Do they get sued? Because there is a lot of misinformation out there, and I don’t mean in the far right “fake news” sense.

Same, but include anything hosted on Google, Twitter, TikTok, or Rupert Murdoch / fake news owned servers because for me, it’s just “server cannot be found” (DNS blocking) and I move on.

I was born in the late 1980s, can I know what it is?

Edit: Looks like a game. Are we assuming everyone in a technology community cares about video games? I’m a programmer but can’t get into video games at all.

I think the part you’re missing (and others haven’t addressed) is that you don’t send 100% of your traffic to one endpoint (much like how most use VPNs). You can route different things to different places.

For example, I’m in the US and have two Tailscale exit nodes. Both are located on VPS machines in the US, but one sends traffic down a double-hop VPN back out into the US, the other does the same but to Switzerland. My “default” route is through Switzerland (better privacy laws) but I am forced to route some things through the US exit node due to websites that won’t work outside the US. For my personal devices, traffic routes directly to them via WireGuard tunnels.

In addition, my wife doesn’t care about blocking everything that I do (social media, tracking) but her phone still needs to update sensors in Home Assistant. She can choose not to use the exit nodes but can still communicate with our nodes on Tailscale. She also uses it to print documents at home from her laptop while she’s at work.

Recently I was waiting in a hospital with public (unsafe) WiFi that blocked UDP traffic, but Tailscale does some magic that will relay traffic via TLS. I was able to access services at home with a 20ms latency. The tech is very, very nice to have.

I wonder how this works in other countries because I know it’s normal to do (what we call) ACH-to-ACH transfers.

I’m actually all for speeding up ACH and using it more often (rather than P2P transfers apps), but you raise a valid concern here.

I think I’m talking about the speakers and codecs themselves. I always try them in the Apple Store with high hopes but the audio is blatantly compressed: it sounds “tinny” while lows and mids come out poorly reproduced.

I know that with Bluetooth there is limited bandwidth, so even with high quality source files it’s always going to be (re-)encoded with AAC. Apple ditched aptX which is a shame, because at least the quality was much higher than AAC.

I use an AudioQuest DragonFly while listening to music, and it’s clunky for sure but I don’t want to be forced to use Bluetooth and compression.

Mint Mobile only works on T-Mobile. I’m wanting something that works on both. My wife is still on T-Mobile, and whenever we travel our state one when one of us has no signal, the other does. I’d like an MVNO that can automatically switch between the two.

Google Fi supports this but last I heard it doesn’t work on iPhone.

So yeah, I’m the opposite: I have high expectations if I’m going to switch.

I was a T-Mobile customer for awhile and am on AT&T now. In my region it’s always one or the other with the best coverage.

I was going to switch to Boost Infinite right before they became Boost. Still trying to figure out if Boost will work on AT&T, Boost, T-Mobile networks like Boost Infinite did because if they do, smell ya later (kinda) AT&T!

I don’t have an account and don’t participate, I use Reddit for informational purposes only.

Is it easy to circumvent? I use Tailscale to route everything through a VPN but use an App Connector to route Reddit through my home network, but I really hate that.

I’ll have to do more research on this. She’s in good standing with management but for some reason they’re giving her a super difficult time about taking medically necessary time off. We fear they might even try to fire her, so having evidence would be nice.

Yeah, I should’ve checked this out before posting. I’m not sure whether they’ve disabled that or not.

I should’ve clarified that the command line is actually my preferred way of doing it. Our personal devices aren’t on 24/7 (laptops) so automating it the traditional Linux/UNIX way™ is preferable.

I would love to jump on that bandwagon, but they sound so fucking awful. I’ll pick my Audio-Technica gear with the awkward Bluetooth every time; not that I use the Bluetooth while listening to music but it sure would be nice to have something on Apple’s level of wireless for meetings and audio quality in one package.

Why do you consider “versatile” an opinion? It’s a genuine question, I’m a native speaker and wouldn’t have thought that, but I’m also unfamiliar with how this is typically taught.

Yeah that was kind of a weird take, I’ve never felt it being slow nor heard it is from anywhere else.

I only have experience trying to run two Tailscale containers on the same machine and hit so many roadblocks that running it containerized just wasn’t worth it.

Containerizing is probably only worth it if you have an explicit need for it.
