    I think it could be seen as “separate the art. From the artist”. Okay, yes, the artist is absolutely fucking horrific. But. If the music is alright, then it should be removed, especially if it helps others.

    One example of this from me is Call Of Duty Advanced Warfare. Whilst there is an argument to be made about Spacey, I thoroughly enjoyed the campaign of that game and will replay it every so often. This has happened woth music artists that I thoroughly enjoy. Whilst I can’t name any off the top of my head, I think one or two may have been on the worse side.

    There’s also a case for Elvis Presley, I have heard of bad things that he has done, and those are terrible actions, I do still enjoy his music.

    For a really extreme example, Hitler. His actions and opinions are vile. But he was a talented painter.

    My point being, I feel there is a case in Kendrick’s opinions of R Kelly that whilst he doesn’t support those actions, his views could be, fuck the artist, but don’t fuck the art.




  • I thought. If you change where the products are, or replace the products wkth different products. You can just keep it updated and change it over. But then I thought. Well, if you’re replacing the products, then you’ve got the door open. Then it’s literally no extra effort to just replace a piece of paper.

    Whereas here, you’d actually have to change it from a PC, and make sure you put it all in the right place.




  • The only two I can see that could possibly benefit from this technology are ovens and fridges.

    Ovens: Turn them on 5/10 minutes before getting home to preheat, also useful to make sure it’s turned off if you go out. My mother and I have had plenty of times when we go, “Did I turn it off?”

    Fridge: keeps track of what you do amt don’t have. Of you go out, even with a list, there’s bound to be something you forget. Also could be useful for recipes. Unless it’s basic stuff, I usually always use recipes, my memory is horrendous, having that on a big screen fridge would save the hassle of having to wash your hands, pick up the phone, put the phone down, wash hands again. The recipes could also be generated from what you have. I think, and I could be wrong here, samsung is trying this.

    Anything else seems really dumb though. A washing machine? If you leave it on when you go out, it’ll turn off anyway. It makes even less sense when you consider that you have to manually put things in anyway.
