This reminds of Sharp and Hisense but I really hope Sony keeps making more high-end TVs. Also, I'm glad Panasonic is back the in US for TVs.


I think the Unknown category could be custom standalone devices like Playstation, FireTV, webOS, and Switch which have browsers to make those stats but could be BSD based. And, I wouldn't exclude ChromeOS also, I thought it's built off of Gentoo Linux.


Roman from RCR explained it here of how the president is able to: https://youtu.be/RLiRNzZSUaU?&t=1707

I thought the whole video is good watch too.



I wonder what happens to their Kasa brand of smart devices then. I have bunch of wall switches and smart power plugs with them.


I have two Kasa light strips (KL400) and anecdotally I’ve noticed that its performance degrades every other day or so to the point where it stops responding to change commands.

The fix? Blocking all inbound and outbound WAN (internet) traffic to it. Now works flawlessly, just like you think a light strip would. I only ever want to issue commands locally anyway, and why it should be talking to the broader internet in that case is beyond me.



I never used Notion before but looks pretty interesting. But, I use Navicat and DBeaver for viewing and editing my Postgres tables.

There's free version now for Navicat I noticed yesterday. https://dbeaver.io/download/ https://navicat.com/en/download/navicat-premium-lite



I'm curious, in London did they cut the fares for subways when they implemented the tolls?

The one thing that has been bothering me about NYC congestion toll is I figured there was be a cut in the fares for subways and rail to entice more riders. But I don't see that mentioned; just for capital projects it seems.


It's a long time ago, but I think the main benefit from the congestion charge money in London was improving the service. More buses, especially at night, which helped the poorest people (cleaners, security, etc).


Yeah I don't remember them dropping the fares although it was a while ago.


My understanding is that OMNY's weekly fare cap[1] was created for exactly this reason (along with incentivizing people to switch from MetroCard to OMNY).

That being said, NYCT's fare ($2.90 without zones or times) is markedly cheaper than even the cheaper London Underground off-peak same-zone fare. I don't particularly want to pay more for the subway, but the fare also really hasn't kept up with inflation.
