I didn't connect my thermostat. Last thing I want is the power company controlling it.

I have tried to install the printer manually using the IP but no bueno there either. I think that's a bad piece of oversight on Mickeysquash's part.

Well no need to connect as I can operate my appliances manually.

Not just, but why? Surely this guy can afford to rent the guy an apartment or room somewhere, right? Is this a very nice furnished basement?

Reason for the lawsuit:
BMG’s lawyer alleges that “My Poops” infringes on Black Eyed Peas’ surprise 2005 hit single, “My Humps,” 75% of whose publishing rights belongs to BMG thanks to a corporate acquisition.
The suit claims — and a review of each song’s Genius annotation confirms — that the two compositions bear a strong resemblance.
“First, the title of the infringing work is ‘My Poops,’ which is an obvious play on the name of the copyrighted composition, ‘My Humps,'” wrote BMG’s lawyer, Seth L. Berman, of Abrams Fensterman LLP.
Berman goes on to list other similarities, including the melody, countermelody, lyrics, chord progression and the use of a lead singer who “uses a similar delivery and vocal inflections as used by Fergie on the original sound recording.”

That commercial has been around for at least two years, and went viral ages ago. How is it they're only getting around to suing now?

I have my stove on wifi because the app will show me if I left a burner on. For some reason I’m very OCD about that so it gives me peace of mind.

What kind of egg?

There is often times little to no utility for me in connecting a smart device. The company wants me to connect the smart device so they can take my data. There for, there is no incentive for me to connect them and in fact a disincentive exists.

Yeah, when we bought our house, it came with new appliances, all wifi enabled.Didn't set any of them up.
There's no reason or value to send data to Samsung about our laundry habits or groceries.
The only thing I have connected is my backdoor/garage camera. Oh, and the computers.

Have you ever microwaved an egg? If you know, you know.

Yep..."tweedle deedle deedle, I'm done." (My sister in law hates the tune it plays, so I turned the volume up.) I don't leave large appliances running when I'm not at home bc shit can happen.

I wish. I can print but the last firmware upgrade broke the scanning function. And it's WiFi only.
AND our newest laptop upgraded to Win 11 and it now can't find WiFi Direct printers.

How in the fuck was his son staying in the basement? That sounds insane to me.

And no real consequence will come of it. All of these stories about politicians misbehaving and nothing ever happens. Oh they were censured? Oh my did that result in a fine or some greater consequence? Nope, they just said you bad boy/girl don't do THAT again!

Reply to comment by Nightshade238 in Ted Sarandos says that Netflix has “never canceled a successful show” by avery5712
Welcome to todays entertainment world - it’s either a wild viral sensation or it ain’t worth shit. The creative industry these days only cares about the BIGGEST moneymakers, nothing can be “steadily chugging along”
It’s really frustrating because that means everything is going to be forced to fall into the “winning formula” in order for any meaningful distributor to pay attention and promote it making entertainment monotonous and boring

It's got no document origination software on it apart from Notepad and Wordpad. I have actually created a doc on it before I remembered I couldn't print from it, and had to email it so I could print it from my phone.
My ancient (7+ years) Toshiba laptop, which cannot downgrade to Win11, has its own issue with the printer since the firmware update. It may be related to shifting IP addresses. If it has been a while since I printed from it, I have to uninstall and reinstall the printer before the computer can connect to it.
Huh, I wonder if there's a Samsung printer app for laptops, since my Android phone prints perfectly using that. And it's not even a Samsung phone.
