You'd save money because there will be no games to buy? :p

Games aren't cheaper on the PC even when purchased directly from a publisher's "store". I doubt they'd be cheaper on this device, especially due to the relatively small audience.

And it's just 2 weeks. Is "working from home" some kind of code for "only work 20% of the time" to them? Why even offer this at all unless that's what they mean.

Me too, but only if a local shop carries the product , or if I spend 20-30 minutes shopping around online. I pay the extra dollar to be able to find and buy a product in a few minutes, and have it at my doorstep in 1-2 days. Convenience is well worth that extra dollar. And yeah, it's usually only that much of a difference, if any. High cost products are almost always cheaper on amazon.

I don't want my ISP ran by the government. I see a lot of people complaining about government overreach in general, and I wonder if they're the same ones who want to give the government more power here?

It seems more reasonable for the government to add legislation that holds subsidies until AFTER contractual services are rendered by the ISPs. ISPs have the money to float themselves for these upgrades until they're paid by the government... so let them.

It lets you play offline? Last time I tried, I had to be connected online in order to switch it to "offline" mode and also still be able to play games. Has this changed? Can you enable offline mode without logging in, and will games still work? I'm thinking no, but I could be wrong here.

If you have to log in to turn on offline mode, then there isn't a difference between this and Steam. You still need a connection to log in which defeats the purpose. Even after you enable offline mode, you need to check-in after a while by repeating this process.

So you're a conservative?

Did you read that article? It was a copy of the president's content. Twitter already stated that the president's account wouldn't be banned because he was the president. Trump's account was banned when his presidency ended. So, not really a good example you have there. The article is just more "Trump" news to get the views.

If that's the basis of your claim then there is a big hole in it.

I see tons of racism coming from the left. I see far more of it than from the right. There is an entire "knockout" game aimed at knocking out random white people. Yes it exists in the alt right, but probably no more than the left.

Do you think that Twitter will continue to show the same courtesy for those on the "alt right" IF the Biden administration were to issue something similar? Only time will tell, but I think most people are going to doubt that. I think this situation will prove the point that alt right-wingers are making.

I allege that Twitter would be quick to give up anyone on the "alt right" even if the tweet looks legally sound. Good for Twitter for standing up for free speech, but we know that they have always stood up for those on the left because there have been many news stories about this type of thing. When protected speech comes from someone on the right, they block the tweet and suspend/ban their accounts. This is because Twitter has a different view of protected speech than what is legally protected by law, and it's a far leftist's view. Therefore they are going to be prejudice against those on the right. There is no reason to assume that they'd treat any legal requests differently.

Music already sounds good enough from Amazon, but the best part is that now I shouldn't be nagged to upgrade every time I open the Amazon music app.

The USA doesn't have a GDPR. The only state with something similar is California, and this college is not in that state, so the data is legal.

If the interpretation of the data is screwed up, then I think the school should invest in something meant to monitor cheating. Obviously with online classes you'll need some form of anti-cheating involved, otherwise the issued degree will become almost worthless. As an example of a proper system; for Salesforce exams, you need 2 independent cameras on you. If you use your phone, then you automatically fail.

Sorry, but if medical students are going to be operating on limbs and organs some day, or give medical advice, then yeah - need some form of an anti-cheating measure. The whole point of a degree is to prove some standard of knowledge and without this stuff, then there aren't really any standards at all. I think the student should have the choice to agree as well, or drop out.

Was paying $65 2 years ago. Now I pay $75, and it went from an iffy 70mbps to a very consistent 250mbps. Still not fiber, but great for cable.

Overall I'm happy considering how useful the internet is. The article mentions how broadband providers point this out as the reason for the increase, yet it dismisses it as if it doesn't matter. So, what is it? Do people generally want lower speeds, or do they want to pay more to upgrade infrastructure? Nobody is going to gift this stuff - somebody has to pay for it. A company isn't going to nominate itself for that.

Also, the US dollar inflates 2-3% every year mostly due to frivolous government spending and loan programs. Your internet should be going up 10%-15% every 5 years based on this alone. That is obviously a little exaggerated because the economic value of the dollar also fluctuates, but still...

That may be true, but I don't think there are too many people who think that Biden is making his decisions for himself, or even has much input into what he's been doing. I don't even see democrats arguing against that. I'd say that his lack of independent thought is part of the reason for his nomination.

Tesla said that the car didn't have FSD purchased (which is "auto-pilot"). They also outright said that Auto-pilot wasn't enabled, and only cruise-control was enabled. How could you come to the conclusion that auto-pilot had killed them? You were nice enough to bold out the line about being buckled, but ignored everything else. It's fairly reasonable to assume that the driver had turned on Cruise Control and then jumped into the passenger seat.

And here you liken everyone else to "flat-Earthers" while claiming that a car, which didn't have auto-pilot installed, had crashed as a result of auto-pilot.

And CNN blames everyone's confusion and their own click-bait commentary on Tesla for not engaging with them. Incredible.
