until the price range becomes below $1000 or so there’s virtually no market. Probably because it's cheaper to fly and literally be somewhere and actually enjoy it rather than exist there for a minute or two and then get bored.

They make it difficult but I've done it for over a decade. They incentivize by offering no data cap if you use their bs router. However, once you learn how much data is collected/sold about you from the router level you won't

Furthermore, it opens the door for malware to “join the party” Or is a placeholder for state-sanctioned backdoors. Clearly too sophisticated to apply Hanlon's Razor.

Firefox is the perfect privacy middle ground between Tor and Chrome for general browsing. Never understood why so many seemingly hate it. Obviously work demands Chrome but I haven't installed Google products on my personal pc for a dec

Given Google's backdoor in Chromium (to ping google servers), I don't trust they would do anything different with their OS. Eventually it'd become a liability for any linux user knowingly or not.

With AI knocking at the door corporations are in a gold rush for data before humanity becomes privy to what it means. AI is legalized intellectual theft and breaks so many laws (privacy, copyright) yet it's a magic box that randomizes

The drug trade is meeting a market demand. Most people I know have participated in it passively as buyers. Boring and trite comparison. I'm assuming you've never taken ibuprofen?

While a nice idea, there's just so much more music made than SaaS products and this will eventually need to turn into a curated list ala spotify/apple music to keep users from drowning in static. I think highlighting a specific

If you had a nice enclosure for these routers you could take a large share of the prosumer market and be a "privacy" version of unifi. As an average home user, I would love something like this (interface and features) but with a n
