So just have random people go verify locations in person. At that point it’s “public”

Love to know what the “legal” part of the threat is. These items are in public locations. You know, why they say there’s no expectation of privacy for us. It works both ways.

I was reading up on that and how they plan on processing it in the Secure Enclave part of the watch. My only concern though is as you move more stuff into the enclave, the bigger the attack surface for the entire enclave becomes. And then at what point is more working being done in the enclave than the rest of the watch basically becoming a useless demarcation of security.

Sadly it is permanent. Moved into a house that was blurred and wanted it unblurred. Sadly they have no process to do that.

“Accidental” — you are far more trusting than I

It was something I didn’t have a good answer for either. I think ownership is a good criteria but then I was trying to figure out why it was to me. Since it’s passed to an individual, via salary, is it still “my money”?

Amount could have something to do, but it’s possible for a highly paid IC to donate quite a bit.

The one that is cut-and-dry for me is something like Chic-Fil-A. My money is going directly to their foundation, which is used against LGBTQ people, so that’s an immediate hard no.

Thought experiment time…

part of the company’s revenue as wage

How far down the chain does that count for you? If there was a VP, Manager, or Individual Contributor that took their (personal) wages and donated to a cause you didn’t like, would you still pull your money?

Maybe I’m missing something here but how is that not a logical conclusion for any service where you have a unique identifier? If it can get your IP it can get a general idea (CGNAT/VPN can screw with it a bit), if it’s allowed network access it can get nearby APs, which are pretty well mapped at this point, and if you allow it GPS, well that’s a no brainer.

The only question that matters is where the money you spend ends up, and whether you want it to end up there

Serious question to that. How many degrees of separation does that account for? If I spent money at a random company, that does not endorse a far right candidate, but then it pays an employee and that employee then turns around and supports a far right candidate, is it still “my money”?

Does it matter if they’re a front line worker or if they’re a manager or a C-level if it’s not done by the company directly? Do you have to vet out the buying habits of every employee at every company you spend money on?

I think of Chic-Fil-A, which is different because money from sales goes straight to the foundation, which is used against LGBTQ+ people, but if someone were to be paid via paycheck and then spent it at Chic-Fil-A, is it my money anymore?

Hahaha. That’s your own damn fault. Close some tabs, and use bookmarks.

16GB, I have other systems on 8GB that are also fine.

Honestly I’m running Windows 11 Enterprise and I haven’t seen any of the shit people complain about. I have Telemetry turned off via a GPO (something Pro and Home don’t get), I didn’t get copilot shoved down my throat and my updates don’t crash my system

What? No, you can do a tiny reverse proxy/vpn on a stick with something like a RPi. Configure it and give it to them. Then they point their Jellyfin client on their device to the IP of the RPi instance on their network and that creates the tunnel back to your VPN endpoint and server.

And for VPNs at a router level you can inject routes and leave th default route going out through your ISP, you don’t need to, nor want to, have all traffic going through it.

That’s why you do it at your router or gateway and then set a route for the Jellyfin server through the VPN adapter. That way any device on your network will flow through the tunnel to the Jellyfin server including TVs

…and passwords

Um, excuse me? For starters they should only ever have hashes, but there is never a valid reason to ask for that many passwords.

I’m curious when this happened. I literally created a new account for GitHub this week, only using an email address, and on Firefox. No wonky tests or anything needed.

I say a lot of things here that I don’t want tied to my name. However, if confronted with them I would not deny a single thing I’ve said.

Taking that approach I’m fine with where my message goes and I’ve learned from day 1 on the internet (back in the 90s), that anything you say is permanently out there with your knowledge or not.

So it means there’s no reason to require a google account since they’ve shown it hasn’t needed one for 5 years.

It’s like all the RTO mandates. We’ve shown WFH works just fine for 5 years and kept your companies afloat, there’s no reason to pull people back in to the office now.

I mentioned this in another thread but “DP Alt” (DP over USB-C) is not a default feature of the USB spec and is an optional extension that needs to be added via additional hardware and supported by the device. At that point you’re basically adding in DP with just a different port.

To that end, it’s still the same thing that TV manufacturers just aren’t adding in DP support regardless of connector.

I always thought that the municipality should own the last mile. FTTP for every unit, then the ISPs could run their lines to a local POP and just cross-connect to the house, apartment or whatever that wants their services. That way it would reduce the infrastructure that an ISP needs and also increases the available choices for a customer.

Payment for the municipal last mile could either be leveraged via your taxes or a fee that is paid by the ISP (which inevitably would be paid by the customer anyway)
