Re:Schwab users are unable to log in

I was planning on opening accounts with Schwab, but after I signed up and went through the login process, I very quickly closed the account and went elsewhere. It was among the worst user experiences I can recall. Everything about it screamed legacy and immutable. I had the same feeling about LastPass a few years ago. Always go with the gut!

It will turn out well once the newness and novelty of messing with them wears off eventually.

I actually love capitalism, but I also have a healthy mistrust of those who have mastered it. I can foresee the real estate and commercial implications of mostly remote labor leading to legislation. In the US, we have a huge problem with private equity firms buying up companies, and if they own the IT companies and the restaurant companies, it might behoove them to lobby for RTO legislation to drive more traffic through their brick and mortar businesses.

I'm one of them. I'm pretty terrified that the gears of capitalism will eventually lead to remote work being outlawed.

I had to change my DNS from Cloudflare to Google last night somewhere around midnight Eastern because everything but telegram stopped working, presuming that Telegram must use an IP or something for its endpoints.
Wonder if it's related?

You're insane if you plug a USB device like this into anything that can access your employer's private network. Just wildly reckless.

Does anyone know what type of contractor I could call locally that installs these things?

Fluoride is good for your teeth. Not sure what you're talking about, but it's scientifically inaccurate. Also, fluorosis is a cosmetic issue, it doesn't weaken your teeth. And it happens when you're growing your permanent teeth when your parents forget to teach you to not swallow your toothpaste. It wouldn't affect you now.
If your water is over-fluorinated, you have far bigger problems that stem from your local government.
Re:Helldivers 2 Removed from Purchase on Steam in over 150 Countries

Not if you consider the point of a review is to either alert people to an awesome game that could make them happier, or warn them that they shouldn't waste their time or money. The latter applies here.
The enforcement makes this game a waste of time and money for 170 countries.

OIDC has for sure caught on. I've worked in multiple roles where very smart identity-centric people consider it the best option.
Re:Americans' New TV Habit: Subscribe. Watch. Cancel. Repeat

Sports has become very annoying to follow because the leagues themselves have segmented their own games across so many networks, which are on different streaming platforms.
The US politician who comes up with a single-payer scheme for a government-run streaming platform that consolidates feeds from content providers will get my vote. It's about time the US had its own ITV. It's getting a little ridiculous how costly all of this has become.
And it would be apt to get single-payer streaming before single-payer healthcare, because that's about how backwards things are in this country.
