You'd have to pair this with removing the mics (as shown above) and clipping the speaker leads (or just damaging the diaphragm enough by poking something through the speaker grille).

After that?

Not an audio engy but I image a lot of external amps are built to prevent back-feeding out through the line in.

Worst case use s/pdif, and you'll know that the only thing going through that wire is good ol' one-way pcm-digital audio.

Also its not impossible to find a sound bar that doesn't have smart features yet. Even if it is, they tend to age way better than TV's.

Personally?

My living room has 480i and 1080i tubes at around 26/27inches each.

My bedroom has a dumb 1080p panel.

If I need something prettier I use my higher-res computer monitor (no baked in OS, just firmware for display settings.)

Disable your speakers and run your audio out through an amp/speaker-bar that has no internet connection.

You might not be able to stop Jack Bauer from personally tracking you, but the sort of dragnet surveillance most people are worried about can still, for now, be mitigated with effort.

Gotta be real, as someone who hasn't hosted on github in years...

Why is everyone else taking so long? I can kinda get the people who are still moving off of gitlab to codeberg or their own forgejo instance or something, but github? In 2020-fucking-6?

You don't need a masters in anything to write websites.

JavaScript isn't too bad once you figure out prototype based objects and DOM. Especially now with ES6.

It doesn't matter where they stand on economic policies, healthcare, the environment, Israel, or whatever.

Cool they can do the things that make republicans fascists so long as they're pledging fealty to the democratic party. Got it.

You understand healthcare, the environment, civil rights, and to an extant, the economy, ARE existential issues for most people right?

The reason to vote democrat isn't because they're not the GOP in name, its because they typically have better policy than republicans on such issues. To say they don't matter is disingenuous.

I would have trouble not telling that person to fucking dome themselves.

Like I get its not the right thing to say morally because that person probably has a laundry list of their own problems

I didn't say they should, I said I'd have a hard time not having that be my first gut reaction if I where that VA.

Doesn't mean I think they should. This person needs therapy, and some of their accounts deleted, not suicide.

GOP politicians, corporate execs, basically the entirety of the billionaire class

Shit, I could just say the monsters mentioned in the Epstein files and I think we'd cover most of that and then some.

I do believe all life, especially sentient life, has deep inherit value. There are things people can do however, to lose that value.

Oh yeah for sure, especially now that people are getting called out for doing shitty things constantly, its almost hard not to be suspect of the shit people let out in public these days.

Anyone working to pass the SAVE America act is working to keep the GOP in power.

Like it or not, 6 Democrats just openly said "We'd rather risk more time with Nazi pedophiles than risk the DSA holding any real power.

If you purposely work to empower a fascist, that makes you a fascist.

Those 6 democrats are fascists.
