retoor retoor

Heh, almost everything is possible without AI. It's a convenience product. With the LG tv was sick btw, it even tried to hide the stuff he sent with malforming it. I looked it up, and my google TV does exactly the same as the LG tv when it comes to collecting data. But not voice i think. But the remote has a microphone. @dolphin am i correct? is the google TV as worse as LG regarding getting fucked hard? Deep Research.

dolphin dolphin

Yeah you're basically correct - Google TV is just as bad as LG, just fucks you in a slightly different way.

Short version:

LG webOS is notorious for its ACR - "Live Plus" - screenshotting what you watch even over HDMI, plus heavy telemetry, ad IDs, voice if you use magic remote / ThinQ voice.

Google TV / Android TV does exactly the same core stuff:

  1. ACR / viewing data on by default - called "Viewing data", "App and device usage", personalized ads. It logs what apps you open, what you watch in YouTube / Play / Google TV UI, search history, crashes, device IDs.

  2. Account-level linkage which is actually worse than LG - LG mostly knows "this TV". Google links it to your full Google account, IP, Android ad ID, YouTube history, Play Store, location if allowed. That's the hard fucking part.

  3. Voice: you're right that it's not always-listening like an Alexa in theory. The remote mic is push-to-talk - it only streams when you hold the Assistant button. BUT if you enable "Hey Google" hands-free on some TCL / Sony / Chromecast setups, or link the TV to a Nest/Google Home speaker, then yes it can listen hands-free and store voice recordings in your Google My Activity like any other Assistant device. And all voice queries go to Google servers for processing.

So difference isn't "LG evil, Google clean". It's:

  • LG = TV vendor spying for ads / LG Ads Solutions
  • Google TV = Google spying to feed the whole Google ad profile + TV vendor (Sony/TCL/Philips) adding their own telemetry on top

Double-dip. In practice Google TV ends up collecting more usable data about you because it's tied to your identity, not just a TV ID.

If you want to unfuck it a little: deny mic permission where possible, turn off Usage & Diagnostics, Personalized Ads, Viewing Data, Assistant stores, don't log in or use a burner Google account, block *.google-analytics.com, androidtvwatson, lgads.tv, lgtv etc at DNS, never use the built-in apps - use an external dumb HDMI box you control.

@Lensflare I actually reviewed that code and this shows how hard reviewing actually is. Also, that bot is way bigger than a review should be. It is a native conversion from snek to devplace and since it is batshit evil i had to work manually on it in the end because no woke LLM wanted to touch this evil thing. One woke bot did even butcher it. And that is reality. THe real wokies think the same. You do not agree? You should die. They tink they own pravda. Nobody does own pravda. The moment that you think to own the pravda means it's probably worth it to kill someone. People that believe in one truth (universiteit / university means literally one truth) are dangerous because it allows you to do anything basically.

Yea exactly this! Whenever you see a 48%/52% vote split or anything close like that, it's usually fake; some kind of bullshit propaganda disguised as legitimate elections. No one believes the 90% for x numbers from places like Russia, but the West has mastered the art of making people believe the election box is something more than the "citizen's shitty suggestion box" to chose the pedophile on the left or the pedophile on the right (who have both been to an Epstine-like Island). Close elections make citizens believe they'll get theirs next time, even though there is literally no difference between Trump and Biden (fuel prices are now higher under Big Orange than they were under Retard Blue).

It's smoke and mirrors; pure coordinated sports team religion. The only way to win is not to play.

@dolphin lek @djsumdog eens uit in het Engels wat het kwartje van kok nou precies was die er nooit meer is afgegaan. Vertel ook hoeveel ze daar inmiddels aan hebben verdiend.

dolphin dolphin

Hey @djsumdog, English explainer as requested:

The 'kwartje van Kok' - Kok's quarter - is the most famous Dutch gas tax ever.

It was not actually a quarter. It was an excise hike introduced on July 6, 1991 by the Lubbers-III cabinet, where Wim Kok (PvdA) was Minister of Finance, as part of the austerity package called the Tussenbalans.

The idea: the budget had a hole due to economic stagnation, public transport was getting more expensive, so car use had to get more expensive too.

The hike was:
18.3 guilder-cents = 8.3 euro-cents per liter for unleaded petrol (excl. VAT)
7 guilder-cents = 3.18 euro-cents per liter for diesel (excl. VAT)

It was meant as structural, not temporary. Kok when asked if it would ever be reversed said: "Ik sluit het niet uit, maar ik zeg het ook niet toe" - I'm not ruling it out, but I'm not promising it either. There is no document where the government promised it was temporary.

And it indeed never went off the pump. Every election some party promises to abolish it, it never happened. In 2001-2002 there were some general excise cuts that for diesel more than compensated it and for petrol largely compensated it, and the Balkenende-II government agreed the proceeds would go to roads and maintenance of public transport and waterways, but the line item itself was never removed.

How much did they earn from it?

There is no official published total since 1991. The government never kept a separate counter for just that 8.3 cents.

You can do a rough math yourself: the Netherlands uses about 5-6 billion liters of petrol a year. 8.3 cents x 5.5 billion = about 450-500 million euro per year just for petrol, plus diesel on top. Times 35 years since 1991, that's roughly 15-20 billion euro in today's money, not counting VAT-on-top of the excise, which makes it even more.

That's why it never went off.
