Google has confirmed that, starting this month, new Google TV remotes will have a dedicated "Free TV" button to launch Freeplay.

Nothing says "I am the master of making a deal" like having to back off of nearly all of them every time anyone calls your bluff.
I'll never see how so many think Trump is one of the smartest people in any room.
He's a slumlord, just like his father. It is just unfortunate that the entire country will be his shitty government housing block by the time he gets done with it.
Walking my dog, anxiety, pessimism, and existential dread mostly.
Or Disney. That mouse would shank his own grandmouse for a larger slice of cheese.
Ugh, yeah, typo. Flameshot.
I really like Flameshot for screenshots.
Guess I am going to be taking my "pro-sumer" dollars elsewhere.
So you are alive when they start to eat you....
I dunno, those giant spiders might prove a good deterrent should the likes of the not so dapper Don decide to come take the place by force.
In a world with habitual line steppers, we need a Charlie Murphy to "check" them.
I don't think anyone wants to hear from Biden at this point. He by all accounts did his level best to put his ego ahead of the good of the people of the country which did nothing but help further Trump's talking points.
No kidding your honor. The question is what exactly are you or any other judge going to do about it?
I don't mean that in a Trump is right kind of way. I mean it in a this is something the judiciary needs to be seriously looking into sooner rather than later.
Yet more evidence that it doesn't actually matter in the eyes of the Trump administration what the law says, or what a judge says, if there is nothing behind it to physically make them follow it or face actual consequences.
I've always found that logic weird on their part.
If I am planning to do it anyway, because I recognize it is the right thing to do, what difference does it make if there are laws in place to ensure the less ethical among us do it as well?
Increased reliance on touch screen devices with dodgy autocorrect probably accounts for a good chunk of it.
I know it is not uncommon for me to have to go back and edit something I wrote from my phone after I submit it because I didn't see the autocorrect mistake before hitting send.
Or, and hear me out, I could just carry a single device with a charging cable that weighs less than 5lbs that does all of that without all of the cables and BS associated with trying to be a tech edgelord for clicks. Hell, if that device is a Framework is will probably be way more repairable than that mini PC and probably super fragile AR glasses as well.
He is just saying that any vaccine created since Jenny McCarthy got up to speed on Andrew Wakefield's nonsense is bad.
All of those other vaccines that did so much good when he was young are fine.
If it didn't come out of "the good old days" of when these people were in their prime it is some liberal conspiracy after all. /s

If its not more blatant ways to display ads or AI Google isn't working on anything it would seem.
I have hated few things in this world as much as advertising. It is one of the few industries I feel is beyond saving and produces nothing of value at all levels. I am of the opinion that advertising is like cancer, whenever it is allowed to get a foothold somewhere it will eventually kill the host. For-profit companies can not resist the easy money promised by advertising, so the only way to combat it is not have it to begin with.
I go out of my way to pay for the things I use with money and not attention if at all possible. I will nearly always favor buying from a company that does not get most of their revenue from advertising, even if it means I pay more for the product and it is a less capable product or service.
Lemmy as a platform speaks to me on a philosophical level when it comes to the kinds of technology I use when I have the choice. I like that it is not at the mercy of the need to turn a profit to exist.
U.S. stocks see biggest 2-day wipeout in history as market loses $11 trillion since Inauguration Day
Amazing how every time the Republicans get majority control of things the markets go to shit. The faster they work to dismantle what democratic control of something exists the faster it falls apart.
Those responsible for this should be in prison and going forward Isreal should be told in no uncertain terms that if they want any aid from the rest of the world they have to find a way to live on the same track of land as the Palestinians.
These people have been either killing or planning to kill each other for as long as both have existed. And it is long past time for everyone else in the world to take these differences that are rooted in religious zealotry as anything more than a threat to the lives of the innocent that lives there.
Google has confirmed it will move development of the Android OS to behind closed doors. Here's why it's doing it.
Users are unimpressed, eager to toss devices if test sticks.
Live updates: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is confirmed as Trump's health secretary by the Senate

The Trump Justice Department says it has fired more than a dozen employees who worked on criminal investigations into President Donald Trump.
Google is rolling out a redesigned AI Overviews experience — with ads — and expanding its test of AI-organized results pages.
As if those AI overviews weren't already useless enough.
OpenAI is begging Parliament to allow it to use copyrighted works because it's "impossible" for the company to make money without them.
Cox tries to get contributory infringement ruling in Sony lawsuit overturned.
It feels dirty to agree with an ISP on something. But even the worst corporations are on the right side of something from time to time I suppose.
I’ve been struggling to understand why Canonical would withhold security fixes on a Long Term Support release
Google Maps tests new pop-up ads that give you an unnecessary detour
Google Maps is testing a new ad format that gives users the option to add a stop for a sponsored location during navigation.
Jesus, that is a gross way to inject advertising into turn-by-turn navigation.
Edit/update from 9to5google so this post does not spread what is apparently inaccurate information: https://9to5google.com/2024/07/08/google-maps-pop-up-quick-detour-ad/
Without updates or ability to download after August, app will become useless.
It is hard to imagine that there was not someone inside of Nike that lost their faith in humanity when the pitch for these things was originally taking off.
Steve Teixeira, said to be CEO-in-waiting, now sues Firefox maker for discrimination, retaliation
At I/O 2024, "Chromecast built-in" was quietly rebranded to "Google Cast." Notably, this is reversing a branding change made in 2016...
Well, at least they aren't outright throwing the functionality in the trash.
Last week the CEO said Tesla will spend $500 million expanding the charger network.
I can't imagine anyone that has decent prospects would agree to go back to Tesla after getting canned with those kinds of wild swings in decision making.
Amazon is adding three types of shoppable ads to Prime Video's ad tier.
As if the Prime Video app couldn't get any worse.
Meanwhile, Roku keeps making more money.
Kaiser, one of the largest healthcare organizations in the United States, said it was notifying 13.4 million members of a data breach earlier in April.
Roku said it discovered malicious hackers compromised more than half a million user accounts while investigating an earlier spate of account hacks.
Jesus, again already?
Facebook Watch, Netflix were allegedly bigger competitors than they let on.
Starting in 2025, devices can't block repair parts with software pairing checks.
