To have internet connection in the United States, it’s the most expensive in the world. It’s so cheap to have internet in Korea and Italy for sure. Sometimes capitalism is expensive.
My Sonia Bravia will power up on its own and then go back down. I think it is a glitch in a setting. Dont remember which one. I did what internet said to do and it may have fixed it.
There’s a reason that the NSA builds every component of their computing system whether it’s servers, computers etc. If you can hack a system using a USB charging cable, imagine what they can do with voice enabled appliances.
IIRC Comcast had/has something similar.
I don’t get it. What is the point of “sharing bandwidth?”
********
It’s so homeless vagrants can cluster up and camp on the sidewalk in front of your house and burn up your bandwidth while searching the dark web for illegal drug deals and watch snuff porn on your net.
Of course, that’s not in the sales slogan but this is how this idiot crap tends to turn out, by design.
Sales slogans are for idiots, after all.
Tucker Carlson gave a staffer several phones that had all had the Internet disabled in one way or another then sent him on a road trip to sites that were supposed to be secured by restricting WiFi or having private access. When the guy got back they put the phones on traffic loggers and restored them to normal use. Every one sent location information straight to Google. They said that even the supposed secure locations could be easily figured out just by looking at the GPS coordinates. All of the phones stored the data until it could be sent when the connection to Google was restored. Creepy stuff.
Comcast has been doing this for years. I don’t see any disadvantage to the subscriber. But the company should have explained that this was happening. It didn’t.
and how much will Amazon pay me for using my wifi? or should I say stealing?
So that when your neighbor starts downloading child pornography, the FBI will come knocking on YOUR door.
Just another way to target the Deplorables for extinction.
Adding to the growing list of why to avoid using Amazon.
I worked in Tech Security a decade ago, and the answer is yes. The camera on your computer can be turned on without the little light coming on. Think turning a mic on without the user “enabling” the software that is already installed is an issue? Mic’s dont even come with lights to let you know they are on (hence the term “hot mic gaffe”). ANY CAMERA on ANY ELECTRONICS device in your house should have a physical shutter cap installed (you can get a pack of 3 for under $10) and keep it closed unless you specifically want it open. Also, some devices now have an IR camera about an inch left or right of the camera you can see. That is what enables facial recognition, and ... cover it permanently and dont use facial recognition.
Another big issue. If you’re sharing your connection, it will trace back to your own IP address. So, some dirty chomo connects to your network and starts downloading child porn... Now the cops are smashing in your door. Not a good idea by any means.
So was Atlas Shrugged.
They also give welfare recipients a discount, paid for by the rest of us in the form of higher fees.
As a cyber security professional - Ummm, no.
What could possibly go wrong with this snitcherama...
NO
Is this related to 5G without saying so?
As for spying ....i don’t have Alexa or any device, no mic or camera on computer, just cheap 3 or 4 g phones.
This weekend hubs was telling me about his first apartment in Plainfield Ct.
We also discussed what warehouse stores are available where we’re moving to.
Today in the mail is a Costco invite for his dearly departded dad, for ENFIELD Ct.
We live in Saratoga NY. Not exactly in the same area. Dad never lived here.
