How else are you going to pay-gate already-installed features, though?!

I live within a mile radius of an international airport so I doubt that I will be seeing drone deliveries any time soon. I have absolutely no problem with this. It may actually improve my property value in the long term as the last bastion of a drone-free area.

Complete anecdote, but every person that I know that lives in a rural location has had fiber installed within the last year or two.

I live in Minneapolis and we now have two fiber options (T-Mobile and CenturyLink).

Maybe it's just a Minnesota thing.

Or disable NAT, enable bridging mode, and turn off wifi features on the cable modem so that it's not acting as a router any longer and your equipment gets the public IP. That way you don't have to buy a DOCSIS router.

Yep. I 100% agree with this.

I *hate* the fact that places have started scanning the bar code data on my drivers license just to get DoB.

They *say* that they only need it for age verification, but that scan is slurping way more information than just the DoB.

I would much rather have my DL in a secure digital wallet where it cannot be lost or stolen and can be masked to only provide the needed information.

Personally, I think the definition will change.

Already, if you say "hand-crafted chair", nobody is going to assume that you didn't use power tools.

According to TFA, they simply asked the reseller to include their tracker in a shipment of books that the reseller was already shipping to their client.

I think it's good to know what is happening in the world.

Maybe Amazon is farming out their billing department's services

Good lord man, what a cynical take.

Talk about throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

Well, I don't know about "do" something, but it does "have" something, which is a lot bigger network of devices since there are more Android devices in the world than there are iOS devices.

I guess it could strip out ads and format things for better readability?

IDK, I could see a *use* for it, but it seems like a real brute force, high cost way of doing things.

Burning things doesn't make the things go away. What is being done with the waste from the burning? Burying it in a landfill?

Yeah, I mean, how would any packets they are able to see passing through them be routed to an attacker anyway?

Even if you could fit a tiny busybox on one of these thing, once they try to enter a L3, routable state, they would be detected immediately. Imagine hundreds of these inside an org all trying to get a DHCP address. Even the most unobservant admin is going to see something like that.

Timing is everything.

If the circumstances are conducive to it, even the most paranoid person can get phished in a moment of distraction.

A famous, recent(ish) example is the operator of HIBP, who mistakenly fell for a credential phish because he was distracted and/or tired and the communication was something that he wasn't surprised by in the moment.
