As if giving it all to Comcast and Spectrum for the 47th time will make things any better? Starlink is actually something accessible for a lot of these people, while legacy ISPs just pocket the money and claim its too hard to serve rural customers.

Nah, he's just used more of his money to whitewash his image with articles such as this. When you peek behind the curtain, he's just as ruthless as the others.

Similar to the one I saw in Oregon a few weeks ago. It had fingerprint smudges all over the body. Seems like it'd be a huge pain to keep clean and probably need a sealant or clear wrap over the top.

Reminds me of Russia's failed attempt to demonstrate that Nazis were in Ukraine by releasing photos of a 'bust' that was obviously staged and includes gems like multiple copies of The Sims video game which were supposed to be sim cards.

Seems interesting but it has the stink of "buzzword marketing" all over it. The example given in the article about using it for wake words is just using a microphone connected to the device. Microphones and speakers are both analog devices that all digital phones have already. Also the fact that it's an IC that's programmable leads me to believe it's not analog at all, or else how can it be programmed?

I also thought it was funny to talk about environmental damage from all these digital sensors and then using thermometers filled with mercury as an example of an analog sensor. Mercury is a heavy metal and extremely toxic to most lifeforms, which is why we don't use it in thermometers anymore.

We'll probably see them lobbying to give ISPs additional taxpayer funds to 'expand' broadband access while redefining broadband to be anything above 150Kbps.

Meh this is one instance that just keeps getting reposted every couple days. Pirating executable files has always been a risk and brought with it issues like this. There is little risk with music, tv, and movies.

You can argue its misleading but I disagree. Outsourcing bad behavior to a third party doesn't remove culpability on your part. This is all to common these days and allows both parties to point fingers at each other while nobody faces any responsibility for breaking the law, violating people's rights, and/or unethical behavior.

The FBI just using assumptions and impressions on methodologies used by the company they contracted with is no excuse when they could have asked how the work was going to be performed. Incompetence is no excuse either.

Texans would be so mad at your right now if their power worked and they could get online to read this.

Just ban a random user each week to show you're still active.

You have enough users to make it at least 800 weeks!

Same could be said about the users whining that their misinformation/disinformation is getting blocked on social media.
