You seriously think Trump is considering further out than next months news cycle?

How long until some organization forks the project and everybody switches to it?

With all the plugins etc. it might take a while, but once a critical mass is reached it would put an end to this idiocy.

I never said they weren’t legit. I said they likely would never go public and be listed on stock exchanges due to all the requirements that entails.

These companies I listed provide VPN services to people who want a level of privacy in their internet usage. That list of public companies you mentioned sell VPN hardware mostly to corporations that want to secure their own private traffic between different locations. Huge difference.

A company I worked for got into a long lease for 3 floors in an office building. Never used one of them. Ended up subletting it to another company until they were out of that lease.

Never said they were.

That list of public companies mostly sell networking gear that you can use to configure VPNs. I don’t think that’s what the post I originally replied to was talking about. I think they were talking more about VPN service providers like NordVPN, ExpressVPN, PIA, ProtonVPN, etc.

Yeah, but how many VPN providers are public companies? I’m guessing not very many given the reporting requirements public companies face.

Probably the companies themselves. I work remotely, and our company provides software phones to remote workers as needed. 99% of the time I don’t need one, but there have been a few times where I’ve needed one for various reasons. So I have one temporarily set up for myself, usually for just a few days. Just about every time I have done that I get random voicemails from frustrated customers who are trying anything to just reach a human.

I think Netflix could probably start selling their tool and make more money from that then streaming if they can get it to work, because I’m guessing AWS makes it hard on purpose.

The company Cloudhealth Technologies has already been doing this for years, and not just with AWS but other cloud providers as well. Unfortunately they’ve been acquired by VMware so no idea if they’re still as good as they used to be…

He’ll probably nominate Barron as Secretary of the Cyber.

Actually it’s the Flavor Aid you need to watch out for… Specifically the grape flavor.

I had a few AC Pros in a 110+ year old house where other AP’s had issues with all the plaster & lathe walls. They worked great. I also have a couple of them installed at a non-profit org I volunteer with and everybody is very happy with how they work there as well.

After moving from that first house to a new one with a bigger footprint I upgraded to a pair of their U6 mesh AP’s, one at each end of the house. Never had any issues with them.

I’ve not heard of that… Got any links to articles about it?

Idk how we fix it.

Simple. Don’t buy a TCL television. If you do have one, or any other brand of “smart” TV then for gods sake do NOT connect it to the internet.

My employer uses WP Engine for a lot of varied content. I’m not directly involved with it, but it appears to be well designed for corporate use. We masquerade various WP sites behind different domains & paths on our site. For example, www.example.com/about/ is one WP environment, www.example.com/blog/ is another, and www.example.com/business/ is yet another. Only certain people in our organization can edit /about/ and /business/, but we hire external authors to provide content under /blog/ so they have access to that.

We also apparently have the ability to modify pages on a dev/test domain then migrate them to our production domain very easily. So changes can be tested & verified before going live.

All that being managed by WP Engine means we don’t have to worry about manually setting up WP, managing our users, making sure everything is properly backed up, etc.

Best investment I ever made for my car was a dash cam that records not only what’s in front of me but what’s behind.

I only wish I had it when I got rear ended after slamming on the brakes when an oncoming car swerved into my lane then took off after cutting me off…

Well they are all the same…

I actually enjoy their content, and I bet the satellite radios are really popular with long haul truckers, etc. since they get coverage virtually everywhere. No need to hunt for radio stations you like, or stretches in the middle of nowhere where you can’t get any radio.

Where they suck is the way they nickle & dime people, make it a pain to cancel, etc.

Yup, that’s it. Thanks!

I recall seeing videos posted to Reddit and other social media from a number of years ago. An alleged child rapist (murderer?) was handcuffed and being escorted through the airport by police, with TV camera crews following along. The father of the victim was waiting at a bank of pay phones, as if he was using one. As the group walked by, the father walked towards them, shot and killed the man, and immediately surrendered to the police.

Although it seemed like a clear cut case of premeditated murder I recall he got off with a very minimal sentence. If this guy is caught and tried then I really hope for a similar outcome.

Until the bills for running those servers start piling up. Most/all those companies are headquartered in the US, and it likely wouldn’t be trivial for employees in other countries to suddenly start accessing finances etc. if the US offices are unexpectedly shuttered.

There’s also a huge knowledge drain that could impact the operation of those servers. I work on a devops team that manages web services serving around 15 countries. All but one of my teammates are in the US. We occasionally have to deal with hardware failures in our AWS cloud environments that requires manual intervention to recover from, for example. If that sort of knowledge is lost, or even severely limited, then it can easily lead to cascading failures that makes a site completely inaccessible.
