    What do you think about Denmark's plans to extend conscription to women?

    If Denmark is going to have mandatory conscription, might as well make women do it as well. Fair is fair.

    "AnyDesk" software

    Well there’s a built in feature in Windows called Quick Assist that does the same thing. You give a person an authorization code for permission to remotely control your PC.

    "Internet of Things"

    Can you find that meaning because I can’t. When I look up the definition, I get hundreds of results similar to what I posted.

    Boycotting Brands

    I was being sarcastic. I can’t tell if my friends don’t actually know the meaning, are just saying it for show, or both.

    "Internet of Things"

    It still sounds like you’re missing the point.

    Boycotting Brands

    My wannabe activist peers don’t know what boycotting is. Apparently continuing to buy things from said company is considered boycotting.

    Technology - upgrades galore

    Based on my cybersecurity certs and training, there is a point. Threats are ever evolving and not upgrading after it reaches end of life is essentially a ticking time bomb (unless you don’t connect it to the internet). Though if it’s a device that has no cybersecurity to worry about, it is...

    Are you gizmo crazy?

    I don't upgrade for the sake of upgrades, but due to my hobbies/interests, I have different needs than someone who just uses a computer just to browse the internet. I also work in IT, and end up with setups at home that the average person doesn't need. I also keep up with current operating...

    Are you afraid of the side effects of coronavirus vaccines?

    Not really, the percentage of people with long term side effects is pretty small. So I wouldn't say someone's wiser than the higher percentage of people that didn't get side effects. I'm not telling you to go get the vaccine, but not getting it doesn't make you any wiser than someone who got it...

    Did Defund the Police backfire?

    I’d call it a failure because nothing came out of the movement due to a disorganized and unclear message. They knew what their end goal was, but didn’t unite on how to get there.

    Do you buy anime on disc?

    I have to either take a picture and have the lighting to make sure it’s all legible, or type up a list. I also don’t have my collection memorized, so it’s more effort for something not a lot of people have interest in seeing.
