There is a line of Crock-pots that connect to wifi and the internet. Will I need to do a facial scan to cook my meal?

Last post by BLUEVOODU - May 06, 2026, 12:59:56 PM@retro junkie - They may have some telemetry data if you opt in... depending on the distribution, you have different places this could be disabled (or if you automate your builds, there are ways to disable... if I correctly remember). If I remember, KDE and Gnome have some of these features as well. So... in reality... there are ways it potentially could be enforced if it ever came to that. I really hope in Linux this is not the case... really defeats the foundations of Linux.
That would be absolutely insane for the OS to control the requirements for logging into a site... IE the detection of a social site and then require the _______ fill in the blank to then use said site. In the video you posted, they mentioned something about going back to the 80s-90s where we didn't have to worry about this crap. Look, I also agree... I don't think this is a good precedent. If this is because of the Roblox issues, look... that needs to be addressed. However, creating a surveillance state is not necessary and ... Look at Flock cameras, and many other things. Yes, Flock cameras may have caught some criminals... it's also recording all law abiding citizens and tracking movements every day. I think this online system is 5% good intentions... the rest is sellable data at best.
I also agree that you won't eventually be able to buy/sell/function without the Internet and being plugged into the system like they are mentioning in the video. These are all things we talked about WAY back in the day with the advent of digital distribution taking off. I was called paranoid by many when I said the social media sites were using their information and data... especially when they're making a ton of money off a free to use service. Look how that has transpired. If people think those sites and many others aren't using your photos behind the scenes, they are crazy. Personally, I think things have trended to worse than predicted.
@Grindspine - yes we do... we really do. I'm not a fan of these trends.

Last post by BLUEVOODU - May 06, 2026, 11:10:33 AMOK... I have a problem. Any time I see R-Type, my immediate reaction is to buy. Buy it now. Shut up and take my Money. R-Type Dimensions III is being released for the Playstation 5 and the Nintendo Switch 2. There's a collectors edition that's pretty expensive but contains pretty awesome extras. I watched the video and the game looks pretty awesome in the R-Type sense of awesome. Prices are below... and I'm a bit surprised! Ps5 version is $10 less than the Nintendo Switch 2 version.

What I understand so far..........
Let's say I wanted to logon to the "Chicken Dinner Gaming Community." My computer's OS with the AI would detect a "Chat, social media, forum" site platform. There would be the requirement for me to do a facial scan. The AI would contact the OS profile somewhere out there. The AI would then determine if it was me according to the ID that they had on file comparing the picture in the ID with my facial scan. If there is a match, I would then be allowed to logon. Right now my ID has me without a beard. I presently have a beard. Not sure if the AI could get a match. This would be the same for Facebook, etc.
