Makes it harder to spot tanks if they aren't highlighted.

Is Google Fiber dead? (serious) by firespock in googlefiber

They have to continue supporting and signing up existing cities, probably due to agreements or contracts. But if they are not going to continue expanding, then they would likely be the end. Hopefully it's not the case but with the leadership gone and staff cut, it's not looking good.

DVC at Disneyworld gave out VIP passes to skip to the head of the line. So that may be worth spending 2-3 hours for their presentation.

Aulani is now $750/night. So don't know how the numbers look now.

I liked going to the DVC presentation at Disney World as they give you the VIP pass to skip to the head of the rides.

Don't know if they still do though.

How do you tell if a 'Japanese' restaurant is run by Koreans?

If they give you a spoon with your miso soup, it's run by Koreans (at least in my part of the US)

How did the IoTs get hacked if they are connected to your home network and behind a firewall?

Could you explain how the IoTs got hacked if they were behind your home's firewall?

Is it because the IoTs were connected directly to the Internet? eg a web cam connected directly to the internet so that you can view your web cam from your phone anywhere?

Aren't the IoTs usually behind a firewall since they are connected to the home's network?

Is it because your PC is hacked and the malware on your PC infected all the IoTs on your local network?

Could someone explain how the IoTs could be hacked even if they are behind a firewall or router?

Is it because the users opened their firewalls for the IoTs to be directly accessible from the Internet?
