A lot of companies seem to pull this shit. Went to buy a product from ba Canadian company (in Canada) on their website. Prices were in dollars but no mention of CAD or USD. I used PayPal as the last step so thankfully it told me it’d be converting currency, at which point I cancelled. If I’d tried to pay by card to directly I would likely just have been charged with no idea of the currency difference until later

One of the things it asks permission for when hooking up Bluetooth etc is “call history”, “contacts” or “text messages”

I’d assume the system needs those to read it messages or call/redial. It wouldn’t need OCR to do other things with that data

I can’t recall if I limited to Google’s IP’s or not actually. Just that I wanted to prevent their devices from ignoring the DHCP provided hosts

I setup a NAT rule that redirects anything going to the Google DNS IP’s send sends it to my own DNS server.

Does this mean gay sex between serving members or include while on any sort of leave etc.

Between members makes sense (but should apply to sex in general)

I generally only drink instant for late night decaf, though the premixed Korean instant coffee packets are a treat every hour and then

And? If I blow up somebody’s house and family with a $1,000,000 missile while they blow up mine with $150 worth of explosives, does that make one side more right?

No, both side are cooking in hatred. The bigger question isn’t “who has the better ability to kill the other side” but rather “who has the better ability to break the cycle, and what can they do towards such means”

Yeah the ones doing the oppression are those most likely to resort to violence

In a lot of cases, not even that. Look at stuff like a “raspberry Pi CM4”.

Pretty much EVERY single retailer I’ve checked in Canada is waiting on stock. You can’t get them from anyone here, period, and I’ve been on a bunch of wait lists.

Even Amazon’s stuff is coming from overseas but they do help handle logistics, currency conversion, and have some guarantee of a real product. Throw in shipping AND duties+fees and you could be paying 3x from an OOC store.

Other choice would be AliExpress, but if I receive a lump of metal with a chip glued to it at least Amazon makes it easier to get my money back.

For me, it’s simply that there’s stuff I can’t find without driving 4h to another city, and even then only maybe.

We kinda do though, we just don’t often see them as having magnets but most electric motors work on principles of magnetism.

You need those immigrants to work the low wages you won’t

Or, to put it another way: shitty corps and their govt lackeys need those pliable immigrants to work for the underpaid and abusive jobs that Canadians won’t, rather than fixing the pay and working conditions

Indian with it’s assassins and cult government…

I’ve had windows do this to me randomly before, especially if it’s an interface that comes up a bit late. Be careful that it doesn’t change back on you

That’s a great explanation of the terms. Thanks for that.

Given this, can you think of a word that would describe those who are hostile to the concept of a deity? Antitheist, perhaps?

Yeah, I don’t find any religion I’ve ever run across appealing, but I have no beef with those who do good under the umbrella of their religion and don’t try to beat on others with it.

And? You could take the same data and say- “religious persons are less likely to speak out againstmessaging that potentially promotes harm” (likely also dependent on the religious affiliation of the messenger)

The preceding message that this makes atheists the more “intolerant” group is a pretty massive reach, consider that the messaging they may be against could in itself be one of intolerance as per my example.

Also, what is the relation of “a speaker” to religion? If somebody comes in to speak and starts talking about how we need to gas more jews, stop women from voting, and put the blacks back out in the cotton fields then fuck yeah I’m gonna support cutting them off and sending them packing.

Sounds like what should be called an “open box” product to me

Have you ever used PFSense? How do you find it compares to Opnsense, and - for anyone with experience - how hard would it be to migrate from one to the other these days?
