I first read that as “he lives near a zoo…”, and it made me wonder if it was his choice, to be closer to the animals.

I remember wanting one of these. Can’t remember why I didn’t get one, but I do remember thinking it was a breath of fresh air as far as car stereos go.

Uninstalled.

Luckily I/people I interact with never used it much.

Like others have pointed out, It was indeed very much tongue-in-cheek.

Just what we needed, more surveillance /s

These days, most companies that work with web based products are under pressure from upper management to “use AI”, as there’s a fear of missing out if they don’t. Now, management doesn’t necessarily have any idea what they should use it for, so they leave that to product managers and such. They don’t have any idea, either, and so they look at what features others have built and find a way to adapt one or more of those to fit their own products.

Slap on back, job well done, clueless upper management happy, even though money and time have been spent and the revenue remains the same.

“Come oot here and I’ll rip yer hed off!”

If you’re diligent you could be looking at decades of not installing crap!

Towards their employees, too.

Update: Adding *.claspws.tv to the allowlist for your private DNS could make casting work again.

I say could because for me it only made casting to a Chromecast Ultra work. Casting to e.g. a Chromecast with Google TV, or a Home hub is a no go. I can connect to those devices but not actually play anything.

I hope there’s a future where providing the blueprints for wear parts is a common thing to do. It could make it easy to extend the life of a great many things, I reckon.

Aha, your pihole comment made me remember I’m using a third party/private DNS. I switched off private DNS in settings et voilà, my devices appeared.

However, just like you, I can connect but not actually cast anything.

Anyway, glad to hear it’s not just me. Clearly an app issue, then.

Edit: I meant for this to be a reply to @shnizmuffin

I like how they both appear to have faces of pure bliss, and folding their front paws together in prayer. We must fight but let’s pray it’ll be a civil fight.

Alright, we’ll give you really cool claws, but the trade-off is that you’ll move with the speed of darkness.

Same in Norwegian, dovendyr.

Doven = lazy, or more accurately, “action less”. Dyr = animal.

Can’t hold back spending taxpayer money when shopping for tools to keep the taxpayer down. /s

He’s looking more and more like Kim Jong Un by the day…

“The bigger we are the more misery we can inflict - Musk, Trump, plz help!”

I just watched a Fascinating Horror video on this tragedy.

We’re probably witnessing the future of US democracy right there. Every question, or at least the ones where they pretend public opinion matters, to be settled by a poll on shitter.
