Meanwhile, I attended a security conference last week and right next door was a…medical insurance conference.

Don’t the fake branches interfere with the signal? Or are they negligible?

Which one are you talking about, Veritasium?

That’s the plan for the future. It’s easy to switch to induction for cooking. The bigger and more expensive switch are the A/C and water heater, which I need to assess (and budget) for.

The worst for me is my gas bill. My bill is usually around $50-$60 per month, and when you break it down, the actual gas I use is $3. The rest are fees.

Red Panda.

You can also pay with cash for Mullvad, although I’m not sure if that’s less anonymous than crypto.

Yeah as far as I could tell there wasn’t any smart light (or unknown/untrusted device for that matter) authenticated to my router, so if they saw some random IOT device, they had some type of access. Maybe the smart light was interfering with the 2.4GHz band for some reason. Anyhow, I sold that router after a couple of days of not being able to resolve it with support, and I moved on to an openwrt router.

I never said none of my neighbors had smart lights. I said there was no smart light connected to my router as far as I could see into its interface/settings.

I’ve had a similar experience when I used to have an eero mesh router. My devices kept randomly disconnecting from wifi and their tech support was blaming a smart light somewhere in the vicinity that’s causing it (lived in an apartment at the time). I don’t own a smart light and there was no such device connected to my network.

This can actually still be convenient if you need to be physically at work 5 days a week. No more commuting and waking up early in the morning except on Mondays. If you want to skip Monday traffic, take a quick drive on Sunday to your office so you meet the 24 hour criteria.

Like I said, I’m just providing context on why he was flagged, not justifying what happened to him after the fact.

Wow, an anime character couldn’t even crack the top 10.

Yeah, cheap area will likely be a not-so-desirable place, unless you’re the type who likes to live in the boonies.

While I also do not like what he’s been saying recently, this time he’s actually right. If you read the article, he’s saying Switzerland trying to enact laws that will force VPNs to collect and store user data will be akin to what Russia is doing. And that Proton can’t operate in a country that does that and they will have to move.

So I read the article. It appears he failed to submit a required document for when you marry a US citizen. And the rules state that if you fail to file it, you can be subject to removal. Having said that, the form says you can file an appeal in a written explaination if it was of no fault of your own or due to some extraordinary circumstance that you failed to file that document.

Now with the current administration, I’m not sure if filing that appeal at this stage would do anything. What the case manager said was also true, that if it was the previous administration, he might have been given more leeway to rectify the error.

The article also doesn’t state if he had an immigration attorney guide him through the process, and I suspect he didn’t and he was doing all his immigration paperwork by himself and it was an unfortunate error of not being completely aware of all the steps of a very complicated process.

I’m not trying to argue with you, just providing some context.

Yeah, if its brains were everywhere, it wouldn’t be able to walk to the river let alone on two legs.

I call myself by name, like a parent scolding their child.

Attending a conference today so it’s a nice little break from work. I also did some weed removal on my lawn yesterday so my back hurts a bit.
