In a best-case scenario, imagine how much profits your upcoming product w͟o͟u͟l͟d͟n͟‘t͟ get if it didn’t create any buzz in the media.

Contracted by Apple? You can probably get away with hiding the Pope in Taylor Swift’s closet.

Also Roku live tv has commercial breaks.

On a related note, the Samsung live tv app now runs javascript during its commercial breaks. It locks\disables about ten buttons on your remote so you are forced to wait or “interact” with the commercial.

I expect as Roku grows they’ll soon pick up that feature.

A very specific type of data center called a scaleable private data center – mainly used by one entity, one private purpose, designed to be infinity sized-up. Not to be confused with other valuable purposed data centers. Some examples include…

• telecommunications public sector (911, gov’t, schools, local tv & radio)
• telecommunications private sector (global phone, tv, radio, satellite uplinks)
• internet services (aws, cdn, db, backends)

You can generally tell which is which. A properly planned civil infrastructure takes years or decades to plan. The other is a rush “fly-by-night” build.

Co-ops, unions, small businesses are very beneficial many-fold. The disconnect from those benefits happens when a bigbox entity imparts people with sticker shock, or bargains, or lowest price guarantees. It’s not just a peoples’ will – it was will\choice becomes hidden or removed when bigbox puts down too many big roots.

I believe painful will be the transition because it will be long-drawn and painfully slow, to bounce back. Reasoning example- “…too many people are happy with what they have”.

“Accidental spider release plagues nearby town. ‘Nobody wants to fall asleep anymore’, says citizen.”

Switch routing is network hardware that manages only one side\subnet\layer of clients – it’s like one layer of an onion will only ever see the next layer.

This reddit thread cites a real-world parent’s example of packet inspection solutions…

Correct. A (non-admistrator) user of a Android cannot disable software. This too also applies to a Windows Limited user.

Pi-Hole + packet inspection + whitelisting + switch routing = universal lockdown against every known form of data obfuscation. This is now a server machine.

Windows has Limited User account, Family Safety in the control panel, and a advanced Firewall. 3rd party Net Nanny was\is a net filtering\alerting software that had visiting-server-side support in case the kid knew how to onion route or obfuscate a url or ip.

Androids can install firewall software like PersonalDNSFilter, AdGuardDNS, or RethinkDNS (the premium version creates for you a custom dns server – no software needed.
Androids have profiles built-in, that act like windows user accounts.

Pi-Hole is a hardware thing you attach to your network.

There should be plenty more.

Yup. This. I’m in California and this is not even a topic. This is not even in the local news. It’s as quiet as: the bullet train project, the gigantic water pipeline for the south project, the drought solution, the power grid solutions, etc. But, boy, the amounts of money that it blew thru.

The best analogy I’ve heard for this, to help understand why it’s a ‘null’ {i need a better word here} topic was said as… "Parents to be doing the parenting, versus, a government doing the parenting and unbeknownst applies it to everyone ". And it is speaking of widely available tools that are already available such as parental controls in routers, devices, etc.

The analogy discounts “little hackers” or minors that intentionally will break laws to get what they want; in which then no “age verification” service (made by anyone) will work in practice.

Zuck: Let’s refire-up and overclock Rancho Seco.

Theory. Meta will pre fill-up their housings with overseas students\programmers. Try and get them to play and spend their money in downtown.

High chance it flops. Rich kids live and go where they please. At the first sign of boredom, they’ll fiip, sublet, or AirB&B it just to not be in downtown.

Imagine it… a SMUD+ subscription, pay extra to opt-out of more rolling blackouts; because the server farms will be evermore thirsty.

Sacramento (the state-side of it) is entertaining plans going in the opposite direction of New Jersey. A recent deal wants to let Meta in here on the promise: they’ll build some affordable housing, they’ll refurbish some old state buildings (for Meta use), and something for the local college. The reaction here is {bear looking sideways meme}.

Bets on where the surprise ai data center will be?

Don’t give up. Keep it growing!

A pic from a Fb post…

I bet a guy suggested OFFaiCE and they prolly said “that’s confusing”.

When you ask the copilot to do a 365…

In 2024, in the eyes of Microsoft, they saw a demand for A.I. (from who or where, is another rabbit hole). And Microsoft bought a 20 year nuclear power contract. So 20-30 years from today that spent nuclear fuel is fuck that humans will have for infinity; instead of 100% of that nuclear power to have used for any other purpose (cities, battery charging, hospitals, food production, etc)… absolutely anything other than A.I.
Yup, so your answer is in the bottom of that rabbit hole, and it isn’t a logical one.
