“Switch” may be a strong word, as I haven’t completely moved out of Google; slowly migrating. I pay $47.88/ yr for Mail Plus tier. It does what I need and some more perks I hadn’t counted on (VPN). I also use Brave rather than Chrome. I’ve been happy.

I understand the significant challenge every Internet-facing entity has in protecting its data. But there are few things that frustrate me more than when someone who shouldn’t have my sensitive data in the first place loses control of it! 😡 #dataprivacy #privacylaw

I hope the same. But there is a movement to dramatically shave its scope or even dismantle it. I hope it survives. www.politico.com/news/2024/11...

Wait—Spectrum specifically targeted and blacklisted your router intentionally or carelessly? Sheesh!

I have one of these on the way and have been wondering … do you have to go back into the admin panel daily to reauth the router to the hotel’s captive portal daily? Or does it persist? I have some Hilton property stays upcoming and am really excited about this.

I have one of these on the way and am so excited. Have been reading about these off and on for months and finally pulled the trigger. Most excited about the Wireguard connection to my VPN services to protect all of my devices.🙌

There are certainly affected customers nationwide. Officially, Verizon has only said “some customers”. But if it’s not literally all customers nationwide, it seems to be at least most. Although I read one person saying their spouse’s work phone still had service, just not personal phone.🤷♂️

Repeatedly. Yes.

Someone else reported a spouse’s work phone has service but their personal phone does not (both Verizon). This feels like it could be a major, back-end issue with how they register devices on the network. I know nothing; just aggregating rumors. (2/2)

I mean, I’m already using the device exclusively to isolate my IoT. My main router and AP runs my more trusted devices, and the IoT runs on a separate subnet on the guest network on this other AP so they can’t see my stuff. But I’m still inferring some expressed discomfort with use of this device.

It sounds like their intent is to allow for separate wireless protocols to be used on IoT network while permitting devices to communicate. But I’m shocked there is no mention of security and the risks of letting everything freely communicate. Am I missing something?

Yeh, the books are a total mind bender. If this is done well, it’s going to be amazing!

So I was 6 at the time. My brother (10 years older than me) introduced me to Klaatu when I was a kid. I texted him with your link and told him I never knew Carpenters covered it. He of course did know and had heard Carpenters first then later discovered Klaatu. Agree this is a nice version!

Holy cow! Wasn’t that originally done by Klaatu? I’ve never heard this cover before. Nice!

I can totally see that.

Slowly, I think. Finally found my way over and trying to rebuild. Hope it takes root.

Great insights with even better examples for illustration. It’s the exploitation of human trust with disinformation for me! Society is completely unprepared to understand how bad and how widespread it is. Thanks for putting this out there.
