When I was in grade school (in the 90s) we didn't have any police officers at the school unless something happened requiring a police response like a bomb threat. We didn't have metal detectors or any of the security theater that they use to brainwash children into being compliant with prison-like conditions.

Guess what? Nobody got shot or murdered in any way, and the only violence we ever dealt with was an occasional fight between students. But this was during the height of violent crime in the USA.

More sneaky spyware bullshit causing problems as a side effect of its primary nefariousness

Benn Jordan did a video on that, he was able to add patterns of stuff to make plates unreadable by ALPR systems. He didn't share the pattern for people to use as it may be illegal, but you can see it in the video

VR is definitely better than widescreen wrap-around monitors for gaming immersion. I've tried both and they are both great but VR is better. I noticed that I could drive significantly better in Assetto Corsa the first time I tried in VR mode, and I could actually get close to winning for a change. But it was a PITA to get working

Illustrating the power of the press. Attention and awareness makes evildoers less bold at least usually

Another chapter in American Idiocracy. AI communism is the perfect stupid boogeyman to get the morons in government riled up

Razer mice have some crapware that auto-installs on Windows now, through windows update. Their official driver that it downloads adds the crap and Microsoft just lets it do it all.

No such hassles on Linux though.

Not impossible, several options are still out there if you actually search for "non smart TV" on retailers' websites.

Sceptre was one brand that made decent non-smart TVs but they seem to be vanishing off the market now. Many used ones still on ebay and other secondhand markets. Their website still shows a bunch of TV models but the retail links turn up empty.

About 40% of Mississippi voters voted for Kamala Harris. Additionally, about 38% of the state's residents are black.
