One of the things I found incredible in Japan is nearly ever temple has a sign outside describing just how may times its burned down

Ah but you forget, destroying this relationship for the sake of the end to this stupid conflict with many innocent deaths could give Trump a photo op, and what wouldn’t he do for a photo op and a week of bragging on Truth Social?

Really? He wasn’t more proud of that time he lumbered through Greenland wilderness yelling “MY BOSS WANTS TO BUY THIS PLACE” in his best trust fund voice? He’s got to say “MY BOSS IS VERY IMPORTANT AND IF HE DOESN’T LIKE YOU, YOU’LL BE SO SORRY” to so many heads of state. But I guess he got on TV that time so he can watch it over and over again.

Homeplug is a defunct standard that had some real limitations, Ethernet over Power is a generic term relates to any standard of network over power lines.

The G.hn powerline standard is a massive improvement (despite being almost as old and is closer to MoCA as it will actually work over coax and other copper wiring, not just power lines) for both performance and stability, but the Homeplug standards have probably ruined the public perception.

G.hn is also a bit weird because the Wikipedia page presents it as how carriers could use, not as a home network option, even though a few home pieces of equipment are available, such as the TP-Link Deco PX50 which uses G.hn for the wifi backhaul.

To be fair, Maomao’s reviews and suggestions for improvement are so cutting that Jinshi also spends most of his nights awake and petrified.

A lot of news articles are covering both parts of this (they are mostly unrelated stories), but only Rolling Stone was brave enough to put both parts in the one headline

YES WE HEARD YOU, YOU ARE SCOTT MALKINSON BARBIE AND YOU HAVE DIABETES

First of all, the European Data Protection Board have shown they are more than willing to throw their weight around issue large fines and request audits. Second of all, have you actually looked at the types of data data brokers buy and sell? Massive records of IPs, and metrics.

Like above what “amazing treasure trove of personal data” are you giving up by clicking “I Accept”. Search queries of the Plex Free Movie\TV library, watch times of the same free library and whether you click on pre, mid or post roll ads. And who is going to buy and sell this? Ad providers who swear they are providing targeted advertising, but really have quotas and metrics to fill. They will end up showing irrelevant ads anyway, not because of some algorithm, but literally because the advertising industry does not give two shits about click through rates just that ads get shown.

There’s so much bitching in this thread like someone from AdSense or Outbrain has personally murdered a family member, but the truth is, these places are a grift. Annoying, yes, but mostly harmless. Oh and don’t try to pull “oh but governments can use this for surveillance” yes they could but as someone who has held a job a federal level tax office, they do not have the budget for profiling people like this and a corrupt government has cheaper and better options.

I will try my best to respect your opinion and what you think a “right to privacy” means but I have great trouble understanding the paranoia

They legally can’t for European users

Like all companies complying with European data collection laws, they can’t collect your data and have to delete anything they have collected.

Germany has the opportunity to do something really funny

“Get a real job” says person to audience who view her as a walking uterus

My favourite line is “at this time”

Wow, the one man who believe shoving a torch down your nose to kill a virus believes that you can adjust a complex web of interconnected economic activity by shouting at it. What a time to be alive.

Well, we will know things will have gotten real bad when they start approaching sex offenders for fertility studies in an Operation Paperclip type arrangement

BRICS: For some reason, we’re going to make a money laundering collective for dictatorships and be shocked when people call us up on it and we’ll blame the EU

This worked out great for Lenin and Stalin who just skipped the middle step and outlawed the church, then put their statues everywhere
