Trust as in how do you know jumping through those hoops stops the NSA? Maybe the use the secret courts to require a backdoor, maybe they alter the chips themselves.
The NSA etc needs a clear directive by the president and congress that this is not ok. As long as they get only a minor slap of do not do that again it will not stop.
You save to the on-board memory it's a basic function, and everything works the same in linux etc. http://support.logitech.com/en... if ya need instructions. Works fine for me when I multi boot.
I have a 10+ year old 1080 flat CRT no HDCP support hell it's got DVI not HDMI. Screen looks beautiful the whole were going to obsolete your gear because you might pirate our content BS was the last straw for me. The content got pirated anyways and pirated content plays just fine on my "ancient" TV, flankly it works better than the store content no unskippable 30 minutes of ad's and I can trans-code it for any device I care to.
So I'm supposed to by some low density read only plastic disk with a movie on it with heavy DRM. To put into a player that is beholden to the media companies who happen to have a horrid history for security.
I'll stay with downloaded content, aside from an unlikely unrecoverable raid 6 failure they content is mine and I can do what I like with it forever. No I do not want to rent your content, I do not want to have to view it on approved displays (I'm still using a pre HDMI 1080 CRT 10+ years old). I do not want to be beholden to your licencing servers allowing me to view something. I will format shift and re-encode my content as desired (thank you plex). I do not want to have to use your player app and/or use your god awful myopic library app. I will not be forced to watch your previews or use your "cool" custom menu system. I will use whatever subs I choose including the original language translation vs your horrid dub script.
If somebody will let me pay retail pricing for that, with the content I want to watch I'm happy to pay for it. Frankly even the stuff I buy for the sake of owning the dvd box set etc I never actually watch from the included media.
We did have that right early on, the anti car people (aka buggy whip association) pushed to get that snowball rolling to put ever increasing restrictions and idiotic ordinances in place.
You do not have an effective freedom to associate if you do not have the freedom to travel one requires the other to be effective.
As to how to fix it I do not have a good answer but right now the balance is off.
I split the difference I want my world to work for me. I do not want others to see me as data to be sold and traded. To that end my home automation is local, it sources data externally for weather forecasts and the like. I want the lights to come up and light the room to my preferred levels when I walk into a room. For my music choice to follow me about. For my door to unlock when I get home. I want to track my power usage with a good amount of detail, already finding that there is value in this data from spike loads changing when things turn predicting failure etc etc.
I'm already seeing that I want things to be more connected, to different levels. I want my TV to be fully IP it consumes information and gets replaced in the 10-20 year timeframe. My dishwasher or dimmer I want something secure and dumb with the brains in a smarter device. Turning something on and off and relaying sensor data does not take much local brains. I also do not want to have to replace my light switches every generation.
It's baked into the MVNO's, to my knowledge none of the MVNO's upcharge for domestic roaming.
The economics are thus Sprint etc have huge expensive retail outlets that pay layers of commission. T-Mobile is sitting about a gross profit margin of 50% Sprint a little less. Ting is reselling Sprint and soon t-Mobile and making a profit and I doubt that Sprint is selling to them at a loss.
If it takes off I can see them trying to reign back the MVNO's but that gets more complicated if the phones work with all carriers. It's really making it look like the transit bandwidth market since you have at least a handful of company's that can support the back end competing for most of the market. Sprint tries to jack the rates preference t-mobile if your big enough other carriers will deal as it's a huge chunk of revenue for them to set you up as a MVNO. To the MVNO it's a question of ranking the carriers cheapest first.
You do not need all the carriers just 2 to get roaming to all of them, Sprint and T-Mobile gets you everything.
Apple and Google seem to be coming from entirely separate directions, Apple did a deal to make it a fashion accessory and hype via the AT&T exclusive. Hell the MVNO have to fight to get apple products allowed for their use. Google fought to get one phone to rule er work with them all and undercut the carriers pricing. Sure it seems like they want your data to mine. Apple sells trendy hardware Google sells your data very different priority sets.
While not forcing them to converge Google looks to be leveraging the carrierlessness of the nexus line, where it can connect to CDMA and GSM networks simultaiously. Ting and others have already announced this feature. And it looks like more phones will support this after Google forced the carriers to allow it lest the nexus line not work on them.
I have plenty of 20 somethings that switched and cut there bills by 2/3's or more. If you want unlimited everything for a single phone republic wireless tends to be the better choice.
Google can afford to buy a network or two if they wanted, that would position them to data mine all those 20 somethings constant phone use.
Or we can just ban these idiotic things, whats next health insurance companies stapling pedometer's onto people get a lower rate?
Insurance is supposed to be about aggregating risk, the problem is the lower end of the risk pool is paying more then the out of pocket they could expect and leave the pool if they can. Auto insurance is harder to leave you have to drive (if you want to live outside an urban envirnment) and it's not optional.
Having a plan can be we have a contract with these guys to do this sort of work along with all the info they need. Along with all the paperwork and checking required.
Using a mix of zwave, nrf based mysesnors, and some x10. Vera is pretty user friendly to start up and you can use it as a modem later as it's logic is pretty weak without addons.
Zwave is great for things going into wall boxes, the logistics of getting a DIY box make it prohibitive. When you can get a dimmer for 35 ready made it's hard to put something together at that price point.
nRF bits great for sensors and more complex bits, putting together a custom device is easy and cheap.
x10 it lacks 2 way communications being required and it's error handling sucks. I had a lot of them from 15+ years back they work and I've yet to have any issues with them.
So pretty much for standard things zwave just works and looks good. nRF comes into play for custom things one off clock, switches, temp, humidity, usb charger, battery fallback, alarm, and general LCD display for the wife, controlling a rgbw strip lighting (there is a zwave option for this now), interfacing with DMX (half a universe at a time or nearly so).
ZWave as in sigma designs they seem to be trying to reign in control over zwave as it gets more and more popular and that is worry some to me.
ESP8266 is a new interesting chip at sub $4 for a module it's got wifi and a 32bit proc, so it has some nice features like a working known security model it's also got a full IP stack with all those risks. The plus side a lot more CPU umph and can piggyback on an existing network.
Around my parts they were charging more for 3rd parties to access a line than they were selling direct. Pretty much meant no meaningful competition since they also had to provision into their ATM cloud and provide transit.
That was because anybody could get into the fray. For that to happen you have to separate the last mile and transit and/or allow more players to build out. They tried badly with DSL.
As to the cutoff no idea. Move to google voices voicemail to use it as an app. And Shush will let you mute your ringer for a specific time without unlocking the phone.
A major health insurance company still runs token ring in their headquarters. Instead of putting in conduit they put token ring into the concrete. Their upgrade so far has been wifi but they are still buying token ring cards that costs more than the laptop they connect to.
What advantage does wind/solar have over fission/fusion? Radioactive waste seems to be the only downside and that is more a regulatory issue than a technical one.
Slashdot Mirror
If it's an emergency that is what the ambulance is for. Sure you can take your own car it's not suggested.
At least around me fire and police are happy to give emergency workers a ride in. Hell even seen the plow guys do ti.

Most of the affected area seems to have one.
It works, issue is SIP not really well designed for a battery powered devices.
You can just connect any of the many SIP or IAX trunk providers to software. The main issue is battery life sucks.

Why would you willingly have your kids in the public schools?
Or we can just ban these idiotic things, whats next health insurance companies stapling pedometer's onto people get a lower rate?

When the news figured out sensationalism and fear sold better than good journalism.
Why bother? Put in something like a homerun and get multiple tuners serving the whole house.
