I have a dedicated travel AppleTV for this. AppleTV is great at hotel captive portals (forwarding the web page to your phone). I am already logged into all my streaming apps, including my home DVR (ChannelsDVR).


Sounds interesting but I assume only if you have an iPhone and both are tied to an account?


Yes


because it would be ridiculous for police to be able to track every car everywhere it goes! (10 years ago)

Judges require warrants to put a GPS tracker on your car. Now that Flock cameras are so ubiquitous in many cities, this gives them access to the same data without a warrant.


1. Government having the data is different than private companies having the data

2. Consent

3. Accountability (e.g. A government agency needs a warrant to use your cell phone location data against you).

If you can't do four 9s, then you should do the next best thing: Four 8s!


I always say 89.9999 has five nines too!


I suppose 0.099999 does as well.


Physically lolled. Thanks for the good mood.

Some public services in Germany have 9-5 weekdays and show a message to please come back during their business hours outside of that.


B&H does this for shabbat and other high holidays. I always thought that it was kind of neat. Little over a year into a boot-strapped startup, and I’m still trying to figure out how to implement ANY boundaries in my life. I don’t know why I thought I’d feel BETTER “being my own boss” having spent so much with the guy. I hope to someday have “please come back” confidence.


OWM constantly shows the high temp 10 degrees higher than actual on warm days. I emailed them.. 2 years ago? to notify them of this, they said they know... It's still a problem. Santa Clara, CA.
