Like how you turn off your TV, and it will still respond to the remote the next time you press the power button and turn it on. It's literally exactly the same thing. It has a power button, it's Bluetooth controlled (so is my telly and the telly remote) but when in power off, same as you would power off a playstation or computer (but that's a hard press button, not a remote) the headphones or speakers you Bluetooth connect, connect to it. I would assume it's the Bluetooth connectivity, is receptive to everything, but it's just sus because it's Google and it essentially always therefore has its ears open, because everything that connects to it has a microphone. Even its own remote.

Are remakes ever for a new generation? Aren't they just for the original people who liked it, and they hope a new gen will like the new content,, but they never do?

Maybe you can explain to me why my chromecast connects to my speakers and headphones when it's entirely powered off? Because I don't have as positive a view of it as you do. Maybe it's not as nefarious as I'm thinking it is?

Ooooh! And and! Apparently they contain newly discovered flavours of nano plastics too! Exciting stuff, gals!

You would probably drive more carefully with cake, than "the weather is bad", anyway. So probably a better way to advise. Cake and half full fish tanks, because you're too lazy to empty them the whole way...

It doesn have to have exactly the same number of people die. It's a genocide and they're literally trying to kill all of the Palestinians. It's not about matching numbers, it's about the definition.

Contribute to society, or do they really mean optimal funnelling of the profits from your labour up to the rich?

I'm doing a course for cyber security at my local tafe, and thier website only works on Chrome. Go. Figure.

They really just see people as ants in a display, don't they.

Piracy / stealing content is ok for big corps Piracy / stealing content punishable by life in prison for us proletarians

I'm fighting a similar parenting battle myself, currently. I'm a sole parent, tho. So I'm just fighting with myself. I'm trying to set limits for my kids, but I'm just not able to enforce them. I have my grandson living with me in kinship care, and he is extremely high needs, my 15yo is high needs, so my 12 yo gets no attention and has slipped into device addiction, I set limits, very minimal limits, mind you, because I'm trying to weeny her down, she still sneaks around them, then I take them away entirely. I took them away for a month, after warning her about 10 times that I would if I caught her again. She was absolutely fine after a week. Maybe make your partner a bet, lol. Is your partner the one at home with them mostly? Or do you both work long hours?

Like a cult.
