Will they work in 30 years?

I can’t imagine why not. EV’s are generally more reliable than gas/diesel vehicles, and Tesla makes the most reliable EV’s.

Out of curiosity, do these “smart” TV features even matter if you’re just switching to one of the HDMI inputs? I’ve used an external device to drive my TV for years, and I honestly have no idea what is installed on the TV itself.

They don’t. My Hisense doesn’t nag me at all. I just use my Apple TV and 4k player and PS5 without issue. It’s not nearly as hard as all the comments here have made it out to be.

Similarly, my Hisense TV never gets a chance to show the VIDAA interface. It just displays the HDMI input and I switch that between Kodi running on a Raspberry Pi and a VirginMedia TV box.

Maybe it’s more of a factor for people who watch over the air broadcasts or use cable TV. I haven’t used either in years.

They will probably find an open (or semi-open, like the comcast ones) to connect to.

ACR also notes what you're watching even on HDMI and will upload it if given a chance.

Bigger the vault, the more room there is to lock your enemies inside.

I don't disagree with you. Obviously a doctor can bring in a lot of money. In the same a stock can be valued as the sum all future cash flows w/ a discounted cash flow analysis, a doctor's future income can have a quite high valuation.

That being said, one accident or illness that strips away that doctor's ability to earn, leaving them in a soul crushing amount of debt that can't be discharged via bankruptcy. Their debt obligations are real.

I once got scolded for using vulgar language when I called saving a record "shoving it in the database."

I used to work as a QA Engineer @ Transmeta testing software om out CPUs to ensure x86 compatibility. My manager this operated like this. She would constantly look for old software to acquire. One of her favorite activities was dumpster diving outside of startups that had failed to pick up old copies of software on CDs and floppy disks. I remember testing a lot of Diablo 2, Tomb Raider of various versions, Star Wars Episode I Racer, and Risk (for Windows 3.0).

After completing a Hardcore Hell Sorceress run, I’m happy to report our CPUs are fully compatible with this software.

I found a bug where our system would freeze after playing Tomb Raider 2 on a certain CPU/chipset combo. If I remember correctly, it turned out to be a unacceptable voltage drop somewhere in the south bridge.

“You know I may need to double check. Clear my schedule for another week.”

I both love this story and am worried it’s basically a tale of how someone’s parents sold them on Santa being real. It stinks of a con where she was just day drinking somewhere near an Egghead.

After having traveled the world, hearing "only $5" reminds me of how how far that goes in some places. Right now I have a friend in Nepal renting a 2 bedroom house for $58/month. I have another friend in Nepal that's earns less than $100/month, and is able to afford they're own place to live alone.

So, you'd get 1/11 of a renting a house in Nepal, so?

A single Starbucks coffee in the US is more than $5.

I hate to tell you this, but that bridge displayed makes me believe that any starship designed on your site will prone to rocks flying and terminals igniting whenever the shields take a pounding.

A couple years ago in Nepal, a large group of monkeys passed by a window next to my table at a restaurant. They were casually strolling on the power lines.
