Disabling wi-fi on Samsung home appliances (specifically dishwasher)
  • I'm not talking about dishwashers, and only have ever mentioned wifi. I'm talking about how you're wrong that there can't be open networks. Don't change the subject just because you're wrong. You seem to have an issue with being incorrect. It's a sad look on you.

  • "Am I wrong?

    No, it is everyone else who is wrong."

    You're the meme. No router has ever required it. Yes, it's an option. But how do you think open networks exist? Do you think that magically the router will know it's in a residence and suddenly require a password?

    How do you explain the 30 million+ open networks on Wigle? https://wigle.net/stats

    Democrats who urged Biden to exit race say Harris is exceeding expectations
  • I remember that tons of people were super apprehensive to change the candidate with such little time left. I'm glad Biden's campaign didn't listen to that, because Kamala is way better in every way.

    Kamala defending Google from anti-monopoly suit by Biden-Harris administration
  • I'm not sure how Uber is relevant to Google's antitrust case, they're two different companies in two different sectors. Google does not have a ride-sharing service.

    Maybe changing the subject to something other than Google shows the cracks in this article and your motives?

    > The latest count of public EV chargers has swelled to 192,000. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, this number has doubled since the Biden administration took office and is continuing to grow at a rapid rate of 1,000 new chargers every week.

    > Along with the announcement comes the awarding of $521 million in grants to further expand charging access across the U.S. highway system. This includes 29 states, the District of Columbia, and two Federally Recognized Tribes—a total of 9,200 new EV charging ports.

    > "The Biden-Harris Administration has been clear about America leading the EV revolution, and thanks to the historic infrastructure package, we’re building a nationwide EV charger network to make sure all drivers have an accessible, reliable, and convenient way to charge their vehicles," said U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg. "The awards that we’re announcing today will build on this important work and will help ensure that the cost savings, health and climate benefits, and jobs of the EV future are secured for Americans across the country."

    > The growth rate is rather impressive, actually. In mid-January, the U.S. government reported more than 169,000 chargers were deployed and online, meaning a 14% growth in just seven months. The number of chargers deployed weekly has also grown by 11%—from 900 to 1,000—during the same period.

    www.seattletimes.com Shooting settlement will ban Olympia police from decorating equipment

    The city of Olympia agreed to end the practice of police personalizing their equipment, meaning they will soon no longer be able to display symbols like the “thin blue line” flag.

    > In a settlement reached with the family of a 37-year-old Black man shot and killed by Olympia police in 2022, the city will pay $600,000 and has agreed to ban officers from the “personalization” of their equipment, effectively bringing to an end the display of polarizing symbols like the “thin blue line” flag.

    > Details of the unusual settlement of a wrongful death tort claim filed by the family of Timothy Green were announced by lawyers Monday.

    > The agreement also requires that Olympia Police Chief Rich Allen, his deputy and assistant chiefs and the four officers involved in Green’s death complete state training “on the historical intersection between race and policing.” Furthermore, the city agreed to demands that all Olympia police officers receive more training on crisis intervention.

    > As part of the settlement, the police department is required to update its policy within one year to broadly prohibit officers from decorating their equipment, no matter the subject matter, rather than banning any particular symbols. During the fatal encounter with Green, officers had displayed Blue Lives Matter emblems and a sticker reminiscent of the “Don’t Tread on Me” flag.

    > The trainings and policy changes were required by Green’s family members, who were prepared to file a federal civil rights lawsuit against the city if their demands weren’t met, the lawyers said.
