With the editing tools we have today, I feel like it would be simple to edit that out, but I guess it’s not worth the cost.

This is already a thing at Burning Man

The discussion was about Amazon not doing that

Illegal activity was never being discussed.

Smart of them to make their spying devices a loss leader. Get even more rubes to buy one.

The fuse doesn’t matter. Those LEDs draw like 69W per 1k LEDs. You’d need about 12,000ft of lights to pass 20A

I highly doubt those LEDs are drawing over 20A in the first place. Those lights only draw like 0.2W per ft, or 69W per 1k LEDs.

You’d need nearly 35,000 LEDs, or about 12,000ft of lights to trip the breaker.

They’re not, but they are capturing all of your web traffic.

It was just expanding what the federal government is allowed to do without a warrant, but you’re right in that they were probably already doing it.

That was for government spying, not private.

Most of it is people on the same network as you searching for a thing.

Lol, what are you talking about? When was the last time the FTC ended a company over shady privacy practices?

Amazon would get a fine that would amount to like 0.001% of one day’s profits.

You might want to take your own advice, buddy.

They’d also be violating their NDA.

They’re not completely wrong, though. If the devices are phoning home when the mic is disabled, then someone would have discovered it by now. There are people who do that shit for fun, and Amazon is a big target.

Yeah, you can flush a toilet by just dumping water into it.

Yes it is. Your therapist can absolutely put you in an emergency medical hold if you talk to them about thoughts of suicide. It’s happened to thousands, if not millions of people.

But, in all honesty, the term doesn’t matter as long as it’s understood and isn’t used maliciously.

Except an internet stranger can’t send you to the grippy socks hospital if you say the wrong thing.

The funny part is that his theorem had already been discovered by an ancient civilization. I want to say the sumarians, but honestly that’s the only one I’m familiar with, so I could be wrong.
