Yes, most people have the expectation that the carrier is not actively snooping on their conversations.

Its weird that almost every AI generated blurb tends to have that. Usually followed by "Its not just X, its Y". I wonder where they picked that up from.

Can't you take a trip to France and shop tax free? That would shave off around 25% of the price.

It was Australian regulations. The EU was happy to do nothing and keep letting us get ripped off.

In Finland bike lanes are on the sidewalk and cyclists have to respect pedestrian traffic signals. Its the safest solution for everyone, in my opinion.

They somehow cut off the ability for him to pay rent for his current studio, so he's moving to another one at the end of this month. He's also switching his domain from infowars.com to alexjones.network. Apparently that site and thealexjonesstore.com are owned by a third party so it can't be taken as part of the bankruptcy case. The people suing him also want to claim his likeness entirely but that's unlikely to make it past the 13th amendment. He also claims that Michael Bloomberg is bankrolling the entire case against him.

>Averaged across the general student population, there was no statistically significant correlation between a school’s spending levels and its students’ academic performance in 27 of the 28 academic indicators used in the model. In the only category that did show a statistically significant correlation — seventh-grade math — the impact of spending more was very small.

I think he's referring to the SEPA network, which isn't really an alternative to credit cards. I've only seen it used to pay for rent and bills. Theoretically there's SEPA Instant payments, but I've never seen any merchants that use it.

At this rate, I'd say we have less than a year before world governments simultaneously start rolling out laws making Linux illegal. Of course they won't call it "The Ban Linux Bill" but it will be back-channeled through some bullshit security or user verification requirement.

Wifi has been working out of the box for close to 20 years now. On some computers with old Broadcom cards, you have to enable non-free drivers. What model are you using?
