Jackson soon discovered that Amazon suspended his account because a Black delivery driver who’d come to his house the previous day had reported hearing racist remarks from his video doorbell. In a brief email sent to Jackson at 3 a.m., the company explained how it unilaterally placed all of his linked devices and services on hold as it commenced an internal investigation.
The accusations baffled Jackson. He and his family are Black. When he reviewed the doorbell’s footage, he saw that nobody was home at the time of the delivery. At a loss for what could have prompted the accusation of racism, he suspected the driver had misinterpreted the doorbell’s automated response: “Excuse me, can I help you?”
I didn’t miss that point, I really like LG channels because it introduces me to stuff I wouldn’t normally see. I had a dumb TV up until right before the pandemic and I love the smart TV features but you really sign your life away with their cotracts. I put on live cams or videos of nature while I work directly from the TV while working on my computer. I go offline a lot when I’m working on something that needs to be copyrighted yet, so I couldn’t screencast it unless I got an old computer or something to do that. I think I have unique circumstances and I’m lazy and cheap, tbh.
Oh I see what you mean. Yes, you can use things like Chromecast to use your PC on your TV, but you can also directly connect your PC to your TV via HDMI or DisplayPort (though the first one is a lot more common on TVs). You can keep it offline in that case.
Some PCs and laptops might lack the HDMI port, but it’s pretty common. If you’re using a discrete GPU, you most likely have one. And if you don’t have one, you can get USB dongles for it.
I’ve kind of already signed my life away to LG and it’s 3rd party people but the next time I need a TV, I’ll definitely look at that. I’m saving this on the hopes I won’t need it for a few years. Thanks for explaining it.
