Way better to abort and try again, than commit and run the risk of something going wrong. What harm is there in doing a go around if you can? They have plenty of fuel to try multiple times, and have clearance to do so if required.

How much would support increase when manufacturers realise how few of their TVs don't get connected to the network?

Even if it did support it, nobody connects their TV to their local network via HDMI, they connect it to their PC. And, as far as I'm aware, no PCs automatically start sharing networking with whichever networks they are connected to.

That could of course change. Could be even a nice feature for connecting your TV to the network via your multi media center, if the bandwidth is good.

LG was caught abusing (although it's hard to argue that it isn't intended behaviour) Windows automatic installation of hardware-related software to install adware. Doesn't take too many tinfoil wraps around one's head to imagine them doing the same to enable network sharing (assuming hardware support is ubiqtuous enough).

Proportion of HN users whose TVs don't connect to the internet? Significant

Proportion of non-HN users whose TVs don't connect to the internet? Negligible

Their solution to that is to either use the cell phone network or services like amazon sidewalk where they connect in through your (or a neighbour's) internet-connected device.

I think it’s also possible to piggyback on other devices signed with the same certificate to exfiltrate using BLE. Maybe I’m wrong though.

Not at all, because it uses the same pins as ARC, so the two features can't operate at the same time, and a lot of people use ARC to get audio from TV apps back to a soundbar or receiver.

HDMI Ethernet is dead, it's never going to happen in consumer televisions because it has a hard conflict with a feature a lot of people actually use.

If people really start not connecting them. TV makers will just start including a cellular modem.

Then you make sure to only use HDMI cables that aren't HEC, in conjunction with not connecting the TV to the internet directly, if you want to keep them isolated.

Not even game consoles, PCs, even Raspberry Pi don't support it. Which is odd, so there are probably reasons why it's not worth the troubles.

Why did you post the exact same comment three hours before this one?

Because India is the only country that cares about cricket?

They're not even the only country in Asia where cricket's big.

I believe GP’s point is India is the place a company would highlight cricket scores above other marketing lines.

Cricket season is just starting up. I could see this ad in Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, or hell, even Australia. India's not special.

Do you have some examples? I love to explore such things.

Wrong term, indeed :)

For Windows, this may not be enough: https://m.majorgeeks.com/content/page/the_truth_about_window...

Indeed, power off and power on sometimes doesn't even reset uptime.

Only men?

Women who dress like Marlene Dietrich are also acceptable, but that's where I draw the line.

More seriously, I should have capitalized the "M" to make clear that it was Men, as in Mankind, but this is the internet in 2026 and most people are only semi-literate. I'm not certain it would have helped.

Especially if someone wants to be offended. You just can't stop them if that was their goal going into it.

Popularity and correctness are unrelated concepts.

The word "Men" was gender neutral long before it became masculine, and Armstrong did not take "one giant leap for peoplekind".

Real-world Prisoner's Dilemma.

Twelve years later, if there's still so much misconception about /dev/(u)random, has the man page been fixed?

Edit: can't count.

Yes. It’s mentioned at https://www.thomas-huehn.com/myths-about-urandom-revisited/

Of course, when searching for man urandom you still found the old versions at the top of the search results for years and years afterwards. And the German Wikipedia page will probably never change.
