This is it. Conservatives are predominantly people with little to no empathy. That’s why they change their tune the moment things affect them.

That stinks. I have the F4-424 Pro and I love it.

Mine has an internal USB so you can open it up pretty easily and install any version of Linux you prefer. Not sure what model you bought, but I would assume you can too.

I work for an ISP, I definitely know how long old equipment gets held onto. Lol. Not saying it doesn’t happen, just saying Cisco isn’t the ubiquitous quality product it used to be.

I bought a Terramaster instead. Better hardware specs for the money and you can overwrite the OS with Linux which is way better than any stock OS.

Most of the internet infrastructure above the LAN side is actually Nokia switches these days. Cisco has lost a lot of market share. Most of the old Cisco switches are being replaced due to no longer being updated. Security wise, not great to keep an end of life switch.

People need to get off all corporate social media. It can’t be trusted.

That only happens from incompetence or bad IPAM software. It’s easy to assign a static in most management systems. As long as you set up the static in your router correctly, it should just stay.

Sleep Number beds are like $10,000 for some models already. Who knows what ridiculousness they will charge for an “AI” bed.

So stupid. This is only to spy on normal citizens. Criminals can easily use their own E2EE.

They could have bailed out individual’s loans, and also solidified the banks that way. If they paid month by month for a time period to stabilize things it would’ve been drastically cheaper and kept people from losing their houses. Those people could have paid back in increments over time in taxes even (like they do student loans). It would have kept all those people from losing their homes, cost less, stabilized the economy, and not rewarded the banks for risky behavior. They should have charged the major players in banks too. What Obama did was the worst way to right the ship.

Obama’s policies were mostly Heritage foundation fed too. The ACA was a Heritage Foundation plan. His bank bail out was a hand out to the rich without consequence. His foreign policy was bad towards the middle East and awful for human rights. He deported more people than any president before him. By all metrics, he was a Republican. He was historic, sure, but I don’t think he was any better than Biden in relation to policies that helped regular people or embrace of the anti-human rights policies. People’s memories tend to soften situations or maybe just politics was more muted at the time. Democrats have been right wing lite for my whole life.

This is so fucking stupid. Major crime organizations and governments can easily afford non-commercial encrypted communications. This will only be used to spy on citizens.

This is just an invite to fraud - straight up.

Yes. Capitalism was in an ideological battle with communism so the government put its thumb on the scale with socialism but gave credit to capitalism for the outcome. Then billionaires spent 75 years indoctrinating, corrupting, and distorting history to claw back their power.

Just a quid pro quo to give google a fat government hand out. Only purpose it will serve is to give border agents something to blame for issues. Just like every time DOGE messes up.

Showing how truly performative their big “ally” push was during the pandemic. All their BLM and diversity support was just as performative. Big corporations are just sycophantic monsters riding trends. Avoid them where possible.

Seriously. This country couldn’t do a better job promoting socialism if it tried. Capitalism to a majority of people under 50 means instability and hardship.

Not to mention any new factories will have drastically fewer jobs than the factories that left due to newer factories being highly automated. The cost of retrofitting existing factories has stopped many companies from upgrading to keep higher their quarterly profits for investors. If they are forced to build, they will invest in money saving long run cost savings like automation.
