kindenough

Maybe a factory reset (hopefully) will bring back the original firmware.

I never enable the smart part. You want the smart part on a TV you are going to enable telemetry even if hou declined privacy agreements. I don't trust any TV manufacturer, for sure not LG.

I use a seperate setupbox (Shields) that I can control with a pihole. So all my other input sources like my gaming PC’s, or the ones I use for tax and insurance do not get monitored by content recognition from the tv or Google. My LG oled's work fine without updates.

It will be easy to detect if a TV is trying to connect to an open network even if you disabled the networking part. Network sniffers… I would throw out that TV in a heartbeat. Mostly hardware that can't connect to an ip start requesting connection at a frequent rate, like my Nanoleafs blocked by pihole. Very desperate….They are top of the blocked ip's.

Went in Januari 2024 for a few days. Beautiful place with a lot of history…also went to the Gallo Roman museum there…

You walk through a timeline from the earliest Neanderthal settlements to the Medieval time period. Many interesting Roman artifacts from the region exhibited + a nfc audio guide explaining the history and development of the region. Didn't take long but was interesting. Recommended.

And the gaslighting…

My kid chomping candy…”Son where did you get that from?”, “I found it”, “where?”, “duh in my mouth?”. Little fokker.

Ahrend 220. Got 2 of them. Got them second hand, only had to fix some squeeking parts with some WD-40.

They are still sold refurbished because they are really well made, EU norm certification for working safe. They started making them in 1994, and have been in production for 20 years.

Let me open this bag of lutefisk crisps for you baby.

Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher has hit out at the City of Edinburgh Council after the band's fans were described as "rowdy", "intoxicated" and "middle-aged men" who "take up more room" in a safety briefing.

Sounds like the average British tourist in Amsterdam.

Thank you Matte.

From friends and a part family and were I am from...Amsterdam. Mostly family...

My sisters are married to Egyptian, Suriname and Moroccan SO's.

And then. My SO is Sefardic, I am supposed to be catholic...we all get together fine. I have ex-girlfriends from Poland, Ukraine and other parts of the world with good food, learned some love, language and recipes.

Good food is an important thing in my life, I have grown up skinny and underfed on a (fad in those days) macrobiotic diet.

I think the thing is to learn the basic cooking techniques, respect different cultures, eat at good homes and restaurants, write down the serious effort meals you cook, you'll be sorry when you forget and you or your guests loved it, and have a bit of that Spongebob imagination when combining your menu.

Haiyaaaaah....

Sorry children.

Thank you kindly for your comment, It was good eats.

My friend mentioned she loved to eat it with just sugar or honey. Told me some anecdotes how her aunts used to make m'semmen. I see her aunts once or twice a year and they are lovely, full of humor and sarcasm.

I got goat meat in last week, hard to get here...making Caribbean goat curry masala and dahl roti next weekend. Dahl roti takes me the whole afternoon to make.
