    People could also consider using regular satellite receivers with their TVs without connecting Ethernet to them, or using a separate, privacy-aware, Linux-based mini computer that only does what one wants. Personally, I would never connect any of those devices to the internetz et. al. #SmartTvs #Privacy #Security #Surveillance

  19. @riverpunk @tinker @jerry I agree, except that we also need better and more permanent legal conditions imposed to make future Flock-type deals impossible.

    - Bad ethernet cable that shows a connection, but no data can pass through.

    In other words, levels of the OSI model *before* it gets to their software.

    All kinds of ways to prevent or frustrate LG.

    And there much more smarter people than me that have ideas too

  28. 1/ Since LG wants to play games and spy on people in their own homes, here are some games you can play with them if you own the network:

    - Null routing at the gateway
    - Route the TV traffic through another country via a cheap VPS
    - Changing QOS (Quality of Service) by cinching down that traffic to 3600 baud speeds
    - Sending TCP RST to the TV source ports causing the TV to retry to connect ad infinitum

  31. Hmm. There has been some rearranging of the flock cameras in my area. I noticed today.
    Two of them at one location are now gone. And one has appeared at a local crossroad where there was none before. I think I’ll do a general “audit” of the ones shown in my area and make changes as needed

  32. The Sneaky Attempt to End Cash

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CZspAptXwQ

    The End of Cash | Plain Meaning

    On August 7th, 2026, a mostly empty Senate chamber passed a bill that
    most Americans have never heard of. There was no recorded vote. Just
    silence. And in that silence, something significant happened.

    The Common Cents Act would end production of the penny permanently.
    But buried inside an amendment introduced at 10:53pm by a blockchain
    entrepreneur turned senator was something nobody really talked about.
    It was a provision that would give the Secretary of the Treasury the
    power to eliminate every coin in American circulation. The nickel. The
    dime. The quarter. All of it could be gone with nothing but 60 days
    notice to Congress.

    In this episode of Plain Meaning, I break down exactly what happened
    that night, who was behind it, and what they stand to gain. I look at
    a senator known as the "crypto queen" and another senator who made his
    money selling cars, and how they stand to gain from all this. I also
    look at the firms behind them and why eliminating physical cash would
    make them extraordinarily powerful.

    I also ask the question nobody in Washington is asking--what happens
    when the lights go out and your only form of payment is digital? What
    happens when your digital wallet gets hacked? And what does it mean
    for every American when a handful of technology firms control the
    infrastructure every single transaction in your life must go through?

    Physical cash is the only form of payment that requires no middleman,
    no electricity, no network, and no permission. This episode explains
    why that matters--and what you can still do about it.

    The bill has not yet become law. The House must still vote on the
    Senate version. There is still time. But only if people know what is
    happening.

  33. The Real Reason Behind Online Age Verification Laws

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHZTeEN2HT0

    What does online age verification laws actually have to do with the ENABLING of collecting data from children, China's surveillance and censorship laws, and the profits of companies like Facebook, Apple, and Google? A lot more than you think.

    In this episode of Plain Meaning, I break down the real agenda behind the push for operating system age verification. From California's Digital Age Assurance Act to federal proposals in Congress, they have come from the same source. I trace who benefits, what laws get quietly gutted in the process, and why the timing lines up suspiciously with China's own digital surveillance rollout.

    What you'll learn:
    — Why Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Meta all win if these laws pass
    — How age verification effectively nullifies existing laws that protect you and your children like COPPA and the Privacy Act of 1974
    — What already happened in the UK under the Online Safety Act — and why it matters for America
    — The striking parallels between Apple's product rollouts and China's surveillance
    — Why this isn't about protecting kids at all but more about removing the remaining barriers SO THEY CAN TRACK THEM

    This is Part 1 of the Plain Meaning 12-part Plain Meaning Special Report. Links to all episodes will appear as they're released.

    The Real Reason Behind Online Age Verification Laws
    The rest are coming soon...

    California's law takes effect January 2027. There is still time — but not much.
