I agree.
I figured it was an attempt of character development.
I am a season behind, but I sometimes see some attempts to it on track with comments like "is that sarcasm, I am getting better at detecting it" style comments.

Looks more like an army than a police department.

and I just learned to use flood-fill.

We don't need more tracking for a goverment to abuse.

As we know, only small time crooks get jail time.
Their error was that they didn't operate out of Wall Street.

Yes.

I figured that it was what people wanted, it being 100% predictable. There are no surprises, it's the same stuff over and over again like those stupid top 10 lists.

I have only travelled in nothern France and the last 15 years has changed a lot and it seems to be possible now to use English(have never been to Paris).
Unless they think I am German, then nothing is possible and there are no rooms available, they can't understand a word of what I am saying etc.

Many european countries practice both censorship and surveillance.

That is so 1990's.
We install a VPN router to connect to the home network through that? So the only thing we need to secure are the VPN?
Everything else is insanity and who wants to spend all their free time checking up on all their appliances to see if they are secure with the latest patches? Most of them probably won't be and the hardware will outlive the software updates.
Will there be security updates for your heatpump in 10 or even 5 years? I doubt it. But it is damn to be able to turn on the heat or cold from the office.

If so, then SOLD!

Ah, I see I misread the price. That will teach me not to post when I am tired. :D

I am not up to date on US broadband prices but wouldn't it be much cheaper to get a MiFi access point instead? But I guess if I had the money for a new Audi, I wouldn't care about 99$ a month for a overpriced broadband service. If it is all paid up for the price of the car hides the cost of the broadband.

He haven't had his coffee yet.
