Oh boy, I can’t wait for this new wave of paranoid customers claiming their wifi is watching them. Thanks, comcast.

I just put a full size tower behind my desk and zip tied my second monitor to it. He LOVES it.

I was just thinking the other day there could be a business behind selling fake CRT shells that you can snap modern flat screens into. Just because. They could even include custom styles like this Shrek or hello kitty

The US invented this new technology called aircraft hangers

Your comment implies there’s only two options.

Sim swap your parents. Nuke their social media.

Please God let some bug at the carrier level incessantly provision these T1s to a max of 1.5mbps because that would be so fucking funny.

Hey let’s switch examples and see if your logic stands up. The name Los Angeles is Spanish. Because Spanish speakers have been there longer than English speakers. If the Spanish speakers don’t like the president of the United States, does that mean it’s perfectly acceptable for the Mexican government to provide Spanish speaking protesters in LA with artillery systems and missile batteries? Or is that fucking weird?

A downvote is not an answer btw.

Lol fair. Your local PD gets tens of millions of dollars worth of military equipment like APCs every year and they’re still not effective either.

The computer automatically was able to determine they pinged a mile away 5 minutes ago, and a further mile in the other direction 5 minutes later. They were filtered out before a human was looking at the data.

This happens even when protests aren’t happening. This is regular equipment used in traffic surveys conducted by every civil engineer in every county in the country. The surveys are for completely boring reasons like if the intersection signals should turn the left turn signal green before the straight lanes.

Granted the equipment used in these surveys intentionally ditch identifying information. They can gobble up things like Bluetooth hardware addresses from your car or phone as you drive by, and see if that address pops up on the other sensors in the area. That can reliably tell them which direction you turned at an intersection and they can start to see trends in the data.

This type of equipment is used everywhere and can be retooled to zero in on specific people just as easily as it’s used for anonymous traffic statistics. Throw in things like stingrays and cell tower tracking and you’re fucked.

President meeseeks would be fire. He’d get shit done for people.

When your starcraft LAN matches keep lagging out on the default option IPX. You try the other option but it says not installed. So you have to figure out how to reconfigure your network adapter in windows 98 to use this new thing called TCP/IP. You’re in middle school and youtube doesn’t exist.

I went to college for networking but the most productive class I’ve ever had where I learned the most about the internet was instead back in high school. This teacher would make 20 page packets with the most obscure questions like what’s the weight of model number 62xRG4 (some obscure car part or something) and he told us to google it. We would spend entire classes just searching for information we would never use, but it drilled into me how to go about finding the information I need. It’s been utterly invaluable. Thank you Mr Ward.

yes

And it’s somehow still an amazing experience despite not knowing a single word

Did he even say thank you?
