As if giving it all to Comcast and Spectrum for the 47th time will make things any better? Starlink is actually something accessible for a lot of these people, while legacy ISPs just pocket the money and claim its too hard to serve rural customers.

Nah, he's just used more of his money to whitewash his image with articles such as this. When you peek behind the curtain, he's just as ruthless as the others.

Similar to the one I saw in Oregon a few weeks ago. It had fingerprint smudges all over the body. Seems like it'd be a huge pain to keep clean and probably need a sealant or clear wrap over the top.

Sp you're telling me that eating McDonald's every day doesn't make me qualified to he the CEO of McDonalds? I wish someone would have told me this earlier.

The media had their role in it too by setting a 'tone' for the whole thing by treating it like a joke from the start and being sure to always interview the kookiest of people whenever they'd visit one of the encampments. Alternatively, conservative outlets like Fox would paint the protestors like a bunch of entitled freeloaders who just wanted to cause problems.

It's almost as if we're all different people.

Seems interesting but it has the stink of "buzzword marketing" all over it. The example given in the article about using it for wake words is just using a microphone connected to the device. Microphones and speakers are both analog devices that all digital phones have already. Also the fact that it's an IC that's programmable leads me to believe it's not analog at all, or else how can it be programmed?

I also thought it was funny to talk about environmental damage from all these digital sensors and then using thermometers filled with mercury as an example of an analog sensor. Mercury is a heavy metal and extremely toxic to most lifeforms, which is why we don't use it in thermometers anymore.

Try linking one and sending it to someone else. I tried it and the recipient died two days later.

OP just needs a really long extension cord plugged into a German outlet.

I dunno I see a lot of cars on my commute that could use a driver update...

We'll probably see them lobbying to give ISPs additional taxpayer funds to 'expand' broadband access while redefining broadband to be anything above 150Kbps.

Meh this is one instance that just keeps getting reposted every couple days. Pirating executable files has always been a risk and brought with it issues like this. There is little risk with music, tv, and movies.
