  Oh, I assumed they edited the manifest to enable the flags. Nvm then.

  TIL that ResHacking a manifest is “sophisticated” lol

  I remember people on IRC doing something similar to Cloudflare years back. Using a malformed HTTP header to get a servers’ real host IPs. It didn’t give you admin panel access or anything like this does, but you could deanonymize sites.

  And to sit on this for 6 years?! I don’t even know what to say about that…

  There’s your problem. All that grass makes for a terrible child sacrifice during their pedo parties. The blood soaks right in and you never get a chance to collect it for the Sangria mix.

  Because they don’t need one. They just send a polite email asking for everything on Person X and they get an email back with EVERYTHING that person’s ever done on any of Google’s services.

  Problem solved. No Backdoor or Warrant needed.

  I’m aware of the Penrose diagram and I also watch PBS SpaceTime :)

  But I was referring more to the frame of reference of our universe vs that of being inside a blackhole (assuming you could magically avoid being ripped apart by gravity). To an observer inside a blackhole, “time” on the outside would blink by almost instantly. Hence the Asterisk on basically*.

  I was leading them to what MotoAsh posted. But they beat me to it while I was typing.

  Yes, but if you’re beyond the event horizon time becomes basically* irrelevant. You could literally turn around, look back out towards the rest of he universe, and watch all of time play out in the blink of an eye.

  You know that scene in Interstellar where they land on the planet for 5 minutes, but 20 years passes for everyone else due to the planet’s mass? It’s the same thing, but a billion-billion-billion times more severe.

  Hopefully this will work with Google TV too since it’s essentially just an Android TV rebrand for Chromecast. Some of them have decent hardware though, but are held back by the all of the Google bloat. Even using apps that allow adb on Google TVs you can’t fully remove it all without soft-bricking the TV.

  I’ve tried setting Kodi up on a few TVs that I’ve fixed, then put them on a VLAN so they couldn’t go online, but could still access my NAS. And even with some having hardware support for AV1, anything over 4-5Mbps or so would cause them to drop frames and lag out. The HEVC support was a little better and will usually do 10-20Mbps+ before running into issues, which is plenty for most YarTube content. So I did a little more digging and noticed that the CPU was sitting at a constant 30%+ usage just doing background bloatware bullshit. So if we had a better UI option, it would open up a lot of cheaper $200-300 4K Google TVs that can stream from a NAS or Jellyfin/Plex server without needing to transcode. Since they have hardware support for basically everything.
