<p>That was just the vibe.<p>It was mandatory watching by the state education program.  It had product placement and a clear message.<p>I mean, I feel like it would take more education to <i>not</i> see it as propaganda.<p>I didn't like The Magic Schoolbus either though.  Same reason.<p>Oh, and Scholastic everything.</p>

<p>Yes, it happens all the time, especially as the devices age.<p>L1 devices remotely downgrade to become L3 devices.  This has different effects depending on content provided from "totally unavailable" to "lower resolution".<p>It's both DRM and planned-obsolescence in one.<p>The qualifier: <a href="https://developer.android.com/privacy-and-security/security-key-attestation#qualifier" rel="nofollow">https://developer.android.com/privacy-and-security/security-...</a><p>The list: <a href="https://android.googleapis.com/attestation/status" rel="nofollow">https://android.googleapis.com/attestation/status</a><p>The dev docs: <a href="https://github.com/doridori/Android-Security-Reference/blob/master/framework/key_attestation.md">https://github.com/doridori/Android-Security-Reference/blob/...</a><p>I'm not sure if it's confirmed, but it's believed Level 1 video output contains a watermarking scheme that ties the key to the media, so if it's leaked they can disable the key that leaked the content.<p>You can search around and find tons of angry consumers shouting into the void about widevine errors on older consumer devices.</p>

<p>There is 1 provider for ATSC3 DRM (which is already rolling out in major markets):  Google Widevine.<p>There is 1 operating system for ATSC3 DRM: Android.<p>There are several SoCs that can be used for "Level 1 Widevine".<p>When a SoC is compromised and the key is leaked from the TEE, all models of that device with the key are now untrusted for Level 1.<p>I think people should just be aware of the state of play.</p>

<p>> Either side? Tell me which "side" does that sound like?<p>Up until you got to the "Roman" salutes, it sounded like both sides in the US.<p>Or rather, it will sound like whichever side you aren't.  That's the point.<p>But using "Then they came for the Jews" when you're discussing deportation of these particular people is perhaps a new level of absurdity in the discourse.</p>

<p>It's not unreasonable to see the situation as "Then they came for the Jews, and the administration finally deported the people who were coming for the Jews".<p>The president's literal argument for doing it is that the activist groups are coming for all of American life.<p>I'm not a big fan of either side's rhetoric, but clearly the horseshoe has become a ring.</p>

<p>I learned that most diesel cars and trucks are still dependent on electronics for fuel injection and also have a higher minimum-quality of diesel.<p>The prepper nerds seem to advocate for Cummins 12-valve engines from the 1990s or the Toyota 1HZ.<p>There's a whole lot of old diesel LandCruisers out there.  I'm guessing that's the sweet spot for it still being a normal car that mechanics can maintain while still being comfy and looking cool.</p>

<p>I'm also a software engineer and recently got new LG washer and dryer.<p>I have not yet figured out how to manually change the settings, as the buttons don't do anything when you press them.<p>I leave it on "normal" and it seems fine, and surely there is a way to activate those buttons, but I haven't found it.<p>I could probably install the app on my android device and use it to connect them to wifi, where I could presumably configure them.<p>Instead, however, I am looking at electronics-free diesel trucks.</p>
