The TCPA deputizes you as a private citizen to enforce it. It’s empowering, so much so I would be amazed if anything like it would be passed these days.

The show currently running inside the sphere is focused on the negative human impact to the environment. So clearly the owners of the sphere are interested in spreading that narrative, if that helps you feel better about their use of resour

You can blame a different megacorp for the desktop.ini files: those are artifacts from windows explorer (I’m assuming you’re using a windows machine with the google drive mounted)

I enjoyed the stair story here quite a bit - I find that I always have a newfound appreciation for the “real” jobs when I find a fine craftsman at work. We had a curved staircase fabricated for our house and it was absolutely fascinating to

What about legal threats from government representatives when they don’t like your speech and attempt to force the social media platforms to reveal your burner identity? Devin Nunes attempted to doxx a “cow” for example: https://

If the DoS prevents the attacked service from “speaking” itself (by exhausting resources) then I would assert the DoS is analogous to assault and not protected speech. Also, intent fits in here. The name itself gives a hint- denial of ser

I would never plug a smart TV into any network, but regardless of that - when you have an individual endpoint like the smart TV (or the Apple TV, Android device, etc), what's the practical advantage of a 2.5Gbit port on that device? Yo

I simply said “thank you for the report but I’m not paying”. The “researcher” responded by spamming the rest of the board and the property manager for the community with hundreds of messages filled with expletives. I didn’t write a blog or

The problem is that they do have real consequences for others. It is a kind of zero sum game where their gains come from the loss of others. I have no sympathy for them. If you want to help them, why not just send them $$?

Another thought on this, coming from someone whose phone number has ended up on some large number of scammer lists, to the point where I would have about 1000 scam calls per month around open enrollment time (think targeting seniors): You a

“But I already washed your window while sitting at the stop light” It’s one thing to go begging, it’s another when they feel entitled to some sort of payout. I never asked for their “services” - and in my limited experience, they lash out a

This has been used for decades by malware and shellcode that needs to be compact and position-independent (loaded at any virtual address). It is clever and as a side effect is that the string is already loaded on the stack, so if your next

Like I said before, two things can be true at the same time. I haven't shifted the goalposts here. You bring up an interesting point: why can't you be just as effective - if not more so - by just doing the things rather than doing
