  • as well as deepfakes seeking to meddle with elections or damage any individuals' or corporations' reputations.

    Everything before this doesn't matter. This is the onlyreason for that law - they want to criminalize any sort of satire. Who exactly will be determining the line between a deepfake and a caricature?

    Are Inovelli switches a good fit for old house with no neutral wire?

    I'm considering Inovelli Blue 2-1 switches for a new (to me) house. I'm pretty sure the electrical wiring in that place predates the American Civil War, so no neutral wires, and no plans to rip out the walls to rectify that. Would I be able to use the light switches for basic on/off/dimmer functions and have them in Home Assistant via the SONOFF Zigbee 3.0 Plus-E dongle?

    I have HA up and running in my current place, but have way too many cloud enabled hubs (TP-Link Kasa, IKEA Tradfre, Lutron Caseta, just to name a few) that I want to replace with a fully self-hosted solution. Already bought and configured the Sonoff ZigBee dongle in anticipation. The only other hitch is that the gangboxes may be too small to fit larger switches and I may need to hire an electrician to replace around 20 of them.

    Also it seems that Inovelli Aux switches for the multi-way setups are sold out everywhere. From what I understand, those are simply dumb switches with some extra bells and whistles. What alter

    Smart Tube Next, ReVanced, or something similar on Roku?

    I recently got clued into the fact that you can enable side-loading on Roku devices. However, I have no idea where to get the apps for it. Since Rokus don't run Android, I can't install APKs like I did on my Nvidia Shield TV. Could someone please point me in the right direction?

    The smart(shit)ification of TVs pisses me off.

    I absolutely hate "smart" TVs! You can't even buy a quality "dumb" panel anymore. I can't convince the rest of my family and friends that the only things those smarts bring are built-in obsolescence, ads, and privacy issues.

    I make it a point to NEVER connect my new 2022 LG C2 to the Internet, as any possible improvements from firmware updates will be overshadowed by garbage like ads in the UI, removal of existing features (warning: reddit link), privacy violations, possible attack vectors, non-existent security, and constant data breaches of the manufacturers

    Feature Request: Remember collapsed state of replies inside posts.

    Currently, as I'm reading through a post and collapsing some replies, if I reply to one of them the app expands all of the previously collapsed ones. Same thing if I go back to the feed and then return to the post.

    Refreshing the post functions normally though and keeps the collapsed state of replies.

    I go to Settings, check the "Set up 2-factor authentication" box, click Save, reload the page, but clicking on "2FA installation link" does nothing. I tried copying the "secret" value from the link and using it to manually add an account in my 2FA app (Authy) but that doesn't seem to work. The account gets added, but the codes it generates don't seem to work for logging in (using a different browser).

    I really don't want to lock myself out. Am I doing something wrong, or is this a known issue?

    What was the most surprising cameo in a movie or TV show?

    For me it was Ezra Miller showing up in The Flash TV show a few years ago during their big "multiverse" crossover event.

    On the big screen, gotta give it to the recent Flash movie. The poorly CGI'd Nic Cage was such a great fan service. Also I managed to square myself from all the media past premier, that G.C. showing up at the end was a pleasant surprise.

    Hugh Jackman in X-Men First Class wasn't totally unexpected, but it was worth a good chuckle.

    Searching for a game similar to Rumbleverse

    Rumbleverse used to be my 10 year old's favorite game on Xbox. In the short time he played it he's gotten quite good at it, and got a lot of solo victories. He was so heartbroken early this year when they announced the game would be shutting down.

    I've been searching for something similar ever since. Basically a mostly melee battle royale. We found Knockout City... only for it to shut down this month too.

    I haven't been able to find another replacement yet. Could use some suggestions.
