It isn’t as much as not knowing how to govern as much as they just don’t want to. They are managing a power shift away from those that do. Only there to grab power and if they can also fit some grift in they will.

That and the quality of the disc. There used to be a manufacturer grade rating for the CD/DVDs. Don’t know if BR got rated as well.

I am not an optical disc expert, but I recall with CDs/DVDs, factory pressed are more resilient whereas burned discs can rot more easily. I believe this still holds true with BR. Furthermore, there are carbon-based BR discs that profess to not exhibit data rot for 1000 years.

I mean, yes fuck nvidia for sure, but I think those ads are via the googs. They have ramped up lately for sure.

If memory serves correctly it was another Samsung device it was leveraging which makes more sense. There were other occasions where it had once been attached to WiFi for a firmware update, disconnected and told to forget the network, but attached again to it at least twice. Took the steps to forget the network again and then powered off completely. Subsequent checks show no further connections so far.

I know that a Samsung teevee disconnected from the internet will try and use another appliances internet connection if it can. Gotta imagine this is possible in other devices, too.
