You gotta remember, ALL of the chips are on this guy, the base hates most of the policy and could barely name any of the cabinet, they’re just there for the figurehead.

Since when in this administration did a discussion being in the early stages stop an announcement?

Homeplug is a defunct standard that had some real limitations, Ethernet over Power is a generic term relates to any standard of network over power lines.

The G.hn powerline standard is a massive improvement (despite being almost as old and is closer to MoCA as it will actually work over coax and other copper wiring, not just power lines) for both performance and stability, but the Homeplug standards have probably ruined the public perception.

G.hn is also a bit weird because the Wikipedia page presents it as how carriers could use, not as a home network option, even though a few home pieces of equipment are available, such as the TP-Link Deco PX50 which uses G.hn for the wifi backhaul.

It fun once or twice but still Monopoly, Hasbro couldn’t commit to the bit so ithe rules are barely altered. If you’re expecting a player is the Asset Manager, who slowly buys all the property and jacks up rent of the whole board, you’re going to be disappointed.

It’s an extreme version of the sunk cost fallacy. His believers are the type of people who think that changing your mind is a sign of weakness. For America to pass this period, a lot of these people will expect a Pact of Forgetting type situation so they don’t have to answer for what they were encouraging.

First of all, the European Data Protection Board have shown they are more than willing to throw their weight around issue large fines and request audits. Second of all, have you actually looked at the types of data data brokers buy and sell? Massive records of IPs, and metrics.

Like above what “amazing treasure trove of personal data” are you giving up by clicking “I Accept”. Search queries of the Plex Free Movie\TV library, watch times of the same free library and whether you click on pre, mid or post roll ads. And who is going to buy and sell this? Ad providers who swear they are providing targeted advertising, but really have quotas and metrics to fill. They will end up showing irrelevant ads anyway, not because of some algorithm, but literally because the advertising industry does not give two shits about click through rates just that ads get shown.

There’s so much bitching in this thread like someone from AdSense or Outbrain has personally murdered a family member, but the truth is, these places are a grift. Annoying, yes, but mostly harmless. Oh and don’t try to pull “oh but governments can use this for surveillance” yes they could but as someone who has held a job a federal level tax office, they do not have the budget for profiling people like this and a corrupt government has cheaper and better options.

I will try my best to respect your opinion and what you think a “right to privacy” means but I have great trouble understanding the paranoia

They legally can’t for European users

Like all companies complying with European data collection laws, they can’t collect your data and have to delete anything they have collected.

It’s surprising how few supporters you get when they aren’t allowed to criticise you in any way

My apologies, The Debutante Trash all blend together in my head 😔

The woman who failed to give a hand job in a musical is going to be so proud when she can no longer vote for some reason.

I guess The White House movie night showed Pearl Harbour, not that Trump would have watched most of it but he heard Japanese enough for it to stick

Remember the man, some November evening, being told the dream he’d spent his whole life believing collapsing just a few streets away, while his dear leader ran around in his underpants demanding a pizza.

KISS KISS KISS KISS KISS KISS

Remember that “Grapes of Wrath” completely backfired as a propaganda piece because Russians were amazed that poor Americans could still afford cars

New York Times gonna blame this when he falls from a building in January

A cursory search for “How does Trump owe this man (who got a Wikipedia page today) money\favours” shows that the law firm he is a partner of international trade at represented Trump at one of his 2020 election fraud cases.

The fall of the Berlin wall can be largely attributed to a boarder guard getting pissed at all his higher ups being at a party celebrating 40 years of the USSR and refusing to return phone calls (amongst hundreds of other improbabilities occurring on the same evening)
