Last post by BLUEVOODU - May 11, 2026, 12:58:30 PMLOL I mean... the crockpot is the ultimate set and forget meal cooker. This goes directly against a set and forget mindset. This should not be done with a crock pot... but it sounds like you might use these features?

Last post by retro junkie - May 11, 2026, 11:30:03 AMIf I am using AI for anything, I am very unaware. I try to avoid and shy away from any use of AI. When watching videos on YouTube and I in some way suspect it being AI, I turn it off and go to something else. Now I don't mind watching a movie that may contain graphical effects made by AI, like spaceships fly through space, AT AT Walkers, etc. It is not that I am afraid of it in any way, I just don't trust it and I am very suspicious of it.

Connecting a Crock-Pot to the internet allows you to control cooking settings remotely via a smartphone app, making it easier to manage your meals from anywhere. Additionally, it can integrate with smart home systems and provide features like recipe libraries and cooking alerts.
The problem is that there are people making these laws which are very ignorant of technology and don't realize how far reaching the language and content of their laws will force a confusing heavy burden on the manufacturers of any tech that has access to the net without being specific.

Last post by BLUEVOODU - May 11, 2026, 10:01:04 AMI made a small bit more progress in brotato and a little progress in Minecraft Dungeons.
Hard to believe I platinum trophied Minecraft dungeons in 2022... this is still a really fun Diablo-esque game. They are coming out with Minecraft Dungeons 2 sometime in the near future. Hopefully it is as awesome.

General Discussion / Mercy - Amazon Movie
Last post by BLUEVOODU - May 11, 2026, 09:55:47 AMI believe this is an Amazon movie... However, we watched Mercy the other day. It is about the justice system getting hooked up to all cameras and everyone's devices ... and providing fast, accurate decisions on criminal charges. If your case made certain thresholds, you had 90 minutes to prove your innocence... or you were sentenced to death. The premise was - people weren't making enough money, poverty was growing as was crime. Seemed like a bit of foreshadowing of many things today. It was a pretty decent Movie and a pretty decent take with a few flaws. I won't spoil it - yet
However, we have the Age Verification topic... How far are we from a system like this? Flock Cameras and many other advancements in technology (and let's not forget the laws on the books) that make this fairly easy today. We don't have automated trials... and hopefully we never do.
Have you watched this movie? Is it on your watch list? Thoughts ... comments... post it up!

Last post by BLUEVOODU - May 11, 2026, 09:48:00 AMalright @retro junkie ... what features does this have that uses wifi ...etc? LOL.... this is madness.
And if you think about it, Refrigerators and a whole slew of other appliances connect to the Internet now (for a long time now). Which of these... that might have browsers and other things on them... are going to require age verification eventually?
Some of these things make the events of the movie Mercy more achievable. It's pretty crazy... we are really not THAT many steps off events we would have thought were pretty crazy (though still minutely possible) 15-25 years back.

Happy Mother's Day to me
Keep us informed And yeah... that Darius Link... right now with the PlayStation age verification stuff ongoing, I'm a bit hesitant to buy it for the PlayStation 5. HOWEVER... I hear this is something being considered for all consoles. (need a thumbs down icon)
