• I’ve censored so much traffic that it has issues with certain things. If there wasn’t a price crisis I had planned to build my own Android TV box with an old Intel NUC or such but not at these prices. I’ve not looked into anything about DNS over https. I am behind a VPN at the router though not sure if that helps.

• Yeah. I think that is overkill. They leave the voice tied to a button so they don’t have to filter out background for a command. This is just cost driven and so far cost of manufacture still drives companies … Not data gained through background monitoring. Your data is valuable but not THAT valuable yet

• There are smart switches and fans and other switchable devices that are controlled through schedule and manual BT switches and ir sensors - rather than voice. I can use voice to control things but I prefer the lights to match my day without my interactions being necessary.

• I did the same thing, moved to the other end of the country and just focused on myself for a while. Two jobs and a move to the south east and go figure I’m now married again despite swearing it off. I met her at a shitty job. Have a blast being single and doing all the things you forgot you liked.

• The one thing I am certain of is I will not go with tp link ever again. All the add ins they charge monthly for are free with the right router. Plus I’ve never gotten an update to my WiFi 6 tplink . Wait … didn’t open WRT make their own router ? ? That is the one I’d go for because they load the open source software on it ready for you to configure. I’d imagine this is better than many other options.

• I think they have every right to game the bubble because we would be doing the exact same if the situation were reversed. Bummer it’s all going to pop and we will all be using locals soon. They WILL keep building data centers though as long as they get away with it because these boomers and rich idiots want every ounce of our personal info.

• For a while I thought something like a life recording would be awesome … Using your own cameras and devices at home and away and leveraging public devices to mesh together a record of everything really. Think of the possibilities, you have an argument and insist you did or did not say something…look it up! If you are accused of something like robbing a bank - no problem, my feed and gps and video evidence says otherwise. And when you are an old coot you can go back and watch the sex you had with whomever whenever isn’t a negative . Then I realized the storage needs and someone would monetize it so only the wealthy could get a full backup and you got tier 32 ( birthdays and blowjobs maybe ) … Now years later I realize without our permission they are doing exactly that, only fuck it all because we can build more storage and the intent has changed. It’s not to sell you a service. In fact it is much worse.

• I grew up in the 1970s air travel wasn’t cheap but it was accessible. You were treated well. I (6 at the time) got to go to the cabin and stood right there between pilot and co pilot … Captain gave me a metal chrome pair of wings (pin with logo and I think a plane) … I was flabbergasted… Walked guided by the stewardess silently to my seat. There was courtesy and the mindset during those years and up to maybe late 80s was “the customer is our greatest asset”. Now profit is the greatest asset and the customer is in the way. No wonder we all go around pissed off. Bags were FREE UNTIL 9/11 and they said we will only charge temporarily until the crisis is over. Asshats and liars.
