Not exactly. Leaving it at home means you either forgot it, left it at home to charge, OR you're at home, or you're a smart enough criminal to not want your location tracked. Assuming you didn't commit the crime, it actually going somewhere with you will help you remember where you were that day. Not only does the phone help prove it, but it will also jog your memory and help you reconstruct your day.
I'll believe it when I see it. My guess is the hardware's only as powerful as the Roku streaming stick and still slow to boot up. I get the feeling it's going to be more like a Smart TV where Roku is the only "app" (even though it has its own inside).
So you don't mean just any coffee shop. That's a multinational corporation. Don't assume most small businesses are even willing to spend enough on a router with a guest network.
Not sure what you're asking. But a small business that happens to be cheap will be using an off-the-shelf consumer router as their "access point" and will require no password to connect and join the network. Yes, routers generally let wireless clients access the administration features, provided they know the password (still set to default). Not every consumer even owns a wired device.
It would be pretty easy to reconstruct that and see that it's a mail delivery route. Especially all the time it spent in post offices and shipping depots.
You don't have to be using maps. Location data is used for all sorts of behind the scenes functionality (updating Google Now, Showing Android Pay cards for store locations you're in, etc.).
A) hack into the Internet back-end routers; or B) physically colocate on your private network
Or just compromised DNS on your router. There are an awful lot of vulnerable router firmwares out there still in common use.
Such an attack would need to connect to the local wifi, spoof ARP packets of the router at your particular device, spoof ARP packets of your device at the router, and interpose itself.
You give coffee shops too much credit. Log into router after getting on free wifi, because the username and password are still set to the factory default. Change default DNS servers handed out on DHCP to your external host. No need to spoof anything.
For that matter, if the coffee shop has a lower power AP, you can just bring in a discreet high-powered AP and use the same SSID. Laptops will just connect to the highest powered signal with the same SSID. Instant MITM.
Roku. Universal Remote. You might have to get an IR remote for the Roku elsewhere to program the universal, since they don't ship with them anymore (they come with bluetooth remotes but still have IR receivers).
Basically your only choice is to get an HDMI video recorder and an illegal HDCP stripping device and have MythTV change channels on your cable box over IR (or firewire if that's still an option for remote control).
If you put up an antenna (attic or even hidden on a wall behind the TV depending on where you are), you can get an HDHomerun and get the experience going again with HD local channels with no DRM.
There is no price difference. It's a selling point to get consumers who don't care about picture quality to actually buy a little nicer TV. Or at least it was, now it's a selling point brand vs. brand.
Either way, I wouldn't use any of that. It's about as fun as using a cable box (and just as fast, too). I'll stick to my Roku.
Mini Displayport can output HDMI-compatible signal. It doesn't have to be HDMI 2.0 to work with HDMI - it's backward compatible - but Mini Displayport to HDMI adpaters do handle 4k.
The first thing I would do if I was in that situation is figure out who owned the supermarket. They don't want to be used as public parking and I'd bet the landlord would be getting a letter from a lawyer soon after. I mean, I'm sure they wouldn't have tenants towed since that would hurt their image.
Had a problem with a bathroom fan failing. When I asked them to do something about it, they never returned any of my calls. I just came home one day to find that the entire apartment smelled of WD-40. Had to open all the windows in 90 degree weather and leave home for the night.
Most property managers think they are above the law
Agree with this. When I still lived in an apartment, I came home one evening to find a note on all the doors saying that the parking lot would be repaved the following morning and that anyone not gone by 7:30 AM would be towed. No alternative parking offered. Less than 18 hours notice - and some people weren't home but left their car behind.
When my wife called to tell them how unprofessional it was, they cursed at her and said they own the place and can do whatever they want (which is so far from true). On the phone, they said we could park at the apartments across the street, which they also owned. But they really don't have any excess parking and there is no street parking anywhere near that neighborhood.
Slashdot Mirror
Still close to none.
They can't arrange for Google to lose it, can they? Bring it to court yourself and don't leave it up to the prosecution.
You've never left a phone at home to charge?
leaving it at home IMPLIES you're at home

Everywhere you've been if you have Location History turned on:

If it's at home, it's a pretty weak alibi.
On the other hand, if you're more likely to be falsely accused than actually commit a crime.... You might come out ahead by outsourcing your alibi.
For watching video content. Are you oblivious to the subject matter here?
Right. This would assume that their router had been hacked via the previous PC and was already running the attack.

Yes, that is an option, but it's almost never possible, because it's pretty rare to see copy-freely. Though you might get locals that way.
And how much is a 42" or 50" monitor?

Generally, I don't want their help fixing things.

In order for one person to rent something, another person has to own it.
