I love(d) it and used it every time I'd go to WF, but TBF I heard about it by "accident" (some small ad somewhere, or maybe it was in the Amazon app?) ... I got the impression Amazon just didn't want to push it much.

Aw ... it was really nice at Whole Paycheck, I'm going to miss it.

Any guesses as to why? Unlike Google Maps Timeline data being subpoenaed, I can't see what LE could use with this (since they have other ways to determine you were at a store), so that can't(?) be the reason why.

Oh wait- was this available in the EU?

Likewise with decorative hedges and other gardenwork; your post brought to mind this one hotel I stay regularly where a hedge is high enough and close enough to the exit that you have to nearly pull into the street to see if there's oncoming cars. I've mentioned to the FD that it's gonna get someone hurt one day, yet they've done nothing about it for years now.

I have Wireguard (and OpenVPN off TCP/UDP 443 as backup) on a router connected to residential symmetric 1G fiber. Among the many uses for that means I can watch the NFL (et al.) when abroad just as if I were home; there's WG/OPVN clients for the FireSticks I carry when travelling.

It seems as it would average out, but I wonder if the equation between "<some %age of> ~2500 people for a 7-14 days" vs. "<some %age of> ~175 people for 2-5 hours" incurs more "costs" for the former?

Maybe add the words "then get one" after "Detector"?

I'm mostly joking, but I can see a non-native-English speaker misunderstanding you

... and I'd heard the variation: Another inmate calls out "36!" which brings out raucous laughter. The new inmate asks why that one got such a great response, to be told "We haven't heard that one before!"

FWIW, 5 years ago a Gigabit PA pair could only get ~200Mbit/sec between two rooms in the same house, and even that was finicky.

Maybe the tech has improved since then, but I suspect not.
