It's funny that residential VPN botnets aren't uncommon now. "Free VPN" if you allow your computer/phone to be an exit point.

I like them too. About the only other contender I see is maybe techcrunch.

Need to set an email address and browser up only for sites that require registration.

Is there anything like a replacement? The three biggest tech sites that I traditionally love are ArsTechnica, AnandTech(rip), and Phoronix. One is dead man walking mode, the second is ded dead, and the last is still going strong.

I'm basically getting tech news from social media sites now and I don't like that.

Don't forget that a lot of US mil stuff is launched by SpaceX so in a very real way they are the prime defense contractor in space for the country. If the public offering doesn't work, Unc Sam'll bail them out. Wonder if Trump will want a stake in the company this time.

Increased supply comes in majority black and/or low-income neighborhoods here and it's "luxury" units all the way down. Gentrification is the name of the game, while simultaneously reducing social services.

In that light, this move is A-OK with me.

Don't worry, a random Ring cam will record everything. Hope my neighbor likes keeping track of me checking my mail.

I was accepted into a PhD CS program despite applying for a masters. The advisor had something on his door about the limited number of slots open for people who graduate from grad school. Tried to discourage me from the program.

Quit after two semesters.

> * The price isn't right for small businesses. These trucks are quite expensive

> * They're difficult to repair. A regular F-150 is designed to be repaired; these things are designed like iPhones to be disposable.

Add in the crap tow range and it looks like Ford upmarket, as it's known to do, and failed. Just reading these points makes me think that it was designed to fail.

He directed The Princess Bride, This Is Spinal Tap, When Harry Met Sally, A Few Good Men, and Misery. Didn't know this, but he directed a sequel to This Is Spinal Tap.

ProtonVPN stinks. Websites refuse to load and I get autobanned on Reddit etc.

Mullvad just worked everywhere. I'm going back when my year plan on Proton ends.
