interesting bit of information: most EV mower companies now do not provide replacement parts - if a mower dies within warranty, a 'certified' warranty repair shop does basic troubleshooting, and if it's beyond a piece of cheap plastic, the mfr just ships a new mower to the 'repair shop'. Once out of warranty, you're on your own.
Thank you for reminding us that electric mowers are garbage.
Preparing casus belli.. first, open weights LLM which are "not secure", now "TV sticks"..
Oh joes and janes, who will put finally some sense into you..
So where can I get an actual privacy focused streaming box, even if the apps (Neflix etc) running on it are not?
Apple TV is currently the best balance of privacy and convenience. The only way to get more private is using a PC, but that limits the resolution for most streaming services to 720p or 1080p.
I'm on my second one and I've owned them since the first version. My current one is the first generation 4k that's ... seven years old? Still works like new.

Perhaps they grew up in a time/environment where "if it was that bad they wouldn't be allowed to advertise it", and they're still using that old calibration?

See CoreELEC/LibreELEC/etc - totally replaces the (potentially dodgy) Android OS on these kind of streaming boxes with a stripped down Linux+Kodi setup
I thought those were for x86? They run on ARM TV boxes / sticks now?

Difficult to distinguish between actual slave labour and China-is-bad propaganda. Harm to the end user: none^ Benefits to the end user: more affordable tomato paste Government action to prevent slave labour products entering Australia: none^ ^close enough.
Negatives to end user: unknown pesticides or banned pesticides. No propaganda - lack of validation, evidence and trust

Ah, yes, the great TV sticks war of 2028. We'll tell the stories.
China is not doing that as far as I know. Neither Russia did it before the war, though you were claiming the contrary (I know, since I live in the west and could compare news from both sides, being a native Russian speaker).

It is perfectly legal to sell Chinese tomatoes in Australia (which is not necessarily a good thing, re: forced labour in Italy and China). The fraud is mislabeling them as Australian or similar, denying consumers from making their own ethical choice. Which is your harm to the end user and generally enforced by the ACCC.
The ABC is a know, as in they don't even try to pretend propriety, propaganda outlet of the Australia Albanese federal Government.
I'm not saying this is definitely propaganda, but there's a non-zero chance it is.
The Albanese government has been very open about attacking industry.
