As a new owner of one of these devices (no, I'm neither sharing nor cooperating), I've received "alerts of suspicious activity in your area", even though I'm not involved in the neighborhood nonsense. The alert posts are truly frightening, each suggesting dire motives for the miscreant with the nerve to appear on someone's front porch. (They look like canvassers and delivery people to me.) The hysterical tone of the responses suggests someone's going to get a shotgun blast through the closed door. And there doesn't seem to be a point to these posts; most use lame suggestions and innuendo before whimpering to "neighbors", "Do you think that guy is suspicious?" I'm sure the Amazon-connected departments would love to chalk up a "catch" courtesy of Ring, but there's not much evidence of that.
Website, Facebook page, accreditation... that's a lot of work for nabbing a mere eight suspects. I thought a more business-focused administration would be looking for a better ROI.
They're pretty much all the same up there, no? Maple syrup, granite quarries, lumberjacks? Bet it was a jury of lumberjacks and stonecutters, no matter which state.
Evil Huawei!! Washington will overlook the fact that no Huawei hardware was involved - doesn't suit their narrative. This story is about wetware... the engineers who offered a helping hand; it would make as much sense to blame the Israeli cracking tool, and these days, there's nothing about Israel the administration can't forgive.
Reminiscent of the Orange County Choppers reality show, which capitalized on a father-son rivalry; overbearing Paul Teutul Sr. ultimately drove out his son, who opened a competing shop called, simply, "Paul Jr.". Gotcha.
(Actually, neither was a legitimate Sr. or Jr. - Paul Michael is the elder combatant, Paul John the younger.)
Can you imagine being a career regulatory staff attorney at the Commission right about now? Waiting each week to see what berserko mandate comes down from the political appointee at the top, as he looks to feather someone's nest?
Verizon, for example, is a passive intermediary platform: It makes no attempt to edit or alter the bits flowing through its fiber optic cables. Facebook and YouTube, however, are active intermediaries...
... so FB and YT are successfully altering the bits flowing through their... hey, wait a minute, they don't have any... what is Taplin taking about?
I guess he can clarify by posting an explanation on that passive intermediary platform, Verizon. How will he do it? Not sure... try visiting verizon.com or verizon.net, and looking for the "post" button. Maybe if he types it on a piece of paper and scotch tapes that to a Verizon fiber trunk, he will have succeeded.
PACER needs an automated filter, too... to detect when Random Words in a Lawsuit have been Capitalized (see what I did there?), after which a red-inked rubber stamp marks the document "BULLSHIT". Surely, sharing Personal Information is a far greater crime than sharing personal information.
Of course, capitalization is the text equivalent OF SHOUTING, which brings to mind the immortal quotation from one Squidward Tentacles:
Squidward: People talk loud when they wanna act smart, right?
Hard to even say the word "Tennessee" without thinking first of Marcia Blackburn. Maybe a good, hard, one-P SLAP would dislodge a few AT&T paychecks from her purse.
