Daily Democrat- When Comcast asked Ronaldo Boschulte to swap out his malfunctioning broadband modem and Wi-Fi router with an all-new model late last year, he didn't know the Internet device was a high-tech Trojan horse of sorts.
With a bit of tinkering, you'll have all your gadgets humming along on the perfect network in no time.
Signing up for the new Twitter Blue has caused problems for some folks. The Shortcut details the roadblocks you may hit trying to sign up and how to get around them.
Good thing I signed up at launch so people know I'm the real evilcackle
Huge loss for those who don't know where else to spend their surplus $8 a month
study abroad is the chance to find yourself while acquiring a comprehension of an alternate culture. Being in another spot without help from anyone else can overpower on occasion.
If your Samsung Smart TV won’t connect to WiFi, there are a few things you can try to fix the issue.
That is not even **remotely** okay with me [prepare for rant or jump to TL;DR].
They claim that outside users should have "minimal impact", but there is absolutely no amount of impact that is okay for strangers using hardware inside of my own home. If I'm paying for *home* internet, NO STRANGERS WHATSOEVER get to use it.
They claim that home users won't be held responsible for illegal use of their router, but who the f**k are they kidding? If someone watches kiddie porn on your router, even if explicitly the public portion, you instantly become suspect #1 by investigators because you're the first and foremost person likely to have accessed your own router BECAUSE YOU LIVE 10 FEET FROM IT.
Say goodbye to your computers as the FBI hauls them away to be processed because you were unfortunate to have a pedophile drive-by your connection. Thank your creepy neighbors when the FBI starts sniffing around because you happen to live near a pedophile with public internet.
Don't want people using your internet for illegal stuff? Don't give your password to people you don't know well enough to know they won't do anything illegal with your internet connection.
And lastly, I don't want strangers parked outside of my house to use the internet.
It's a good thing you can opt out of this, but it's creepy that they even want to do this.
TL;DR:
I don't want to pay for home internet and have complete strangers park outside of my house to watch illegal things that could get me on some FBI suspect list (because it's my router regardless of which connection gets used) and impact my internet speed (PR talk of "minimal impact" does not convince me). But you can opt out, so I'll be making sure that Comcast isn't doing this with my connection and then I'll go back to playing vidya games.
Way to be over dramatic about the whole FBI thing.
