I find this trend to disregard every action as “not enough to matter” to be tiring.

Unless such a reply contains specific actions to take in place of what is reported, then I basically consider them propaganda for the existing powers to encourage further inaction.

Backseats of cars? This is the UK not Florida.

I use up3foe torrenting, but Tor for porn. It’s fine.

Probably not, since I’m a vegan.

My understanding is that you can replace the ZigBee firmware with Threads firmware if you want.

In practice range seems to be a few kilometers, in places with lots of nodes.

A nonce is jargon in cryptography. It means a random unique value used to make it impractical for an attacker to guess in a protocol.

Very sunny places, like Los Vegas.

I use uBlock Origin and didn’t see any ads at all. Although the site did pop up and ask for money since it detected the ad blocker.

I honestly don’t know how people browse without an ad blocker. 😬

Or the Obama administration.
