@tk I have ONE teflon pan -- cheap restaurant supply store pan, easily replaced if the teflon gets scratched. Otherwise stainless and cast iron, always and forever
Note this isn't because the "projects embracing AI are getting AI money." Only a small amount of them are.
This is just me reiterating that software doesn't evolve with only users. Someone has to improve it, fix bugs, contribute new features.
The internet is full of open source projects dying a slow death because people keep using them and they keep ticking along, and it's nice to see new users come on board. But if your developer base is aging out .. you're eventually going to see them die.
@phnt@drwho@MuseumJoe the only gross thing they do is ACR. But everyone does ACR. Can you turn it off? yes. I can in my Sony Bravia, it's a service/software from https://Samba.tv which you can disable if you dig into the settings.
@drwho@MuseumJoe there are strong questions about whether or not the LG thing is even happening. I didn't watch the video, but this guy breaks down why they didn't really prove anything at all and likely misunderstand basic functionality.

Why doesn't it just stop playing? Because with Bluetooth you can't control the audio at all at the player, you have to tell the Bluetooth device to stop sending the audio to you. And if you can't, you can't.
Insane. Just stop playing. Cut off the stream. Let the Bluetooth device hit an error state and stop when it realizes it's not getting ACKs or wherever.
Just let me control the damn radio from the damn radio
