you are by definition a power user. if your product is for power users that’s fine. if your product is targeted to everyone but only power users can figure it out when there is an issue... well you have a problem. also, being able to figure

no. there is a big difference between having support and having someone that is passionate about something helping you out. support should be there and should be available from the simplest issues to the most complicated things about A PRO

2 things: of course if there is a subpoena they will need to turn over the footage + ring supposedly has e2e encryption where they would actually have to get the footage from you. i have a ring camera and: 1) I did not let their app use gps

jfc. comparing yourself to CA? really? compare yourself with places that managed covid properly (even within the US) also, you point at Iceland. Do you understand that the people there don’t have the generic diversity you normally have in o

this was never about bean counting. it was about power. if you can put the drones in an open space while you have your own luxurious office that’s power. if you can force the drones back in office so that you can watch them and create syner

wow. just wow. so crypto is to blame? let me ask you this? after to get your bitcoins or whatever you are getting with this ransomware, what exactly do you do with them? what do you do with all those bitcoins? also, your argument is that a

i disagree. having a set of rules and a domain expert that defines those rules is key. automation around enforcement and designing the system to make it as less painful as possible are also key. you cannot just say: oh this is so complicate

a checklist is not where it begins, but it is where it starts. if you don’t have it you probably don’t know what you’re doing

now assume you’re a racist pos that is also by chance enforcing the law. also assume that you’re allegedly going to use this as a pretext to investigate people that even though don’t appear on the footage sort of look like the persons in th

there are standards and operating procedures that can be used. it’s not that hard. it comes down to training and cost cutting. If the penalty for failing miserably is 0 you won’t see any change. I would hold the companies responsible for th

did you read the article? also, if you are part of a minority that is frequently misidentified by this “tech” and you end up being harassed by this pos tech, do you still want it used?

really? crypto is to blame? not the weak security and culture of passing the buck? do you know what is the currency involved in most number of crimes in the world? i’ll let you guess.

lol. you have the board (which is a bunch of volunteers with a lot of time on their hands) and you usually have a management company that implements all the batshit insane rules the “volunteers” make up. Now I ask you: how much would you pa

there is cost and there is “cost”. most money go into labor and actually getting someone to get out there. they need to be bonded and insured. they also need to get the job done. it’s a hassle

not a fan of fighting back, but you need to fight back against these type of people. i would report suspicious activity both to the HOA board and the police. let’s see how they handle this.

you’d be surprised. these people exist and are a PITA

depends on the HOA. 20$/month is enough to paint the community sign and maybe look at egregious violations of the rules, but not much more. this article talks more about 500$/month HOAs with free spirits that optimize everything

at what point do you call it a bad experience and just walk away?

by rantwasp 5y ago
so, at what point is legitimate to involve the Credit Card company? you don’t even need to actually do it, tell cs you will do it unless it gets here in x days. issue a chargeback and move on.

i think you misunderstood what i was saying. I was pointing out that the echo talks to the alexa backend. so it’s evil device impersonator -> your device -> isp -> alexa backend

i’m not advocating for it. i think it’s terrible. i’m just pointing out that maybe we are misrepresenting what this is. also, as far as illegal traffic and stuff: if the traffic goes through the amazon device, wouldn’t the isp see traffic t

not to defend Amazon or anything, but are we sure this is actually sharing your internet connection? the way i understand it is that this would be strictly Amazon devices and strictly for control traffic (ie reboot/configure your devic

i don’t think it’s about how likely the “life” is. More about how abundant carbon is when compared to silicon.
