I was boner. It was back in the day of BBS' and my handle was lone wolf. So they started calling me loner... Then one day Bill decided "we should just call you boner". I said " oh please don't". I shouldn't have said that.
In the end it wasn't all that bad. I wasn't particularly good looking but when girls heard that, they would ask why they call me that I would just say "it's a long and very stupid story" it made them even more interested in me. LOL
I'm usually ok with some data collection to get stats, like memory CPU usage, etc, especially if they are using it to figure out how to make their software more efficient... But this? Hard pass on this. Especially with collection of other devices on the lan. Wtf Intel?
Are we at an airport?
I hate the make everything a smart appliance trend... Grills, washers and dryers, dishwashers, coffee machines... WHY? No one needs this shit.
I'd rather it be that then what we used to deal with.. 6 month old apps that never got any more updates because the dev has no incentive to keep developing it.
I'm glad it's this way. My accounts have different purposes, so I have different settings I like by default.
I'm using connect and am enjoying it. It works really well. I would like an option to always open links in the system browser instead of the built in one.
With the state of internet speeds in the US? No. This won't work.

I'm not really sure where your weird take on this comes from, but the lowest economic class does not get enough pell grants and financial aid to not have to take out student loans.. and middle class absolutely took out loans. The wealthy had their college paid for, mostly by paying right out of pocket. The people who can afford to make the payments do, and did. This was never about hand outs or freebies.
For the last 12 years, if you would have been paying attention, was packed full of predatory lending practices on students because they have no choices. It's either pay and not afford rent, not pay and suffer wage garnishments, or take part in there programs where you can at least pay a little bit see your balance skyrocket because you aren't even paying the interest on it. There. Were. No. Options. And before you go into the BS about, then go to trade school: need flash - trade schools were packed and no one was hiring. It was either better you skill set, or fight for the low wage fast food jobs.
The loan forgiveness was meant to right the wrongs that happened under republican leadership of these programs.
It's ridiculous that I even have to explain this. It's like people choose to be blind and worship the people stepping on their heads with their heels.
This isn't "something". This is a "we're sorry (not really)" video. If you watch it in the context of "I have no favorites in this game" and look it it pretty objectively, it feels like just a bait to try to stop the bleeding.
A week? To refine all the processes in that size of a company? No. I've gone through these processes before and it takes months to evaluate, talk to employees, get processes down properly, especially when you need to really start over from the standpoint of "this isn't working". They even mentioned they are still having scheduled videos coming out... Did they check those for errors first? I doubt it.
A week to get their inventory control back on track? With the size of their warehouse? No way.
The fact that they let Linus get on there and make the tone deaf statement he did, still backtracking on the billet labs fiasco. He acted like a petulant child who doesn't have remorse.
They are going to post their updates to their processes on floatplane? What. The. Fuck. So no communication through YouTube. You have to pay in order to see how they will do better.
And. They monetized the apology video. They knew they would get the most views ever out of that one. And they monetized it.
I've watched quite a bit of their content and had trusted it in the past.. but I have the same feeling about them now that I had when I found out about Jared from adventures with purpose and his whole "I'm just here to make as much cash as I can" attitude, aside from the fact that he's a child rapist. It just feels scummy to me.
