Were they threatening to remove the app from the store? Telegram should offer a separate app via sideload that is uncensored. Also, are the Telegram rooms hosted in the US? Why do they have to abide by US Laws?
I'd have expected Reddit to have been up near the top... a lot of popular (and unpopular) subreddits have pushed and stickied the battleforthenet link.
I wonder if Linux, and companies using Bit Torrent legally could sue the FCC for damages if they were to try this bullshit. Furthermore, why don't they also block HTTP/HTTPS since most trackers are running websites? Just totally nuke the internet altogether - it's clearly all bad news!
Yup - I get a ton of this crap... often times its receipts. Sometimes it's people on Gumtree asking if I'm still interested in their item, which is funny because I'm not even from AUS.
So they're shutting down cable companies and the major hollywood studios that don't want to get with times? Because this sounds more like they're going after sites that try to serve content without all the bullshit... and those sound more like solutions TO the problem.
Because none of them are actually specialists. There's very little training, and like their first level support, they're left with whatever documentation they're given, with no ability to gain true hands-on experience with the product(s) they're supposed to be supporting. The entire customer service industry is broken... The front lines don't get paid enough to give a shit, and they've got so much access to personal data. It's scary.
'We'll get you eventually. I don't know if I really understood the consequences of what I was saying, because [of] the unintended consequences of a network when it grows to a billion or 2 billion...
It just goes on into forever...
Also - does the term "social media" make anybody else cringe like nails on a chalkboard? The term sounds so fucking stupid.
The Philippines' business process outsourcing (BPO) industry is an economic lifeline for the Southeast Asian nation
Their country actually survives by giving really shitty tech support... and they don't even need to raise the bar because there's never been a push to do it. I've never understood why companies that outsourced didn't force these places to at least offer service. It's usually like talking to a brick wall, but worse.
The entire stock market seems to consist of a bunch of morons that have no idea what they're backing, but just want some money, based on charts they've seen. This was especially hilarious when the fuckwits jumped to Nintendo stock when a game by Niantic and The Pokemon Company became super popular. It's also pretty evident when you watch "investors" on shows like the Shark Tank.
Bitcoin has some chance at catching on, but not until major retailers start using it. I mean, the money we use right now isn't what it used to be... it's not gold-backed like it once was. And it's not like it holds any actual value outside of a hunk of metal/paper that you can trade.
It's interesting that they're blaming Russians... I would have thought the breech occurred due to a hole in security - either a system or a person. But I guess then you'd have to accept that you done goofed.
Facebook NudeProtect by Facebook Inc. [invisible unicode here]. Just a simple interface where users can upload their nudes to have them scanned by FB... could even include some fake Hollywood-looking scans and jargon, followed by a "destroying image" blurb. Nothing bad will come of this idea FB has.
We need something as open as Android w/o the marketing bullshit mixed in. Android is by far the superior OS, but the fucking security issues are too huge to ignore.
I'm not sure what they think they're accomplishing by treating their employees like slaves. There may be an initial boost to productivity, but that's quickly going to fall. I assume most people will just start using their phones or finding other ways to distract themselves over time. This guy is an absolute moron.
Far better social interaction in an office than at your house. Plus you can actually separate your work from your home. I suppose if the team you work on sucks working from home might make sense, though.
Sure - just guarantee me that there will be no advertisements in this package, and that I have full access to any of the programs on any of the channels at any time after they've aired, with the ability to watch them as many times as I'd like. That's how you get people to buy a service. We're sick of buying advertisement packages with TV shows sprinkled in that we can only watch when the company wants us to watch.
reveal the true gap between what IT thinks, and what's really happening
IT tries to implement decent security, then Management cries because they can't handle remembering 4 different passwords and refuse to purchase licenses for password management software.
Fair assessment. There's nothing I hate more than having to try to clean up shitty macros created by Excel. So much unnecessary shit... it's like using Frontpage (or whatever the hell it's called now) to create a WYSIWYG website. What should only take one line of code to do suddenly takes 5+ lines.

Maybe if Net Neutrality in the US gets tanked, the internet will be too slow for this data to make its way back home.

Also advertisements (including unskippable "promotions"), needless menus and bonus content, etc.

No way. He wasn't behind nearly enough proxies by the sounds of it
Holy fuck - the bot is actually more coherent than the scammer.
Maybe they're going above and beyond and spreading a patch to all the other computers that are still affected.

Either: A) You drive a BMW, or B) You've never been in a car behind a BMW.
If you can work from home, you can be replaced by cheaper workers. Just remember that.
Huh, fire issues? I thought maybe they'd accidentally built 1 million cars with functional signal lights.
