... of politicians. Because they are the ones who could write the laws to ban privacy invasive solutions.

why not both?

how long are these videos? 2,973 of them (and not even the 20,000 count)? even at 15 minute clips that is like... five years?! watching non-stop.

I am hard pressed to believe that this was for the exec.

what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander

I just wnat to know what bandwidth this exec has at his house. I want it.


I doubt many consumers of these videos are watching them straight through like a normal movie.

Don't know how they're keeping up with the plot like that.

A few decades back, someone I know had entire CD towers worth of burned CDs & DVDs of porn. Easily onto the thousand discs.

This was mostly a hoarding thing. Hoarders gonna hoard.


Checkout r/DataHoarder for what kind of person does this.

I've heard the same about pirated software, people who have downloaded thousands of programs. People are strange.

umm it’s called archiving, thank you very much.

3000 fifteen minute clips is 750 hours, or 31 days. A lot, but not five years.

This is where this EO falls, "banning certain foreign-manufactured equipment from the U.S. bulk-power system".

Conjecture, but i think this is targeting data centers...


It is all about those transformers.

Is there a method to opt out of this for non-EU people? I do not see such option in the article.


I have gone through Schiphol and strip searched because the buttons on my winter coat were suspicious.


This is not a US-only airport staff issue. I am on the road most of the last three decades and it is international. It is one, binding "quality" in every country. Most the airport staff's core competency rests elsewhere in almost all airports.

I am hedging because i have had nuggets of exceptional service and support here and there, even in nightmarish hellscapes like Heathrow. Flight attendants are a whole different area of joy and fears...


Where would Netgate pfSense+ fit on that list?

I tried Mikrotik and the UI was wasting so much of my time, it was worth switching to Netgate, for me.


The author seems to equivocate by comparing completely different domains.

Whether 98% is acceptable, it depends on the cost of failure, not the percentage itself.
