Damn, came to make this exact comment

Yeah, I had a company called Wave that was since bought by or rebranded to Astound. I've had it about 8 years, and had maybe 2 outages. It's night and day.

Bull. Fucking. Shit. If anything, this was something Lina Khan started, and Trump forgot to cancel.

So glad I was able to get an alternate ISP. A good chunk of my life, Comcast was the only high speed ISP in the area.

It's always been a ripoff from the start. The modem / router is far cheaper than whatever they charge you to rent it over a year. Additionally they were broadcasting public wifi hotspots from your rented modem for a while (probably still are) and now this. Having said that, walk into any random friend's house, and what will you see? A big stupid rented Comcast modem.

Not only that, they renamed the whole company Meta because that was what they wanted to be known for. Now it is just named after a dead product.

Agreed, but will people even buy them? I like to think not, but how many morons got new iPhones for "Apple intelligence"

Tech is so fucking cooked. They are clearly out of ideas and grasping at straws. This is the dumbest thing I've heard... So far.

It's real. Tucker clearly still works at Fox news.

I've been taking a sabbatical essentially. Living off savings that was supposed to be for a down payment on a house (lol). Got to do a lot of traveling with the kids and I've been looking for a similar role elsewhere but haven't secured anything yet. Thankfully, my wife still makes good money and we're doing OK financially, but I'm not thrilled about my prospects in my field. It's hard to be optimistic in a fascist AI hellscape.
