Remember, HOAs have nothing but contract law to support them, and must abide by ALL of your local laws. Many places have laws about who can install solar panels, and the HOA has to abide by this.
Caps do fail occasionally regardless, usually from heat or being overloaded. It's possible they had a batch of cheap caps, or that your experience was with a model or models that were poorly designed (using underspecced caps), but most of their caps were not made with the stolen formula.
That's something different - you're saying "Let's not go to the game, it sucks there". Whether it airs on TV does not affect whether you will go to the stadium.
Most of the major news sites now have an autoplaying video on almost every story. Once they add the playlist, it'll be just like a TV channel, and just as useless.
I just found out that my provider (TWC) includes the local broadcasts (and a few more, like TBS) even though I have NO TV service from them, just standard internet. Not sure how much more is there, I only found out when troubleshooting my internet connection.
The stackability as a selling point on these always struck me as odd. Being a consumer-grade piece of equipment, it's not going to be deployed in a very large environment. Even in a large deployment, it's only going to be stacked with a couple of switches, so having the others sitting next to it is unlikely to be a big deal. Especially since, if it's a large deployment, it's still probably in a (large) residence, and is going to be stuffed in the basement anyway.
I have the RT-N16, and I've had it for 3.5 years. Previously, I had the WRT54GL running Tomato. I have a media box, streaming videos wirelessly through a file server, which is connected via gigabit cable. I upgraded for Wireless-N (to the media box) and the built-in gigabit ports (to skip using a switch)
Before I begin, I want to say that this router has been great for me, but I have noticed several issues, which may be limited to my specific unit. Also, I do not use the USB at all, so I don't know about them.
1) The power cord does not fit properly. It's loose, and if I move the equipment, it will power off. This is only an issue when I move it, so it's not really an issue.
2) The very first thing I did when I got it, was to flash Tomato. I do not know what version, but I believe it was the only version at the time to support this model. This was a nightmare, requiring daily reboots when the wireless stopped working. Wired always worked fine, and I could even use the web UI to reboot the router, and get wireless going again
3) After the above, I installed DD-WRT, which worked quite well for several years. However, it, too, began to have wireless issues. Nothing as severe as when it had Tomato, but bad enough that it wasn't just a freak occurrence.
4) At this time, I'd heard that the stock firmware had gotten much better (the UI was certainly better), so I decided to try that. I ran on that for about a year, no stability problems whatsoever. The only reason I stopped using this, was because of the god-damned error redirect page, which could not be disabled.
5) Last week, I looked into AsusWRT. This is a modified version of the stock firmware, with a few extra features. I installed the Merlin build, and disabled the redirect page. I have not had a single problem with it since, but it's still too new for me to say for sure.
I have noticed that nearly every decent router review places Asus at or near the top, and has for quite a while. I believe the N66 was widely considered top dog, until the AC68 took over.
To expand on this, most of the cheap units do NOT do power smoothing, they work more like surge protectors are supposed to. As long as the input power is in the acceptable range (which is something like 90-180V) all it does is pass it along.
A good UPS will do something to clean up the power, all of the time. APC calls theirs Automatic Voltage Regulation, but is not found on the cheap units
The entire point of a CA is trust. Using a non-trusted CA would actually be a step backwards. Even worse would be convincing people that manually installing a cert for a random website is a good idea.
Besides, I do believe that every single major browser now includes dire warnings if you go to a site with a cert from a non-trusted source.
Certs are cheap. A quick Googling reveals a number of options for under $50/year
The much bigger factor is the "no warning" part. Something like this should be announced well in advance, so anyone affected can make arrangements. Microsoft has Patch Tuesday, so everyone can be ready in case their updates bork something. Disabling an entire platform (PPC OSX) certainly requires notice.
(I'm trusting the summary; it's possible they did announce it, but people didn't see or listen to it)
Don't over think it. People like government when it works for them. People dislike government when it works against them. This is true of everyone, and just about everyone can rationalize their conflicting views.
I'm more concerned about where the scans extend from here. It would be relatively trivial to include "scene release" pirated content in a similar hash group, and report it accordingly.
Even worse would be that Dropbox, Google Drive, etc starts scanning OUTSIDE of their directories, or adding new ones without asking. The only thing really stopping this is a matter of volume - hashing that many files would slow down the system too much, and uploading the hashes would take too long. Neither of these is insurmountable.
They may work for these (I haven't checked) but it's not about throughput. A USB->RS232 wouldn't help with that anyway. The main issue is timing, but here's a discussion about several more issues that pop up with these adapters.
Some people need a real serial port (for various reasons), and these adapters are not (always) suitable replacements.
Your Verizon iPhone (A1429) supports LTE bands 1, 3, 5, 13, and 25. It does not support AWS.
T-Mobile uses LTE bands 2, 4, and 12. They also use AWS,
Your iPhone may work for you, where you need it, because of the overlap, but it is not fully featured. There are areas where the T-Mobile iPhone (A1428) will work fine, and yours will not.
That's only relevant if the object needs to be (or can be) lifted with that motion. If it needs to be lifted in a different way, it will involve different muscles. This motion is especially difficult for most people. Again, if a twist is needed, that is also going to be a problem.
It should also be noted that OSHA's sister agency recommends no more than 35 lbs. This doesn't mean most people can't do it, but that it's far more likely to lead to injury, especially if done frequently..
That really depends on how the weight's being lifted, i.e. what muscles are being used. Lifting with the knees? No problem. Outstretched arms? Difficult. Involving twisting? Risk of injury.
It was never a strict requirement. They did only allow a gmail (or similar) address to become a Google account, though. Using Android without a Google account was very limiting, but it could be done.
The only time (aside from this thread) I've even encountered the name, is when I see that it's been updated on my Android devices. I just did some quick Googling, and it looks like it's yet another protocol, not compatible with anything else.
People use Skype. It is the default video calling app, and even gets used generically. Some people use FaceTime, but it's nowhere near as popular.
There was also a lot less concern over people keeping old versions (updates weren't released every month) back in the day.
People often demanded newer software packages, which didn't run well on older machines. As a result, the lifespan of the PC was a lot shorter, and the OS was upgraded with newer hardware. This meant the new option had a selling point, which many people do not see when they look at new versions of Windows.

Not significantly, at least not from capacitor plague.

Asus was one of the few companies that didn't have a problem with it the first time around (~2003). I'm not inclined to think they would have it now.
A more likely cause is the shitty power brick they include.

It's more of a historical note than anything. Britain had classes, such as royalty and commoners.
In the US, we are all considered equal under the law.

Fortunately for the GP, the odds are pretty high that any jury would have a few people burned by the telecoms industry.

Yes, to an extent. While there is significant overlap, one carrier's phone may not support all of the frequencies, or even technology, of another.
The easiest example of this is the different versions of the iPhone, explained here. Note the LTE bands.
They've stated as much on the show. At least, that he makes a lot more than he needs/uses.

Is there a consumer-grade router that supports IPv6, and by default has a firewall enabled that's as effective as PAT?
While I realize NAT (PAT) isn't technically a firewall, it does provide much of the same security as one.
That really depends on how the weight's being lifted, i.e. what muscles are being used. Lifting with the knees? No problem. Outstretched arms? Difficult. Involving twisting? Risk of injury.
