To be fair when it’s a product a person didn’t ask for and the OS forced it on them, it’s not unreasonable that they may not understand how it works and make mistakes.

It certainly depends. I’m not sure what qualifies as “most people” now. Plenty of people have higher interest rates on their homes from recent purchases than those who’ve purchased homes 4 or 5 years ago, and if you live in a state with higher income tax you’ll have more to deduct. Also self-employed contractors and non-incorporated small business owners are likely going to itemize. My wife and I itemize but we’re fortunate enough to be in a place where we support a lot of charities so itemization is worth it.

“Required” isn’t the right word but they do record who donates to them because people usually want them to. People donating to non-profits will receive statements from those non-profits at year end so they can deduct the donations from their taxes when filing their return.

People can donate anonymously but if they do so, they give up their right to claim the tax deduction so most do not.

Very much so but it’s the difference in how men and women are treated in a whole range of scenarios at issue here. Feminism specifically tries to address the significance inequity in how women are treated vs men. Just because there are situations where men are at a disadvantage compared to women doesn’t change the fact that overall women suffer far greater disadvantages than men.

Discovering someone supports feminism shouldn’t provoke a “but what about the situations where men are at a disadvantage?!?” reaction

As a guy that was falsely accused of domestic violence and rape, I experienced firsthand the huge difference in how such accusations are viewed. I was assumed guilty, especially by law enforcement, the legal community and friends, neighbors and coworkers I wasn’t close with. It was tough, and embarrassing too.

That said, I fully understand that I was the odd case. Far more women genuinely experience sexual assuault and abuse by men and struggle to get the support they need than men that experience what I did… the difference is orders of magnitude. Just because I experienced some unequal treatment based on my gender doesn’t change the fact that women disproportionately suffer greatly at the hands of men and awareness and change is needed.

My personal experience doesn’t diminish the vastly greater numbers of women that suffer worse.

If they have indeed built communication systems into mundane devices that don’t need it, they’ve done it for a reason.

I’ve long thought this policy will ultimately lead to China going to war and where they once again bring home foreign brides for their soldiers. It’ll make a war with Taiwan palatable for all their young, single, lonely men.

Apparently you missed the part where LG says they plan to weave Copilot throughout WebOs and use it “proactively” to assist users and offer content.

Ignoring the app doesn’t keep the AI from spying on you and your household.

Also gotta be careful with many of the “keto” products. Using a continuous glucose monitor to test foods, there are definitely many supposed keto products that nonetheless spike blood sugar and breads seem to be the worse category. Definitely worth researching or you might be paying triple the price and still not benefiting from it.

Teaching my lady SQL is exactly where the sparks started over 30 years ago. It worked at least once 🙂

Those results are really impressive considering the average age was 90 yrs old. Thanks for sharing.

Not sure your workout regimine but I’ve found compound lifts make for shorter workouts and provide the most benefit as we age, particularly squats, deadlifts and rows.

So many people think their back hurts because they’re old when really their back hurts because it’s weak. I started lifting at 47… that was 8+ years ago. I feel so much better and ache so much less in my 50s than I did in my 40s, and surprisingly you can really add muscle and strength even when you’re older, if you want to push yourself. I never anticipated such gains were possible but working hard combined with eating and sleeping well still pays off.

Not a Canadian but same here. I’m driving around with the top down in my convertible if it’s sunny and in the 40s. Coat doesn’t come out usually until single digits, either regular temp or wind chill. Had a bright sunny day a few years ago after a snow storm and my neighbors teased me because I was out shoveling snow in shorts and flip flops. Some of us just handle the cold better than others.

Raised in Phoenix I wondered as a kid how people could tolerate the cold because the 40’s felt like I might not survive waiting for the bus. Now I’ve lived in a colder climate for 30+ years and drive around with my top down on my convertible if it’s sunny and in the 40s. I’m not really normal but nonetheless you might be surprised how you can acclimate to a new environment.

Clothes won’t help if you fall in a lake but they certainly help keep you from experiencing hypothermia due to cold weather. I’m thinking you must not understand the definition of the word.

What a weak and easily threatened mind you have.

People have already mentioned some great ones but no mention of “An American Werewolf In London”?? Such a great film with some fantastic special effects, great acting, a splash of humor and a touching story.

Murdered…

I’m entertained by his dedication.

Thank you for that! I’m keeping the cvedetails link bookmarked.

My two devices, the Archer BE9300 router and the TL-WA3001 AP aren’t listed with any known vulnerabilities, though I suppose it may be they haven’t been tested. The BE9300 is pretty popular though so that would be surprising.

The known vulnerabilities in their other devices don’t appear malicious or any worse than other common vendors either however. Given the state of the US government and its desire to monitor it’s citizens, I can’t decide if it’s contempt for TP-Link is a bad thing or not. They might just be mad they can’t get the vendor to give them a backdoor.
