One of my co-workers who teleworks. He's in an apartment where they gate keep internet access with ridiculous fees. It's way cheaper to use his phone, so he does. And since he's in a dense urban area with ample 5G coverage

Almost every cable company has open wifi networks on their customer equipment. Right now I can see three such devices in my wifi. All Apple has to do is contract with Comcast, Cox, etc. and bam - as long as your wifi can see one of those

Oh the irony - they tried to block the content because of my ad blocker but Safari's reader mode still revealed it anyway. Not a high quality article either :/

you can still stream stuff - just use something else and just leverage it as a cheap display. Unless it won't work if not connected to the internet (wouldn't put it past them). I bought my Xbox mainly because it was the best/

Ah yes, the noble bigotry argument. Historically that's never, ever lead to disaster.

Good government are like good spices - a little bit can make a dish amazing, but too much utterly ruins it.

What amazing privilege this person has to complain about how horrible capitalism is.

This is the importance of the state in keeping the populace in a perpetual state of fear with their propagandists in the media. It's what allows garbage legislation like this to proceed in the first place.

Gatekeeping? Nice word to hide your blatant bigotry.

Sounds like it's pretty carless of the city to allow someone to live in an unsafe home with all these violations.

Another, more detailed account link to elsewhere in the comments pointed out that the police were even on the phone with engineers from the car manufacturer - if there was such a magic sequence apparently it didn't work. Yeah! Softwa

I now am an advocate that the driver should be able to reach the fireman's disconnect for the battery from inside the cabin seated in the driving position.

It wasn't just time to make the phone call - it was time to make the call, police respond, get the manufacturer on the phone too, and then 15 minutes in to the response taking the final action.

The emergency brake is probably electronic and it wouldn't shock me if it was locked out if the car was in motion or defeated by some other similarly idiotic assumption. I hope I'm able to be buried in my 20+ year old cars at th

The vast majority of homeless are addicts and wouldn't move into free housing if provided, or mentally ill and should be cared for instead of dumped on the street - and also wouldn't remain in free housing even if provided - becau

The more potential landlords see how the local governments are tilted to screw them, the fewer of them are going to rent out or expand their rental properties. Congrats on turning over all rentals to large, soulless corporations. You think

I have one that was completely unexpected. My mother loves her apple watch - for apple pay! She doesn't have to fish anything out of her purse. She just double squeezes the watch, taps and pays. If five years ago you would have tol

Don't discount credit unions. If you or a family member is or was in the military you can get into Navy Federal which even offers interest on their checking accounts (!!). And more importantly, a serious lack of fees and add-on charg

wow - go read up on oversubscription; you might get a better idea about how networks work. The idea that any provider has 100% back end capacity for the full bandwidth of every node connection is beyond laughable.

Why coerce when you can pay for it? The FBI just paid Twitter to do their dirty work.

Declaring they are installing malware is a pretty bold assertion. Care to back that up with something other than feelings?
