So, a monitor?

You don't get that there's the equivalent of multiple entire RF spectrums in every fiber ?

Wireless last-mile always seemed like a false argument against municipal fiber on behalf of very profitable wireless carriers

The dirty secret of 5G is that they have to run fiber to every street corner anyway just to backhaul the very-short-range base stations.

For a marginal additional cost, you can run it down the street to every house, and consumers aren't forced into a artificial-scarcity "purchase by the gigabyte" scheme run by wireless carriers.

Maybe it's that the primary discovery mechanism is YouTube's parent company? hmmmm

The US government can't put MP4 files on a web server?

Oh, awesome excuse. Carry on!

What the hell is SRE?

LocalBitcoins pinged me and said I need to establish 2FA or move my funds due to an inactive account,

I wonder if they finally swept all those inactive accounts out.

I started using it back in the $50 days, so some thousands of bitcoin may have been a lot less of a deal when they got deposited

"Broadcast" is defined as "transmissions for the consumption by the general public", at least in the US. Not one-way vs two-way.

Race-to-the-bottom thinking, poor ethical reasoning, and just an excuse to engage in behavior frowned upon by the community.

HAHAH no. "Emergency" is clearly defined and doesn't mean "can't reach my ATM". Executing your bitcoin transaction does not save life or limb.

Usenet is the answer to the distributed discussion forum problem. We need to breathe life back into it.
