“This is getting ridiculous and I’m about to just toss the whole thing and move back to Google,” one Redditor said of the “full-volume” ads for Alexa+ on their Echo Show.

Oh sweet summer child, Google is NOT going to be any better at this. That will just be changing one corporate evil for another.

    they’ll lobby these techs as unsafe and dangerous and potentially ban their use outright, or require special licenses and degrees.

    They have a strong foundation in the DRM built into HDMI. I suspect this is exactly the real reason it is there.

      F*K the HDMI forum. Those people are the cause I can not run 4k 120Hz TV on HTPC using AMD video kernel drivers on Linux. Because these drivers are open-source and the HDMI folks do not want this support in the open source drivers… FK them hard.
