He should have said commerical displays, which are basically TV’s rated for long continuous use e.g. digital signage.
I haven’t dealt with them in some time, but I would imagine many, if not most, do not include consumer smart tv features, although they probably have other embedded smart tech to help with stuff like signage.
Russia has banned them, sort of.
Although I don’t think their methods would work here, or rather, I don’t think they could grab the kind of power necessary.
Russia now has regional internet blackouts, were they effectively only allow a small number of white listed sites to be accessible.
So if you you literally cannot reach the VPN servers because only a handful of Russian government websites, preferred businesses, and UK banks (oligarchs gotta oligarch) are whitelisted, well then you banned VPNs, again, sort of.
They did roll out a government approved VPN for specific approved individuals and use cases, to a get around those blackouts…so that’s something.
Do you think this is the first person that this particular detective has tried to railroad because they were too lazy to do any real work?
I would be shocked if every single one of his previous cases weren’t full of half-truths, lies, and just generally sloppy work.
At no point that did I say that the killing of the girls was a strategic move to demoralize the IRGC.
And I remain dumbfounded as to why people keep giving the benefit of the doubt to Trump and Hegseth.
I’m not saying it was a strategic choice, I’m saying I could easily see Pete being a sadist who got off on killing those schoolgirls, who approved the strike package based on that alone, and that’s before you even consider his crusades and killing Muslims fetishes.
In that scenario the fact that they are the children of IRGC members just gives him an excuse to rationalize his choice to pleasure himself with their blood.
Again, I don’t know that’s what happened, but I know it’s just as likely as it being an “oppsie” when the man in charge of the Pentagon is a known abuser of women, in addition to being a drunk moron ultra Zionist Christian nationalist with crusader tattoos.
I genuinely don’t know why you’re giving them the benefit of the doubt.
None of us here knows the truth, and I would posit that it’s just as likely, if not more likely, that that school was targeted intentionally, as it was used for the children of IRGC officers.
The TVs you buy at Costco or Walmart aren’t meant to be run 24/7 365. They never have been.
