But if you are in public and i follow you nonstop, keeping track of where and when you go.....well you would say i was stalking you. Why is it bad for me but ok for a network of cameras.

We need 1 good lawyer to argue this case.

Remember everybody. Get a vpn with a node in albania. Youtube cannot force a signin or display ads to people in albania.

Its really that simple.

I do volunteer work for nonprofits. Its amazing that normal people think we are swimming in cash.... newsflash, we are not.

The IT budget is nothing so alot of what i do is setup open source stuff to meet needs...think libreoffice erc.

External storage for large backups is not on the table. And no one wants the reaponsibilty of shuffling external backup drives to and from.

We need 1 good lawyer to take up the 'Flock is stalking me' case. Prove mass surveillance = stalking.

Wrong. Never download and install any wifi profile package, escpecially if it has certs to install. That is just asking to have all your traffic decrypted and data taken.

Win 2000 was the shit. Last one I liked.

In the US, when I was looking for a house, I favored any that were on the same grid as the local hospital. It ensured that after a hurricane or whatever, I would get power restored quickly.

Just 1more perk

Smart TVs do not magically connect to your WiFi without credentials.

Now if there is an open WiFi available, that might be a way or if the TV has a deal with a carrier to use all that open automatic WiFi.

I remember when street fighter 2 was released for the SNES. Our store had it at 64.99 and that's in 1990-something dollars.

Games have always been expensive, especially when hyped and already popular

But I still have an SNES and SF2 and can play it whenever I want. No chance a licensing server rejects me or a lic is flagged invalid in the future.

That's the difference. I know as long as the hardware works, I can always use that game.

Of course I would pay an extra few dollars tohave media and guarantee a game will install and run even if the internet goes away.

This isn't about convienence for the users, its about killing the secondary market
