Mr. Adequate is would just be fine, and a whole lot more economical.

"We do not accept that data in the temporary storage location was 'publicly exposed,'

Then I suggest demonstrating your sincerity. Dump your intimate photos and PII in your temporary storage location.

I recently downgraded from Cable 800MB to starlink. Simply because for some reason at 2pm EVERY SINGLE DAY my ping times with charter would go from around 30/ms to 100-1000/ms and it lasted for a few hours. I work from home and that was unusable. The only other "broadband" available was starlink. So now I'm much slower in the 100-200MB range, but overall we haven't noticed much difference.

So I'd say, yeah, you don't have to go all the way up to gigabit to be considered broadband.

The old-school methods might be making a comeback.

Gitlab spent insane money chasing Github's lead. As I understand it they do make money now, but only on their enterprise offering, not the SaaS.

And Gitlab actually has nice features; this looks like a weekend project.

Add to that I don't think your average enterprise is going to be all that hot to rent what's supposed to be boring infra from the Space Nazi.

Although the fact that Microsoft can't seem to keep Github operational is starting to leave an opening, so depending on how incompetent they get, maybe there's an opening there.

Most of the risk of de-anonymization comes from "enrichment" - you may not have a name in this dataset, but say you have birthdate, gender and zipcode. In that dataset you have names, and you match them up based on the other attributes.

If you read claims about anonymized data closely, you'll notice the providers are well aware of this in how they phrase things.

Of course plain old incompetence also does the trick.

Micopilot Copilot.

One name, every product.

You realize this is Telecom, not FAANGXia? (is there an acronym for the current stock hotness?)

These are the oligarchs that came out of the post-WWII gravy train. The ones that partnered with NSA while building a middle class.

Not the new ones you're thinking of, who are building their own intelligence agencies and attempting to destroy the middle class.

It just raises the cost. I'll get a separate phone for the car that holds only my ID plus numerous videos of the 4th Amendment recited by furry cops in helium voices.

I already limit what is on/available from my "walking around" phone. Now we're just specializing for particular audiences.

Your car phone will have no need of a SIM, at least, so an old one will do.

That is a recipe for throwing a bunch of cable guys in prison.

I guarantee you if that happens once, nobody with a title above manager will ever have heard of it. "Nine one what?"

RF control drones are nowhere near dead. Even DJI Mavics are still used daily for recon missions, nothing beats their combination of price to video quality.

This is a love tap, fists will be thrown later. One thing can and should be done, we need to start adding aerosols into the atmosphere, the higher the better. Adding Na compounds to jet fuels would introduce just enough aerosols in order to start reflecting a tiny amount more of solar radiation than what makes it to the surface of the planet. 1-2% reflection is all we need to start reducing the temperatures. Of-course we will have to keep doing it until we figure out a more permanent solution.

This is what inflation looks like in a single product category.

Something happens to break the former equilibrium; in this case, a few things happened - Covid, then LLMs, and now rapid changes in international commerce stability. This causes uncertainty, disruption and shortages, all of which spikes prices.

Then the opportunists see an opportunity. (And to be fair, prices are going up on everyone, even opportunists.) Prices are already going up and the bulk of buyers have no good reason to be knowledgeable or engaged enough to understand component-level price pressures. And even if they did, what are they going to do about it?

Then everyone else in the supply chain realizes not raising prices is a missed opportunity and they're the suckers if they don't.

Buckle up, this is going to be "normal" for a long time.

Zuckerbook's extruded wheeze was predictable based on the existence of the others - the cool kids down the hall were getting attention for doing it.

This problem needs to be solved by references, ask AI, people, is this program safe before installing.
