  • You’d have to pair this with removing the mics (as shown above) and clipping the speaker leads (or just damaging the diaphragm enough by poking something through the speaker grille).

    After that?

    Not an audio engy but I image a lot of external amps are built to prevent back-feeding out through the line in.

    Worst case use s/pdif, and you’ll know that the only thing going through that wire is good ol’ one-way pcm-digital audio.

    Also its not impossible to find a sound bar that doesn’t have smart features yet. Even if it is, they tend to age way better than TV’s.

    Personally?

    My living room has 480i and 1080i tubes at around 26/27inches each.

    My bedroom has a dumb 1080p panel.

    If I need something prettier I use my higher-res computer monitor (no baked in OS, just firmware for display settings.)




  • It doesn’t matter where they stand on economic policies, healthcare, the environment, Israel, or whatever.

    Cool they can do the things that make republicans fascists so long as they’re pledging fealty to the democratic party. Got it.

    You understand healthcare, the environment, civil rights, and to an extant, the economy, ARE existential issues for most people right?

    The reason to vote democrat isn’t because they’re not the GOP in name, its because they typically have better policy than republicans on such issues. To say they don’t matter is disingenuous.










  • The vast majority of shootings aren’t related to schools, and could be solved by the following measures to make society less hostile, pushing less people to violence:

    • UBI
    • Free Healthcare
    • Free College
    • End war on drugs

    These two would help cut-down on domestic abuse and kids finding guns:

    • Red Flag Laws
    • Safe lockup laws

    Furthermore, most school shooters are dudes under 30 buying way more guns than they can afford via credit card knowing they won’t have to pay the debt. So don’t allow people under 30 to buy rifles with credit cards.

    Assault rifle bans make no sense. Most states with bans consider a standard AR-15 build to be an assault rifle but not a mini-14.

    They both shoot the same bullets, just as fast, with the same magazine capacities available. But one looks like an old hunting rifle, while the other looks modern and scary.

    The things that make a gun considered an assault rifle have nothing to do with how powerful it is, and more to do with how easily you can clean and repair it, or how nice the ergonomics are.

    Its literally a giant waste of political clout designed to piss off the right people.
