Seriously man, it’s a good price, and I have a plan setup with Affirm for payments, you can spread it out over at least a year.

“You better hope I can’t get no bullets on layaway…”

Thank you for the syntax, I didn’t know that. Wish that stuff was in a help box in text entry field or something so it would be quickly accessible so we could all learn it faster.

u/logos asked the same thing, I answered in the thread.

If you’re asking in earnest, the last decade has shown for profit corps know no bounds in using technology to extract, poorly protect, and often aggregate and then will make any attempt to monetize possible–often retroactively. While a dishwasher might not have much data in itself to exploit, if your internet connected TV, Car or phone which is constantly scanning for nearby WI-FI items or networks decided to start cataloguing them…well then that would just be a Tuesday for Google, Ford or Sony right?

The more data points, the worse. More breaches, more creepy facts about us floating around in some creepy company or regime’s stockpile of data to be used, unilaterally against me. Or maybe the next company to buy the current company I’m happy with. Or the next regime that decides people like me aren’t full humans. Between your computer and phone, most people’s lives are somewhat laid bare, but add in car tracking which auto companies have stuck their funnel into during the last 5 years, add in appliances, put Wi-Fi if your shower handle…again the people adding Wi-Fi to things like a dishwasher that don’t need it have only one thing to gain, monetizing your data and selling it to someone who wants to control you in some way.

Thank you, the FCC filing is a good idea, if you find something useful that would be great.

Guys who are here hate this one trick!

When your business model is Ursula.

Rest easy, in the US, because of the QOL disparities, current tables aren’t publicizing how much less time poor people get once they “retire”, which now includes working for the most part and collecting social security disadvantageously early. It’s 4-6 years less life for the poor’s collecting SS at lower rates–so you won’t need a full 11 minutes of funds, probably 8 or 9.

Max is the name of the cat, duh.

I have a 2012 Vizio TV with a Chromecast. I have it hooked to WiFi so that I can cast to it. Is it able to connect to the Internet through the Chromecast?

What was the story on that? I remember reading but can’t recall, just anyone could provide a new email if “locked out” with no verification or something essentially invalidating all security setup to that point? Wasnt that fixed?

Your cousin Vinnie, with his 582 credit score, 9-year-old Dell Inspiron desktop, VPN through a swamp in AL is about to become the most valuable internet shopping profile in the family.

Whatever you’re doing now, you should be paid a lot in marketing, data analysis or sales consultancy. You’re an artist who mastered multiple crafts and the real value is the street sense and willingness to go with your gut when the data thins out. Thanks for sharing.

In short, consultancies.

There are many good ones, and many rip off artists who spend as much time disguising their horseshit as they would just doing real work. At a certain point, consultancies started hiring less and less experienced people who had to sell more and more bullshit.

Acronyms and abbreviations are psychologically powerful; they imply something is commonplace or important to the point of it not needing to be spelled out. When you suddenly coin a random one you can pretend you know something the listener doesn’t-- you’re right back to the emperor’s new clothes–most people are too scared to ask. Any industry, same shit.
