Comment Google noticed suspicious traffic from your IP (Score 5, Interesting) 42

Got this message for months and could not figure out what it was. Ended up fully power cycling an LG tv and the suspicious traffic went away. Child launched an app and the traffic came back. LG allows backgrounding apps but they get evicted quite easily due to limited resources. Well the app was a 4MB app that used so little resources it never got evicted. Now I see this post and it just furthers the point, do not connect devices to your network you do not trust. In my case I thought I was safe because it was on its own locked down VLAN, but nope. Now they are all going through proxies

"Anonymous source(s) reportedâ¦" is how they legally get away with lying. They all do it. Anyone still relying on mass media is fooling themselves. Best to watch the people making the claims say it directly from their mouths. And not snippets or sound bites, the entirety of their speeches, interviews, and statements.

I saw an article talking about how Americans are surprised they are not able to claim the new tax deductions on their recent car purchase because they didnâ(TM)t read the fine print of the big beautiful bill. They simply listened to the talking points and said "bae, if we buy a car we get $10k back" or "yeah all my tips are tax free!!". But if they had read the bill they would have understood the shortcomings. CNN is not going to tell you that. Fox News isnâ(TM)t going to tell you that. Best to go to the source. New media was saying this but even then it's just snippets and likely goes too far the other way.

Gotta go to the source, those that don't will be doomed.

I'm going to chime in with getting to university in Europe is a lot harder than in the United States. I know the schools in Switzerland have high stakes exams regularly that *do* filter the majority towards what we could consider trade-schools.
Those who do get in, as you said, their university education is essentially free.

I worked for a HMO from 2000s to 2010s. During my time there, we consolidated to a single building and were issued new badges that contained a RDIF that could be read remotely.
Every couple of minutes security would 'ping' the building and see where everyone was in the name of safety and security.
One day I had a gastro-issue and spent a lot of time in the restroom, and to my horror, there was a knock on my stall's door from security to see if I was okay.
After that, I would leave my badge at my desk while in the office.

So, basically not new technology, just using WiFi to do the checks vs RF.
