It should be lower. This incident really put a spotlight on their claims denial rate being the highest in the industry, twice as high as industry average. A lot of customers will probably be leaving but that hit won't happen until later when the next billing cycle comes.

Prompt response and open statement about it can't ask for much more than that. D-link might just tell you to kick rocks and buy a new router.

Survey says yes, but GOG is still good.

Years ago I got my parents to switch from internet explorer to firefox by putting IE's icon over firefox...this has the same vibes. If you have someone technologically illiterate in your life who pretty much only uses the browser...yeah this idea could work.

I think if they catch him they sort of have to. It's up to the police to drag their heels investigating if they want to avoid that.

It will be interesting to see if jury nullification comes into play if he gets caught and there is a trial. Would at least 1/12 jurors refuse to convict despite the law? The main facebook post about the CEO's death has a 26-1 ratio of laughing emoji to crying emoji...

Ahh I see. By housing you just meant the screw portion of an edison socket.

I think they also prevent most CPU released before 2017ish from installing as well so computers just missing the proper TPM are few and far between anyway. You can still get around all the requirements pretty easily though.

If a live wire was touching the chassis and tripping the breaker likely because the chassis was grounded that would mean it's wired correctly though. Unless like a neutral broke off and touched the live chassis causing the overload?

Why are people acting like this is too difficult? Biden doesn't have to go through every file himself. Form a small committee of legal experts you respect and take a bite out of what you can.

Hear me out, maybe we should update pots and sms to have optional end-to-end encryption for modern implementations as well...Optional as backwards compatible and clearly shown as unencrypted when used that way to be clear.

I have a backlog of great games to play so long that I'm seeing remasters of some games on the list come out before I've played them a first time. I have no problem waiting for games to come to a different platform and go on sale.

It's default 2.5G WAN and 1G LAN. It also has wifi to use some of that bandwidth.

Hunter individually didn't really deserve a pardon for tax offenses but I can understand it. Hopefully since we're going full fuck it mode with presidential powers Biden can do something much more deserving of the powers like removing marijuana as a controlled substance and pardoning non-violent marijuana felons.

Unless I'm traveling for work I don't really want to go to the movies or restaurants alone. Living room and takeout is better.

I guess it doesn't matter at this point but it's always weird to me that opponents can't seem to acknowledge that Trump is a formidable political opponent. He's good at talking to and engaging some groups of Americans which is why he managed to win twice.

TempleOS is the rabbit hole usb.

Basic economics was not a required class in my high school. Macro and Micro Economics were both electives.

Government really should be building housing themselves though and working on the zoning laws to make building easier. Even in a free market the government should be a competitor driving prices down to fair levels.

Measures like rent control don't work because landlords are greedy. People end up staying in locations that don't fit them anymore for the rent control, landlords try to chase those tenants away and don't improve the property, new housing stops being developed and supply/demand get wrecked.

Measures like stimulus and tax rebates for first time buyers tends to increase the cost of real estate as well. It's called a demand subsidy and generally isn't a great way to tackle a supply problem. The individual home buyers will be helped at the expense of tax payer money and real estate cost - and the types of homes being bought aren't necessarily the best use of land either depending.

Restricting companies from bulk purchasing and holding real estate seems like a good idea but again when you remove that new housing, especially multi-tenant housing, stops being built. Supply goes down prices shoot up...unless of course the government is willing to personally finance and build out the supply and keep prices fair.

Honestly I don't want to give him more incentive to go full dictator by dangling a prison sentence over his head the moment he stops being president. They botched all these cases by waiting too long.

Most of the reporters I follow for sports/news have joined bluesky but not mastodon. At this point I think Bluesky is going to win the bulk of twitter exodus in the end and Mastodon will remain extremely niche.
