I bought a hisense tv last year, you can run advtv to cripple its ability to phone home and disable stuff, then install projectivy launcher to bypass all the other bullshit.

Sony also was an option for that.

Who is this for? I get that there is a profit motive for this slop but are consumers actually getting anything out of it at all?

I am a big fan of my xperia 5v. Yes, its not current but its still a great size, great battery, removable storage, ip rated, and has a headphone jack. You can probably get them cheaper now too. I think I paid $500 a year ago for mine when I was shopping it vs the 10vi.

We don't want him here in Houston. How much did this fucking photo-op cost the state?

That picture would be funnier if it was a picture of Frank Beard, their drummer who has no beard.

Cast Iron is the way.

Is Illy that expensive? Its about the same as store brand where I shop. Maybe $2 more?

I agree with the rest. These people seem like more of a pain than they are worth. Charge them an orgy fee of (cost x 2 or 3) or tell them to do it themselves.

What button mod are you using?

Intel has several fabs there too iirc.

Restart your computer and browser, that usually works for me.

I posted this a few months back and it is still anecdotal but in the Houston metroplex I have noticed a significant amount of commercial for lease signs and it seems to be increasing with time. That is concerning because commercial real estate is often built on credit (mortgages) then the tenant's payments go to pay the loans. When occupancy goes down, the ability to pay that loan goes down until its unsustainable and it goes into default.

If you default on you home loan of say $300,000, its your problem and the bank has recourse and gets your asset. When a commercial loan of $5,000,000 defaults and no one was renting it already, the bank gets the asset but it's not "worth" anything other than the building/land and it is harder for the bank to recoup that value.

When that happens en-masse, that's a problem for the bank... Which makes it a problem for the economy, and it becomes a problem for all of us. This has been going on for a while and no one is doing anything about it. The cliff looks to be approaching.
