And it's often all you can get. It's what my mother users because there isn't an alternative. It's not great but its sooo much better than the dialup she had before and the borrowing off of a neighbors spotty wifi (with permission). She doesn't have cable, and not the income to pay for cable internet offerings. DSL exists because the infrastructure is pre-existing. Even cable companies make do with cable that was laid decades ago, very few companies are laying out fiber to the neighborhood. They know there is no competition so why waste money on it, when it's cheaper to buy off some legislators and regulators instead?
Why would DPRK care about Turkey taking the blame for something?
Because they want to distract the US at a crucial moment in and around Korea?
The muslim minority in Hindu majority India is unaffected.
The bill only aims to give shelter to persecuted non-muslims in neighoring Islamic countries. Incoming illegal muslim immigramts are excluded because they are not the ones fleeing persecution in their Islsmic countries. Whereas people from other religions: Hindu, Christian, Buddhist etc in Neighboring barbaric Islamic lands bave been systematically decimated and are the ones fleeing into India that this bill gives shelter to.
It is exactly this kind of misinformation that the Internet is susceptible to, and causes real misinformed violence that need to be stopped.
Bitcoin is decentralized for a reason. The governments of the world will own your every movement. Want to flee the next Nazi Germany or Cuba because you don't like what your country has become... not a chance.
Buy some bondage toys and suddenly you can be blackmailed by any Fed. You might think it is that way now but they are limited to specific combinations of tracked items and otherwise need warrants, they'll have the generous tip you paid a stripper at their fingertips now.

True. I had to get a replacement for mine recently and looked at it because I didn't need 4K. However it also has a simplified wifi, whereas the Streaming Stick+ had a MIMO (to get through a floor) with 802.11ac (to avoid all the condo neighbors cluttering up the 2.4g space).
80s were rad.
Oh, and the remote controls are simpler on the Roku. Even my dumb TV has a wierdly complicated remote control (probably because it's dumb and they wanted to put every possible feature onto a separate button). I suspect you could give the Roku to and elderly relative and they'd figure out it pretty easily and not be calling you to help them find Matlock.
Also, this is yet another reminder to people that C is not "low level" programming. C/C++ are high level programming languages.
the ability to manipulate their environment.
Crows build nests don't they? Isn't that manipulating their environment?
I suspect there's a bit of a market when someone goes to the store and complains that Netflix stopped working on their TV and they're looking for a replacement and the assistant says in a hushed tone, "you could try one of these Rokus and save your self hundreds of dollars".
Not sure why you assume that it isn't true. I've had corporate laptops stolen out of my car while parked at CHURCH. The difference is that it was encrypted, so nothing of value was at risk. But the vehicular property theft rate in the Bay Area is absolutely out of control, and the police don't care enough to do anything about it, which pretty much means it's likely to continue getting worse until a few big corporations start putting tracking hardware in their corporate assets and sending out their own brute squads to take care of the problem with extreme prejudice.
So most of their explanation is entirely plausible. The only thing that would ordinarily seem unlikely is the part where they let someone store that kind of data on a personal device at all, rather than requiring it to be accessed exclusively via a web service over a VPN. But since we are talking about Facebook here, I'm not inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt — as the other side of Hanlon's double-edged razor says, never attribute to negligence that which can adequately be explained by gross incompetence.
Parrot is a company based in France that has completely changed the game when it comes to remote controlled aircraft. They have produced a drone that is propelled and kept up with no fewer than four rotors (quadcopter) that is operated using the latest mobile and tablet technology. The Parrot AR.Drone allows the user to control the vehicle using an application that can be found on both android and iOS; there is also other software available for other phones/tablets.
What would you do with an app on a TV? If the interface is your remote control then it's pretty painful to use. At least your phone or tablet have a touchscreen. Roku had some games when I first got it, which I thought was neat at first but them 5 minutes later I never bothered again. And if you're getting apps then you probably have to register and get a Google or Amazon account to go with it.
