Shit I didn’t know this was a problem. What devices are these? I’m assuming we’ve got a few in every home?

If you use the Inspect tool (click the Inspect button then a specific clue) it will give you all the necessary definitions for the clue. Would this have given you what you needed?
If not don’t be afraid to tag me on future posts; I’m happy to help you as well.
Going into the weekend where the puzzles get harder you’ll definitely need to use tags to figure things out. I wanted to make sure you’d seen that because I remember your frustration yesterday too.
Neither of those things are CAN-SPAM enforcement. I’m not trying to move the goalposts on you; that’s what this thread is about.
As for what you linked, the number of robocalls has not gone down and there’s still no real penalty for being one unless you’re terribly egregious (combine both our sources). Neither fiber nor cable have the same protections as phone lines so it doesn’t really matter. All the FCC has done is deregulated the transition, which is a reduction in consumer protection. Remember how we’ve already been charged for the fiber upgrade? Carr just made it easier for us to pay for it yet again.
Right now the FCC is under regulatory capture and wants to deregulate as much as possible. It’s very excited to approve big mergers and attack journalism. Despite robocalls being a huge issue, they continue to do fuck to really combat them. I don’t know that the FCC did anything with CAN-SPAM in 2025 and given the pervasive capitulation to broadband providers (aside from the squashed and panned attempt at net neutrality) , especially under this administration and its previous iteration, it is not reasonable to assume the FCC gives a shit about cable companies spamming you.
Either everyone knows everything all the time about tech or you should reconsider your approach to sharing solutions.
The FCC has stopped doing stuff about this.
Software co-ops are often indistinguishable from startups in the US. Without money they don’t matter and getting money turns you into a shitshow or requires full-time staff fighting for grants and other forms of not blood money. Maybe this is easier outside the US.
Fuck big tech tho
It’s a cynical way to view the C-staff of a company. I think it’s also inaccurate: from my limited experience, the people who run large tech companies really do want to deliver good software to users.
From my much broader experience, this is missing the required cynicism that C-staff want to deliver software they think is good based on the criteria cynical yes staff tell them constantly is good. I’ve never met an exec that didn’t want to deliver something good; most execs I’ve met don’t actually understand what good is or how to benefit people.
No, that’s disappointing enough. Thanks for the info!

Yes but we’re talking about zsh. I know zsh wasn’t on TiVo.
