They are, both internally and externally, but not how partisan hacks are attacking the problem. No matter what, it takes evidence provided in a court to prove someone's guilt. Let's have that first.
To say the least a lot of countries tried to interfere. The President of Mexico did. The Prime Ministers of the UK and Canada did. The UK Parliament also did. You can go back and find the media's coverage of the hostile rhetoric broadcast via American media companies that was certainly intended to interfere with the election process by influencing uncertain voters. It's the same thing as astroturfing and our American media partook in collusion with those countries on purpose knowing how the American people are influenced. Like Mika on MSLSD said, they are the ones who are to tell us what to think.
I'm sorry, but unless you have evidence to submit to the public so that we can hear and judge for ourselves then it is just more propaganda. I'm not going to just take it that these are secret matters and that we shouldn't be allowed to know it while accepting the judgment of some very questionable individuals some of whom are quite obviously deep state. Show us, let us hear the trial, let us see the evidence, and if we conclude they are guilty then so be it, otherwise it's just more propaganda. It's more like Mueller trying to extend his tenure. The last bit of indictments resulted in the accused fighting it and we are finding the weaknesses in the claims.
I guess I did hear about the $40,000 paid in ads before the election and the $60,000 paid after, sure. I did read some of the media campaigns that weren't really media campaigns rather they were mostly muted whimpers for attention. Moreover there were significantly greater number of news pieces claiming Trump was this or that. I heard about Hillary's breaking of the law (I was in the military and I had a security clearance), I heard all about how she didn't do this or that when in reality what she did was break the law.
Hillary lost because people would rather have a scoundrel than a criminal in office. I turns out that the scoundrel isn't such a scoundrel afterall.
I'm being facetious but...do you mean there are sites that are passing email over port 25 instead of using tls over port 465? Yeah I've heard that 465 isn't a standard and was used briefly but it does work. Starttls on port 587 works but I'd like to see a mandate where everyone is force to use tls.
We might think this is an issue for Google or the other big email aggregators, and we might see it somewhat an issue for big corporate, and there's a slight possibility it will affect moderately sized entities, but for the majority which is what we really should be considering that's not an issue.
Podcasts will arbitrarily stop. Apple will say you are no longer subscribed. Who cares if I'm subscribed. I'm listening to podcasts. I don't need to be subscribed. Finding the podcast you were listening to in their online app is time consuming.
I only use iTunes because I have an airport device in the bathroom that I can use to listen while getting ready for work. There's nothing like taking a shower and half way through the podcast just stops.
This is a logical fallacy. The key to the fallacy is the word Americans. It indicates that all Americans that disagree view themselves as non-leftists.
Obviously this is identity politics calling itself out. There are some americans that disagree with some people and they call those that they disagree with right wing and white supremacist and racist.
There are racists and supremacist people on both sides. There are women that think they are the superior gender. There are blacks that think they are a superior race. The same goes for whites and males.
You proved you participate in identity politics while condemning identity politics.
They are saying that we non Facebook users are being tracked so they can provide us services that we don't use? They are saying that they are tracking non Facebook users to protect their security? All of us need to be tracked so they can be secure? Improving services by collecting data on users that don't use their site? They violate our privacy so that they can provide stuff to other users in order to make a profit?
Total bullshit meant to confuse and mislead based on the writer's own bigotry.
An example of the opposite is that liberals will lie to you even when it is completely obvious they are lying to the point that you lie to yourselves about everything and where a conservative will see they are lying and will tell you to wait till they have enough influence to change it.
A centrist will say both are full of shit and to prosecute all crimes committed by the politicians.
A liberal says don't punish my crimes while I'm a politician and a conservative says I won't punish you because you'll punish me. A centrist says punish them for every crime and that punishment must happen because it matters.
The iPhone comment is highly disingenuous to the point of self aggrandizement. He wants to sell you more so he's saying we made a highly addictive product and in reverse psychology he is saying buy more.
The guy that proposed subscription models as the answer is even more so off the mark as his will result in some super rich entities that collect massive amounts of data (like Facebook does now) while lesser entities struggle. That's massively disillusioned.
The only solution is to start businesses that consult and train consumers to implement tools and procedures to stop the collection in its tracks. Not for selling to businesses that collect but to the consumer gaining support services to dead-end collection at their internal network.
Mac addresses can be changed or spoofed. I just had a thought to make a note to look up programs that will spoof/rotate the Mac address. However, some devices can't be spoofed, such as the cable modem.
There is no law of collusion on the books. It wasn't only a Fox news lawyer. It was also a Democrat named Alan Dershowitz. He happens to be a Democrat. Further the statute/law that gives the special prosecutor their authority requires that a specific crime be precisely outlined in his mandate, which never happened.
Basically Trump could collude with the Russians outright in public before and after the election and he'd be legally a entitled to do so. He might not be wise but he'd not be breaking any laws.
Hillary outright colluded with the Russians when she hired Fusion GPS to create the dossier. She further colluded when her campaign member met with the Ukrainian government official to get dirt on Trump.
Obama clearly colluded when he was caught on an open mic saying that he would have more room to work with them after he was elected.
The point is that the narrative being fed to to hard working Americans over the news broadcasts is slanted showing the agenda of those entities. They are irresponsible bordering on sedition as the Meuller investigation stated Trump is not the subject of a criminal investigation and hence there is no longer a need to have him. Further at least one congressional comittee stated outright that there was no evidence found of collusion nor any other crime by Trump.
Trump survived the witch-hunt and so everyone should get used to the fact that he'll be the president for a total of 8 years.
The government operates like the military. Technically there is no feigning ignorance.
If I accidentally made copies of classified information or destroyed data ordered to be maintained I would be arrested, charged, and jailed and then discharged under less than honorable conditions.
Hillary grossly mishandled classified data. People under her authority acted on her behalf. Of course she should be jailed. What she did was serious and had real consequences.
Other interviews clearly indicate that he is speculating as with almost all of what he said.
Someone began this thread with a conspiracy theory re:Trump having a tie to the Russians through this. The craziness of that is phenomenal.
This is pretty simple. Russia is a big country. There is going to be a good number of people that live there that have the same notions about what they can do with data that others have done. In Russia there are large businesses. There are all sorts, just like in America. To assume that no one else could have done this is pure ignorance.
Obama had the data of virtually every American that used Facebook during his last administration. Maxine Waters pronounced this miraculous and even warned all others including Democrats that they'd have to contend with Obama's database. Another TED like event had a woman give a speech where she clearly said Obama had a database covering all Americans and stated a fear that this was bad as it could adversely affect elections and was particularly bad because the Republicans did not have it.
So now tell me what the fuck this guy is talking about? Russians have collected data on Americans through Facebook due to how Facebook does business? Tell me people in the US and other nations do not have data on people outside their nation.
This isn't a Trump issue. The trust of all Facebook users has been violated.
Don't let the media not the Facebook PR people fool you. Even if you did t have an account it doesn't mean that Facebook doesn't have a profile on you. If you hadn't heard, if you have friends and family with the Facebook app on their phone they collected info on you and created shadow profiles. If you read the leaked Facebook memo you'll read a reference to that... Collecting contacts info... If you haven't actively been fighting for your privacy by using technology a d techniques to block the collection you need to be aware that Facebook has lots of info on you.
I never log in to Google services. I turn off as much tracking as possible using things like the pihole. I have my own email server and locally host much of the infrastructure that the normals rely on Google for. I use vpns running in the router (pfsense). I use fake names for most things. I use a dedicated GPS in my vehicles. I stopped using Google for everything a few years ago. There's virtually nothing that Google offers that you can't provide for yourself.
It uses less power than it consumes? This makes no sense. It doesn't power everything with renewable energy but buys more renewable energy than it uses. It buys renewable energy but doesn't use it all? What the hell happens to the energy it buys but doesn't use?
First you cannot play from the speaker that is streaming to a Bluetooth speaker. I think that should be obvious to all of us. Even cell phones with blue headsets do not play through the cell phones speakers and the Bluetooth speakers at the same time.
With that said what Google expects for groups is to group thread minis. Then pair one to the Bluetooth speakers and then stream to the group. Sound will come from one mini and the other grouped device will be streaming to the Bluetooth speakers. If you have two minis and two Bluetooth speakers (like me) then put both minis in a group, pair each mini to one each of Bluetooth speakers, then stream to the group. Sound will come from both Bluetooth speakers.
We all know Google is tracking everyone. The smart ones know how to minimize this. We use ad blockers and anti tracking tools on our computers. The more experienced of us know to use location wide blocking through devices such as a raspberry pi running pi-hole. Some use the features of pfblockerng on pfsense routers to do mostly the same thing. This is for our protection, the protection of our and our family's (including our children's) privacy. We know that giving up this opens us up to a plethora of other losses, such as the expectation of privacy that the 4th amendment provides -- for online services that more and more of us rely on. We know that any of our data voluntarily (knowingly or not it seems) that is on a 3rd party's servers is not protected. We see this with cell tower data, etc. Let's just say that I order to remain protected without the need to be an attorney, or hire an attorney to check which part is covered and which part isn't, is more easily handled by blocking this stuff at our devices at the locations that we have control over.
Here is the problem. If you block on your Android device access to servers that Google is using to track you then this feature does not work. You cannot access the default speaker settings for the device. If you disable the blocking the options in the Google home magically appear. Enable the blocking and those options disappear. If you disable the blocking then institute the default speaker and begin playing then when you loose contact with that speaker while the blocking is enabled you cannot reconnect to the default speaker.
This is what I have noticed in the Google home app running on my Android tablet.
This brings up a serious ethical question. Is it ethical and legal for Google to block features of apps and hardware if you have already purchased the hardware and you are trying to protect your privacy?
I found how to do it. In the device settings of the home app, you don't pair with a Bluetooth device from the device instead you select the device then choose to select the "default speaker" and then there should be a Bluetooth pairing option. Scan and choose. If you have two different bt speaker setups you can pair to both but be prepared for multiple attempts before they show up.
I tried numerous ways without success. I'd guess I'm missing something. I've updated all the apps, etc. No pairing devices are available. I can pair from the tablet to the bt device but the home app shows no devices to pair with. Hence no groups can be made and no default speaker can be set that is Bluetooth.
