  • When turning off my Samsung TV, every once in a while it decides to turn itself back on about 5 minutes later. This has been going on for several years now.

    It doesn’t happen every time, and seems to happen randomly as I can’t replicate the conditions in which it happens. It didn’t happen when I bought the TV, so I suspect it started after Samsung pushed a firmware update. It’s a bug others are experiencing with the same model TV and I’ve tried every fix people suggested online, factory reset the TV, and updated the firmware. My conclusion is that it’s a bug that Samsung needs to fix, but I’m confident they won’t given the TV is about 5 years old now.








  • Sure, people should not use their work computer for personal use.

    However, I would say the majority of people absolutely do use it for occasional personal use. Checking your personal email at work? Googling driving directions to the dentist? Using the pdf editor to fill out a form? Searching for a flight during your lunch break? I would say everyone I see at work does this, and I would bet that when they take their laptop home they would not hesitate to boot it up for personal use. And the people working remotely I would wager use it even more.

    I’m not saying it’s right, but I do think using a completely separate SSD and OS is way more responsible from a security perspective.
