    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.









  • 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.







  • 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.




  • I have one mikrotik poe AP I use and am quite happy with, but certainly not something I’d recommend for non-technical people because it’s firmware isn’t consumer friendly.

    However my question is really what’s the real risk in using TP-Link devices. Neither the article or any of the comments link to any explanation of the actual risks. Is my network actually open to hackers now? Is my router able to be used for dos attacks or for other purposes now? Everyone is acting like their flaws are common knowledge and there’s zero info about genuine flaws or exploits.
