Have to be careful not the criminalize people legitimately using things like ring cameras (maybe), but companies have been writing off fines as a cost of doing business for too long. Start threatening to put CEOs in jail for the actions of their company. Have a list of alternative titles or role descriptions for companies that try to skirt the law by having a Chief of Hanging Loose Officer.

Only thing worth testing will be how well it runs a proper OpenWRT.

I was thinking pretty much the same thing, just 1 less screw.

I'm not going to go out of my way to be abusive to a toaster. I'm more likely to swear under my breath than bother typing it in. No different than praying your car makes it just a little further when you hear it start making a funny noise.

But no, I will not give even one duck about the toaster's "feelings".

Please. I would love to toss Mycroft on this thing.

In other news, sky is still blue.

Block early. Block often. Social media is already an echo chamber. Accept that and keep your chamber enjoyable.

I hope someone is letting them know this game is stuck in permadeath mode.

When I first read that, I thought I saw "other corporate wankers".

The government is trying to claim sections of land both are and are not US soil at the same time? How is that not a huge WTF?

Fired up Firefox and used the help/about. Was on 151 and it was saying that was up to date. Downloaded installer and ran it. Help/about now reports 153 (and up to date). So I guess I'll make sure I just download the installer if I hear about any urgent security updates to Firefox in the future.

Why am I hearing Obi Wan say "from a certain point of view" in my head while reading this?

Who cares if they settle on EST vs EDT (CST/CDT and so on)? Pick one. Companies can always shift their hours from 8-5 to 9-6 or 7-4.

"Alter the law so it doesn't actually affect us and we'll stop opposing it."

Lawmakers will probably do it as the lobbyist money will be around long after attention to the story has gone. Nobody's going to vote against their representative for this. Most of those who bother to show up on election day will just vote for their favorite team if they're super fans, and the rest will vote for who they think will win so they can tell their friends they voted for the winning side like they were betting on a football game.

So if your chat app gets compromised you can't search for a solution or workaround using the same phone. Brilliant.
