Apple airtags I found annoying and on a few rare occasions they did not work properly …
Airtag clones, the cheap ones, never worked for me, go with originals or the more expensive clones.

The Samsung tags on the other hand have been solid and functional for me, without hassles.

I use the tags to find car keys (on rare occasions they fall from my pocket in some grass for example) they worked for luggage as well as finding a car and bike in parking areas.

For constant tracking in general I am not impressed with none of them

The US should stop saying socialism = evil communism …

One can be social towards others without giving away all of one’s personal possessions and liberties…

I was going to suggest CoD as well … the whole series is mostly a carbon copy of the previous version. Let alone the gameplay is "run for 30 seconds, die, respawn and repeat.

For some reason this brought back old old memories from the trams in Vienna.

Adding to that: Star Wars 1313

Would have been amazing to get a gritty Star Wars game with a good storyline. Star Wars Jedi:fallen order leaned a bit towards it but is not so gritty/dark.

I learned a long time ago that in the USA the packaging is always far greater than the content.
And it seems to apply to everything, be it political, to personal conversations (example: greeting someone with hey how are you, but actually getting an answer to that question is not interesting, just reply with “great, you?”). Or from people praising their city … but totally glossing over the very large populace of homeless living under bridges.
“We have the best medical care system in the world” … but that it’s only for the top 5% and the rest actually get to see/pay the insane bills is quickly ignored.
And in movies/television it is also very much present. So, yeah, I don’t expect much from the folks shouting about their amendments or hugging their guns under the pretense of fighting off a dictatorship…

I have not seen this information anywhere, it should be brought to attention more.

Everywhere it is “rioters ordered the waymos, they arrived empty and then were set on fire”.

Is that tiger sniffing her hair?

It’s also quite ironic that originally China’s low wages were seen as the core problem/reason how they could offer products so cheaply.
But the way Trump is destroying things the need for low US wages will come up again…

Alas, of course everything across the board will get more expensive with his tariffs, from vegetables, to electronics, energy and housing, so the common worker will be screwed and locked in his situation, preferably unable to go on strike.

The line of trafficking is crossed where the person is wholly dependant on the other, ie. they hold/control your passport/means of identification and finances plus are your only means of a roof over your head in an unknown area.

Close, a story like it is/was a classic on reddit, person started receiving/finding anonymous notes that over a few months spiraled downward…

Wish I had saved it or wrote down the title, was a fun read.

Interesting, it reads fine as small print on the Jerboa client.

A few weeks later she finds a note in her kitchen… “you are not alone”.

The next week a note on the fridge reads “They are watching you”.

Two days later an angrily scribbled note is found on the stairs “do not sell them your chairs!”

More notes randomly appear, sometimes in familiar handwriting other times in a wild angry scribble … “they are here at night” … “they are fondling your chairs in the darkness” … “I told you not to make a deal” … “you and your chairs will suffer”.

A week later Lorette Grace is admitted into hospital with severe CO poisoning.

Not sure if I am reading it correctly. But what ip adress is your given to your pc?

It reads to me like you have router 1 and 2 on router 1’s network but your pc is on router 2’s “internal” network… which must not be in the same 192.168.1.x range as is router 1’s network.

Put router 1 under 192.168.2.x range Then Then Router 2 with 192.168.1.x adressing should work still, and the pc should be able to talk to the router-1 network.

The result of the US elections are the tipping point either way for the whole world, and every country is awaiting what will happen.

One side drops the world in misery, from the full destruction of Ukraine and it’s people, to an intense war in the EU and the Koreas.Taiwan as a country will cease to exist, as will its chip production. Not to mention the deep scarring that will take place within the US itself where it will see the Constitution torn up. America First, but as a consequence it loses power and status everywhere else for years to come.

The other possibility is that starting in 2025 the current big worldwide conflicts will be resolved semi peacefully, a slow growth to more financial prosperity and equality sets in plus a number of billionaires will need to pay some of their taxes, but international treaties and trades will be reinforced.

I am really hoping for the latter, because if the outcome is the first, we’ll see a least a decade of chaos and economic downfall everywhere.

So, my choice is made, it will be better in 2025 <crosses fingers>
