I once received a waterproof watch which was shipped in a container of water.
If Samsung could create packaging that contained canvas shopping bags, it would be good. Organic stuff like paper is just one more carbon dump I'll recycle or burn in the backyard.
if you used any of these. I think I still have a BookFace account. I log into it once in a while to check to make sure my friends aren't dead. Inst and WA? Never signed up for either. F BookFace and it's analytics.
Yes, this true for me using a Roku. There is no power-off button/command and when you turn your TV off, you Roku continues streaming. For something like a Netflix movie at least it will stop after the movie ends. But some shows continue to next episode. You have to remember to stop streaming before you turn off your TV and tell your family members/guests to do the same
I use a Harmony remote now (in three rooms) to send a 'Home' command during the power-off sequence. I hate source devices (Roku, Chromecast, Blu-ray players, etc.) who do not offer a direct power-off/standby command. I thought HDMI-CEC would solve the problem but it doesn't seem to and it creates a host of other problems as there are so many bad/incompatible implementations
Haven't used Apple TV in a while but I think it behaves just like Roku.
Back to the original article, yes, I have trouble staying below the 1 TB. Only two people in the house and using YouTubeTV as a service. I have to reduce video-resolution most of the time (not ideal). Cord-cutting is the reason.
You could just plug these devices into a "smart" power strip, and have the strip disable devices it detects in standby mode.
It's nice to control processes to turn out a consistent product. Well, unless it's Budweiser or Miller beer. I often enjoy a local brewery that's been in business for over 140 years, (with the exception of prohibition years) and their prices are better, and their beer (not to mention Octoberfest and bock beers) are so much better than the "Major" Breweries like BW and Miller. Especially on tap, much less in cans and bottles.
there are mice and roaches running all over the place. Or if food falls on the floor, or if the expiration date of foodstuffs which has long since passed.
So you have to monitor the cooks, and the facilities. Maybe even report when the manager is tapping a young worker on the food prep table.
Getting rid of diseases born by mosquitoes and creating proper sanitation (clean water is great too) would clear up all the malaria and cholera deaths for a start.
don't permanently solder the SIM card to the device.
Removable SIM sockets are just one more thing the manufacturer has to pay for and one more reason to let the dirty customers actually remove the backplate and install one or two SIMs./s

Politics in the US should be about what is best for the country, not some personal/political grudges or egregious self interest/self promotion.
If political parties have lost sight of that, voters should make their voices heard (loudly) If voters can't be bothered to fix this mess, they deserve their representation.

you know, just to make sure it's not going to get back up and mess with you, just when you thought it was dead but it really wasn't.
RIP(es) you red-headed stepchild of a browser that nobody will ever miss.

Let's not stop there on the excuse train. They could still import the screws and manufacture in the US.
Assemble not manufacture.
Plastic is getting expensive.

may be handy in the elimination of police high speed pursuits. They could either track or target the vehicle...
Drones could also be useful in surveillance of high crime areas that have not deployed sufficient camera coverage.
Not that anybody would ever take advantage of drones for their own personal/political gains.

or is it Gb per month by using ad blockers.
You could also do some local proxying to eliminate a ton of "fluff" that seems to be embedded in every web page nowadays.
Fortunately my ISP currently doesn't have caps (it never has) but I still block ads until the capability is pulled from my cold dead browser.

I think you can buy domains for a lot less than $25K

like blocking BookFace. Or Tumber, or Twitter.

Unfortunately, I don't host the DNS for most of my stuff.
Hopefully the dynamic DNS hosting service I use will update their software at some point.
I wanted to see Disney release their own ground breaking Marvel superclassic new idea:

All I am saying, is give fish a chance. /s
What is the point of the identical twins (other than adding click-bait value)? Why not submit two samples from the same person under different names?
They are reporters, identical twin reporters. You can't have only one of them getting credit.
of each person affected? 87 million counts, which seems like a willful violation.
Civil and criminal penalties should be applied, instead of a slap on the wrist, which would amount to a rounding error in BookFaces bottom line.
