@16bitnostalgia I bought it day one with my dreamcast and it didn't work. They sent pal copies to gamestop. So I returned it and got soul calibur. Good times
I'm glad they went with and even MORE feminine design for Sheik. It will stop those stupid transgender faggots from trying to use her as a mascot. I'm tired of hearing "Zelda is trans because they are Sheik"
Fuck your imaginary nonsense.
What the TV does by design:
— scans your entire home network continuously. in their test: one TV identified 38 unrelated devices including phones, smartwatches, printers, and thermostats belonging to people not involved in the test.
— collects the names and signal strengths of every nearby WiFi network, plus location data. all sent to LG Ad Solutions.
— runs ACR (Automatic Content Recognition) on everything displayed on screen. including HDMI inputs. your laptop, gaming console, or work monitor connected to the TV is being fingerprinted.
— one TV exchanged roughly 4GB of ACR-related data per month.
What the TV does that LG says it doesn't:
LG publicly stated their TVs "do not collect, record, or store ambient conversations."
Gamers Nexus found:
— the TV converts speech to plain text and stores it in on-device logs
— the microphone window stays open 10 to 15 seconds after talking stops, capturing bystanders who never addressed the TV
— the TV recorded room audio while the screen appeared off and the Ethernet cable was unplugged, then exfiltrated the file the moment it reconnected
The security vulnerabilities on top:
Beyond the designed behavior, researchers found remote code execution vulnerabilities in webOS that could allow a compromised TV to be weaponized as a covert listening device.
these sets are in hospitals. waiting rooms. boardrooms. hotels.
a surgeon asked Gamers Nexus where that leaves patient confidentiality.
Gamers Nexus has no answer. neither does LG.
What to do right now:
— disconnect your LG TV from your network entirely. route streaming through an Apple TV, Roku, or Fire Stick instead.
— if you must keep it connected: put it on a separate IoT VLAN or guest network so it cannot reach your other devices.
— disable the built-in microphone in settings.
— check your privacy dashboard and opt out of ACR and ad personalization.
— after every firmware update: recheck all of the above.

@Neko_Tet The thing is is that most people don’t even like Trump anymore this show has just completely fallen off and no longer has its finger on the pulse.
@AriosSeeker@struck_dead@FFPeasants or they could’ve not designed an overworld full of so much unnecessary bloat and made a concise thematic gameplay experience that actually reflected the original instead of this hot garbage, but you know go on
@AriosSeeker@struck_dead@FFPeasants I just think it's fortniteesque and retarded looking. It wast a homage to the one scene. You can write all the novels you want about it. But to say that modern systems can't handle landing airship is fucking stupid.
