Nice to see they call out LibreOffice as a usable application as well.


INSTEAD of Open Office, no less!


In Czechia is there not a difference between research and teaching institutions? In the US we have things like community colleges and other colleges/universities where you can get your associates or bachelors, but not Masters / PhD. They have a focus on teaching their students, rather than doing research.

Although maybe that's what you're considering "mediocre colleges"


That's pretty similar to what my wife and I do. It helps that my income is enough to fund the mortgage + expenses, but if she wasn't working we wouldn't have as nearly as much "fun money"


This is really cute


I don't think smartphones are expected to work on the same timescale that a car should.


So is Netflix going to require tax information on everyone in the household? How can they tell the difference from their end I think is one of the questions being presented


Netflix doesn't seem to be cutting anyone off here.

They're just forcing 2FA on accounts that meet some kind of threshold of "suspicious" behaviour. There's likely a lot of metrics being used to identify that.


Seems like they aren’t asking for anything in particular for identity verification but just creating a slight annoyance via asking to re-verify.

Facebook does prompt people to upload Photo IDs sometimes but I doubt Netflix wants to get that invasive.

(I had interpreted the question as related to how to interpret the T&C. Agree that ultimately, it’s impossible to enforce the existing T&Cs to the exact letter, although some combination of annoyances and mild shamings might affect user behavior and presumably this is what they are testing.)


Presumably, this person that is on the move is still using the same device no matter where they go. Their login session will be the same, just coming from a different IP.


What? No. If I travel I might be watching netflix on my laptop while on the move but on the smart TV at home


You keep posting this, but do you have any evidence? Other people have repeatedly refuted short squeezes being illegal.


Where are the jobs in your Noname Falls? How is someone supposed to continue earning income to pay for their living expenses with no work? Are you expecting them to commute 5 hours each way into the city for work? It's a far cry from your lobster diet analogy. It's probably more akin to someone starving not wanting to take their chances eating filth from a dumpster.


Other key takeaways are they've been taking the renter's money, but not using that to pay the bills and they've already spent everyone's security deposits. Sounds like pretty rough situations all around.


Based on a short story by Philip K. Dick https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Minority_Report


For those into Black Mirror or PKD, new show called "Electric Dreams" is based on PKD short stories - I recommend it, a few excellent episodes.


No, if they operate in the state then they are part of the state's jurisdiction. All terrestrial internet services would have to have some presence in the state otherwise they wouldn't be able to provide internet access. Multi-state entities have to follow the laws and regulations of each place they have a presence, not just federal laws.


Basically, if ~~the FCC~~ Verizon and Comcast loose in court, ISPs will be able to do as they please only in states with no net neutrality protections. They will have to follow both the FCC and state law otherwise.

In effect, this is highly likely to backfire. ISPs will have to spend more money than they claimed they did (before the repeal) in order to meet regulations.

I'm personally a bigger fan of mandated line sharing. This would actually foster competition. Furthermore, if the FCC were to protest it, it would be irrefutable evidence that they are captured and that NN wasn't repealed to foster competition at all.


Basically, if ~~the FCC~~ Verizon and Comcast loose in court

I don't think they will loose in court. Bows and Arrows wouldn't make it through the security check. (Commanders before the invention of firearms wouldn't be saying "fire" you see.)


> Basically, if ~~the FCC~~ Verizon and Comcast loose in court

You mean, if the win the challenge to the FCC repeal action and lose the effort to have that repeal preempt state neutrality laws. Win/win and Lose/moot are also possibilities.
