Bundling is only cheaper if I actually want all of the bundled things, but that's not how companies like Comcast bundle things.

I don't think ESPN cable would be affordable to most people without bundling it into cable packages

Then it's not a viable network.

their TV is subsidized by every non sports watching household.

But that's exactly why people started ditching cable in the first place. They wouldn't be bundling ESPN with non-sports channels, they would bundle other less popular sports channels with ESPN so they can jack up the price because ESPN. But ESPN doesn't carry the sports I follow, and I can't get the network that does without paying double because it's in a bundle with ESPN.

Network neutrality became policy after Comcast, Verizon, and ATT were all caught throttling Netflix while their own competing services were lagging behind in market share. It was a response to a real problem that was harming competitors and consumers.

I have, yeah. While I was traveling internationally and the roaming mobile data rates were insane. So I used the VPN while connecting to hotel/public wifi.

Right. Not about to use public WiFi naked!

Wow. Talk about professional gaslighting. Not enough people are aware that the Obama-era FTC enacted the policy because AT&T, Comcast, and Verizon were all caught throttling Netflix and prioritizing their own competing services.

It's ridiculous that this would be an economical business plan.

I've never had a legitimate contact from a fraud department that wasn't an automated message stating to call the number on the card. I've never had a human call me to initiate a live discussion.

Yeah it's not like christians saying it's a sin for a woman to deny sex from her husband and therefore spousal rape doesn't exist. Or christian pedophiles being relocated by the church to avoid prosecution. Or mormons grooming teenage girls to be their 14th wife.

Could be the Flipper Zero that Canada just banned, due to it's use in car thefts.

The OP's quote leaves out the "It is being targeted at Hyundai and Kia models." part. From what I can find those brands are (were?) susceptible to rollback where sending an old code reactivates codes that came after it

How do I use this account on lemmy and vice-versa?
Is the upvote of lemmy the same as favorite of mastodon? (they do not sync) if not then what metric are these two uniquely gauged?

You just did. By @ mentioning a community you created a post. I'm replying to your post from Lemmy. You can follow the community on mastodon just by using the same @ address as you did in your post. You can follow Lemmy users, but they can't follow you.

You have to qualify what instance I'm your @ mention. Clients are just truncating it since we're already here on this instance.

I still use "baby steps onto ..." all the time. And "is this some radical new ...?" too, but not nearly as much.

Wife and I still use that line and "two minutes" quite regularly.

That many SJ's seems too deliberate! It must be deeper than that!
