Bose is not an advertising company. They have (had?) less incentive to collect my data. Amazon on the other hand peppers the market with tons of low cost shitware devices that have Alexa integrated in for no reason other than to harvest amb

You can politely ask Bose to disable Alexa the same way you can ask Facebook to "delete" your account. They disable the functionality you have access to while still collecting all the data they normally would and having remote acc

Why do the newer versions of these have to have freaking Alexa bundled with them. It's like a giant skid mark on an otherwise premium product. Bose does have the best noise cancelling functionality, but I'm simply never going to b

This whole ordeal has been pretty enlightening. One of the reasons I have failed to jump into something of my own (consulting, start a business, etc.) is because I am constantly thinking about how to survive the worst case scenario, and I c

From what I gather, they're one of the few video conference solutions that "just work", you don't need to install anything if you don't want (works in the browser), and their user pricing is pretty cheap and straigh

My ISP has a cloud access "feature". If I go to 192.168.1.1 it redirects me to their "router.MYISP.net" site. What's the best way to go about disabling this? Should I just dump the rented router for my own?

Wondering if they could have like 950 people in the crowd still and auction off tickets. Would be surreal, but kind of a once in a lifetime experience to be watching an NBA game, at or near courtside with so few people in attendance.

How does working out at a high intensity work when in a state of Ketosis? I lift weights and/or do HIIT 5x per week and occasionally add running on top of that. I've always been weary of going low carb or trying a keto diet becaus

I assume there are people at NASA / SpaceX/ etc. in charge of writing custom MarsDate modules for various languages. Sounds horrible. I'm not even sure we've solved how to deal with dates on earth yet.

He raised everyone’s pay in response to a lawsuit that claimed he was paying himself too much. Also it gives the company less profit so if he has to buy out his partner (as a result of the lawsuit), he can do so for less.

Just add Twitter certified check marks to third party sellers. Have official amazon quality control for those sellers and everyone else is a gamble. If I buy from the Nike seller with the blue check mark, I know I’m getting the real thing.

Honestly, I think until FAANG start doing something else, the vast majority of tech/semi-tech companies will just copy them. A few smaller companies might branch out and try some other stuff, but most people hiring at mid and large siz
