    Nowhere on earth is 20,000 miles away. The earth is less than 25,000 miles in circumference.
    Good to see the American education system at work.

    Name one country that won't confiscate your device and deny you entry if they want to search it.

    If you refuse to cooperate with customs, you'll be denied entry. Being denied entry will make it extremely difficult to ever get back in.
    It's not a "$5k entry fee" it's a "$5k fee, be denied entry to the country and have your device confiscated for forensic examination"

  5. I for one, aren't mourning the loss of your immigration.

  6. Not to mention them denying you entry to the country. That's going to mean you'll have a harder time getting in to any other country in the future.
    They'll put you on a list they share with their friendly nations and immigration will get notified of the other countries you've been denied entry to.

  7. It's one of the ways they're trying to get the cost of housing down, by limiting the number of people who want to live here with their stupid policies.

  8. Yes. Smart people don't try and smuggle things across borders. They pay stupid people to do it for them.

    Non-Intel network adapters should be fine, but I'm not a security researcher so don't take my advice.
    A hub or switch don't stop it, as it's TCP/IP. You could configure your router to block it, but that won't stop anything on the same subnet.

    Apparently it can even cause problems by intercepting legitimate packets if your OS chooses one of the AMT ports as the source port. It's not in the ephemeral port range though, so it shouldn't conflict.

    Having to fight the steering wheel on dodgy road surfaces is called "tramlining"
    It's a combination of wheels, tires and suspension geometry that causes it. The front wheels follow cracks in the road surface.

    macOS isn't free. Neither is iOS
    If you think it is, can you tell me where I can legally purchase it to install on non-Apple hardware?

    Same goes for PS4's OS and non-Sony hardware. Switch and non-Nintendo hardware.

    Those OS's are all bundled with a hardware purchase and not available for purchase on their own.

    It worked well with cane toads in Australia.

    They even provide entertainment for the locals, swerving their cars all over the road to see how many they can pop.

  24. I somehow doubt an industry fueled by the likes of Uber who supported it for the sole reason of skirting minimum wage laws is going to generate higher wages.

  25. It's a race to the bottom. The more "gig economy workers" there are, the lower the rates will be.
    Instead of the traditional impact being company profit margins, it's peoples wages that are shrinking.
