methods. Not sure if they work with an acquired allergy or not though.

Honestly, that claim sounds like garbage.

I love root beer, but not Mug. That stuff is awful.

Yep, same. Works fine for me, I never wanted the features that disables.

I got an LG because despite how it looks, you can just refuse to agree to a bunch of their privacy agreements and be fine. It's not perfect, but it's a hell of a lot better than it would be otherwise, and miles ahead of Samsung's lack of options.

Battleye is, but they didn't enable it for Linux. Literally a switch, and they failed to do so.
