Honestly I want to continue. But I doubt my time and effort now. I hope if in the future I get time, I will do.it.

This channel and the corresponding discussion will no longer be updated. It will remain open until TG wishes to archive it, or any other admins wish to keep it updated. I do not have enough time to devote unfortunately.

Thanks to everyone for being there and engaging.

For me the Audio means more. Almost every android TV I have got, all of them have Audio issues

for me, the connectivity options are quite important; I'm extremely unlikely to buy anything that I could only connect with wireless protocols.

I have found that all the gimmicks and high end features in no way make the Audio stuff better. Even if my file audio is awesome the TV somehow will kill the audio quality and it is irritating. The bass and amplifiers never are in sync.

but I agree, and the thing about trackers is, they are not that hard to follow and secure, but they are hard to eradicate, as with every other language model, cookie is one cunning evil which prays in on every mouth to feed

my thinking on extremism has evolved much over time; briefly, moderates can't properly understand their own position without being aware of extremism, even if they wish nobody held some specific view.

Well, remember they only have their monopoly due to the tracking, so any good step towards respecting human privacy will almost certainly harm their market share; it is an uphill battle.

actually still not doing the right thing (fully). The words are mighty vague and there still is something that seems off about it.

how is that related to them improving disclosure about tracking users?

Trust me, I have and am still trying. The first and last thing people here concerned about should ask: Is this good and easy to operate? No, instead they ask, does it have google available, can I open google with it, can I see google and gloogle this and gololgle that and all

if it helps, my opinion has drunk both Dawkins and Dennet... for a long time I was pretty much anti-extremist, viewed any extremist position as automatically inferior to hedged moderation.

no doubt about it, and I am all for the goodness of it, if I do find something. I may be an extremist, heck, I do trust I am, but reality bites and I have been nothing but more alert and trying to be safe as much as possible

The IP tracking, my data and my details were picked up by a third party site which was using chrome to track people and their bank activities. It took me 15 days to gather all the intel about that company, and their modus operandi. But it was a huge fight I had in, all due to google, chrome and for some weird reason their store

I am not a fan of Google, although this news is interesting precisely because it is one of the rare example of them actually doing something good, rather than only "not evil".

I literally lost a lot of money around 7 years back, and to get it back took me almost a year of perseverance and being persistent, as the financial institution said I was wrong and fing google was right

why are you an extremist?

... if you advocate "stop using chrome", most people ignore you; if you advocate "use separate browser/device for separate purposes", then you might keep part of your audience.

Indeed. The toughest cookie here is to get to take people heed and stop using it. Nobody understands till the time things are free. That is how and why google corrupted lives, uber does and so many other big conglomerates do daily. Again, but who cares till the time things are free, even if at the cost of one's life!!!
