Exactly. Most cloud virtualization providers you just take a snapshot of the virtual disk and provide that when requested and the customer never has a clue that is happened.
I'd get contacted by our legal department, told that my boss was only to be told that I was working for them for now and no other details, and then directed on what they needed a copy of and how to send it to them.
Honestly? The only thing that comes in the mail is bills and ads. I can't remember the last time I mailed something, and it's very rare that something I care about is coming to me by mail. Why do I care if the ads I'm about to sort through and throw away took 2 days or 7 days to get to me? I don't want them either way.
That's what gets me. This feels like an attempt to pass responsibility on and deflect away from the fact that the authorities were alerted and involved and did nothing to stop it.
I don't know of a way to determine an SSID over the internet from just an IP, no. I'd either need to sniff traffic from your machine or run software on your machine to get the information to then lookup in one of the maps/databases.
I can't find a link now, but I remember seeing an article in the past about watching for what networks someone's laptop checks to see if they are available (saved networks it auto-joins) and using them to determine likely physical locations it is commonly located in.
Yeah, I can see the bias they are trying to account for, but fail to see how excluding a birth from the statistics helps combat this in any way. Just because you stopped having kids doesn't have any effect on the gender of your last kid.
You grossly underestimate how much some people truly love the idea of highly personalized ads. People who believe they are the best possible outcome and cannot fathom why anyone would have any problem with them at all. That's who you are asking to dogfood this product, and they would and would find no issues with it.
You would be looking for the Texas Citizens Participation Act. That's Texas' Anti-SLAPP law. No idea how it holds up in comparison to other states' though.
understand what it is you're replacing, what you're replacing it with, and how to use the replacement
then you, almost by definition, are an advanced user.
A beginner should avoid these things, once you are far enough along to understand why you might want to replace one of these things, and form your own opinion on it, then go right ahead. But you're no longer a beginner at that point.
Static IPs handed out by your local router are not dependent on having a static IP from your ISP. You do not need one to have the other. You can always have static IPs on your local network.
mine is Pluto Nash. I offer no real defense for the movie, it's a hot mess, but I've always enjoyed it for some reason.
