  1. You cannot isntall a VPN app/client on a Samsung TV as it runs a proprietary OS (Tizen). You can install VPN apps/clients on TVs which run Google TV OS (LG, for example). You cannot install a VPN client on an ISPs router. Your options remaining: a secondary router which you modify to run VPN software - this is a complex procedure, one that which, five minutes after getting everything working, will break. Eventuall you may get it to work for a longer period of time. an android "device" (box, Chromecast w/ Google TV), or Amazon Firestick, which attaches directly to the TV, and can run both your IPTV client and a VPN client. Ask your IPTV provider for a list of recommended Android TV boxes, and a recommended VPN provider. How are you using the IPTV client/service? Via a web-site? Do you have a notebook/PC? What is the model number of your Samsung TV? Is it attached (wired/WiFi) to your home network?
  2. Thomas seems to amend his filings at a greater rate than we have done for our Constitution. And he is even more emboldened, given his denial of a stay on the Mifepristone cases, which are based on questionable legal doctrine, according to most experts. (The final vote on this case will be interesting.) JUSTICE THOMAS would deny the applications for stays. https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/22pdf/22a901_3d9g.pdf
  3. Amazed they didn't just standardize the exact location, size, font, frame style? I think that Texas also mandates (by law) that students must recite both the pledge of allegience to the U.S flag and a separate pledge to the Texas flag.
  4. Two misdemeanors, two (potential) felonies. Wow. Pretty tame for a member of a "crime family". I assume the right wing gun nuts will spring to Hunter's defense on the gun charge? The Post in its report noted that the potential gun-related charge stems from Hunter’s October 2018 purchase of a handgun, which required him to fill out a federal form that asked whether he was a user of or addicted to narcotics. Hunter answered “no” to that question, despite being a user of crack cocaine at the time, according to a book that he later wrote. https://www.cnbc.com/2022/10/06/hunter-biden-case-feds-believe-evidence-supports-tax-and-gun-charges.html
  5. Could you describe the network, devices, configuration? You are running a VPN client on your iPhone which is (only) connected to the TrueMove mobile data network? And you're sharing that WAN/VPN connection locally from your iPhone using WiFi? What devices are you attaching via WiFi? MAC? Other devices? How many? On 2.4 GHz? 5 GHz? And you're testing speeds from the WiFi-attached devices? Can you run the VPN clients on the end-point devices?
  6. Oof. GOP leader, who voted to expel Tennessee Three, resigns; found guilty of sexually harassing interns Rep. Scotty Campbell resigned about six hours after NewsChannel 5 confronted him about sexual harassment allegations https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUJy8FbFG8Q https://www.newschannel5.com/news/newschannel-5-investigates/revealed/revealed-gop-leader-who-voted-to-expel-tennessee-three-found-guilty-of-sexually-harassing-interns
  7. New feature currently being evaluated... Welcome to Google Maps Community Support Forum & thanks for your post. That's the new UI Google is testing at present. Regrettably, there is no way to stop its appearance. Nevertheless, could you share your opinion through the help & feedback route? Here is a link explaining how to do so. "Send feedback about Maps." The feature may become available later once there are sufficient requests. https://support.google.com/maps/thread/208650775/how-to-hide-left-sidebar?hl=en-AU
  8. I'm three eps into The Diplomat, Netflix (8 eps, all dropped) and it is excellent. Shades of Homeland, and The West Wing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NivXuE-SH3Q
  9. Can you provide more detail on this plan? Is it part of a larger internet bundle which might include home broadband and streaming? How long have you had this plan? What do you think the terms of the plan are? Volume? Speed? Does "no limit" refer to Volume of data? Or speed? or both? Most, if not all, unlimited volume mobile data plans here are speed capped, either completely, say at 1, 4, 6 Mbps. Or are capped once you reacha certain volume. Most references I find, after a brief search, indicate these (SmartChoice) plans are capped at 1, 4 or 6 Mbps. In short, it would help if you could share the terms and conditions of this plan. And you should contact True(Move) if you feel you are experiencing poor service. I seriously doubt True is "throttling" VPN traffic. Why would they?
  10. Are you referring to the fictional characters? Or the actors portraying them? For the latter I'd submit that Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong have had long, successful, happy lives. If the former, well then, they made an impact on you as you remember their routine from ~ 50 years ago. There have been quite a few threads started with similar agendas. The best answer is that gargamon is concerned about people's health, and is signalling that by posting older news articles which he, evidently, just discovered.
  11. Yeah, it's a night light, Bluetooth speaker and vape. What's not to love? How many temperatures levels are there? And did you find a lower temp setting that didn't choke you out? (Agree on a safe word for sure.)
  12. https://www.dtac.co.th/en/info/dtac-call.html (for background only) Links to Play Store seem dead. Maybe contact DTAC for status? I guess it may be in flux given the merger with True?
  13. I think that this is attributable to your phone not being able to process (filter/forward) packets at rates that even a budget router could handle. I mean it was not designed as a bridge or router, rather some lower layer software is allowing two interfaces (4G -- WiFi) to transport packets. (These interfaces are not the limiting factors, although they can be with real routers.) I experience similar lower thresholds of performance when using my Pixel 6 as a hotspot, with or without a VPN enabled. There is a great thread here (in one of these sub-forums) about detailed use and testing of 4G routers. https://aseannow.com/topic/1273022-your-experience-with-sim-card-routers/ I'd look into a 4G router, making sure you buy something that has been reviewed as being capable of supporting your application requirements. A TP-Link MR600 might be the best mid-range option, but check the reviews.
  14. ‘Stop the Steal’ Organizer Ali Alexander Suspended From Twitter After Bombshell Accusations of Soliciting Teens for Nudes Twitter shut down Ali Alexander’s account amid shocking allegations that the Trump rally organizer asked teens to give him naked pictures of themselves. Alexander was located with the @Ali Twitter handle, which now leads to a completely blank page confirming his suspension. Alexander’s social media scrubbing follows his recent admission that he sent “inappropriate messages,” all while insisting that “Nothing unlawful has occurred.” He also spoke of how he has been “battling with same-sex attraction” despite being a self-identified bisexual in the past. https://www.mediaite.com/news/stop-the-steal-organizer-ali-alexander-suspended-from-twitter-after-bombshell-accusations-of-soliciting-minors-for-nudes/ I guess Mr. Alexander is in some kind of beef with Nick Fuentes and Milo Yiannopoulos over their roles in the failed Kanye West for President "campaign" And yes he does look a bit like Sammy Davis Jr.
  15. Regarding Roe/Casey/Dobbs...Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Barrett were "cagey" but IMO, they were not lying. Pivotal Senators heard what they wanted to hear. What Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Barrett Said About Roe at Confirmation Hearings A close examination of the carefully worded answers by the three Trump appointees, however, shows that while each acknowledged at their hearings that Roe was precedent, and should be afforded the weight that that carries, none specifically committed to refusing to consider overturning it. https://www.factcheck.org/2022/05/what-gorsuch-kavanaugh-and-barrett-said-about-roe-at-confirmation-hearings/#:~:text=What Gorsuch%2C Kavanaugh and Barrett Said About Roe at Confirmation Hearings
  16. Fox News said it is "pleased" to have settled its dispute with Dominion. "We acknowledge the Court's rulings finding certain claims about Dominion to be false," the network said in a statement. "This settlement reflects FOX's continued commitment to the highest journalistic standards. We are hopeful that our decision to resolve this dispute with Dominion amicably, instead of the acrimony of a divisive trial, allows the country to move forward from these issues." https://www.cbsnews.com/news/fox-news-dominion-voting-systems-lawsuit-settlement/ I was on record here about a settlement being the obvious solution - all it takes is one or two jurors and Fox didn't want Rupert and the gang on the stand - , not that that was the outcome I was hoping for. Seeing Fox personalities roasted on the stand would have been much better for the country, and for popcorn sales. In the Seth Rich defamation settlement Fox demanded that the settlement be kept secret until after the 2020 election. But Tucker Carlson still refers to the "Seth Rich affair" but without mentioning his name. It will be interesting see which direction Fox chooses now. Towards a more mainstream journalistic path, or full-on crazy-town? So much for seasons five of the Goliath and Succession crossover.
  17. If any of this were real then Chairman Comer, and his committee, would have issued a full report, and referred charges to the DoJ. Instead he's yapping on Fox Business with that moron Larry (sniff-sniff) Kudlow. Pfft. It's a dud. About as bomb-shellish as the Durham "investigation", or "Benghazi".
  18. MTG Calls for FBI Investigation Into Ali Alexander Allegations ‘THIS IS DISGUSTING’ Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is calling for an FBI probe into Trump ally and Jan. 6 rally organizer Ali Alexander, who apologized Friday after being accused of asking teenage boys for sexual pictures, a story first reported by The Daily Beast. She also called out white nationalist Nick Fuentes—who she has appeared at events with in the past—alleging that he knew about Alexander’s illicit proclivities but did nothing to stop the predatory behavior. Critics of Fuentes, including Milo Yiannopoulos, also allege he ignored claims that Alexander was even requesting pictures from within Fuentes’ own organization. https://www.thedailybeast.com/marjorie-taylor-greene-slams-nick-fuentes-over-horror-ali-alexander-allegations
  19. Thank you. In my opinion, I guess the potential crime (there are probably more) would be Human Trafficking. CITIZEN'S GUIDE TO U.S. FEDERAL LAW ON CHILD SEX TRAFFICKING 18 U.S.C § 1591- Sex trafficking of children or by force, fraud, or coercion Child Sex Trafficking is prohibited by 18 U.S.C. § 1591. This statute makes it a federal offense to knowingly recruit, entice, harbor, transport, provide, obtain, or maintain a minor (defined as someone under 18 years of age) knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that the victim is a minor and would be caused to engage in a commercial sex act. “Commercial sex act” is defined very broadly to include “any sex act, on account of which anything of value is given to or received by any person.” In other words, it is illegal both to offer and to obtain a child, and cause that child to engage in any kind of sexual activity in exchange for anything of value, whether it be money, goods, personal benefit, in-kind favors, or some other kind of benefit. Section 1591 also makes it a crime for individuals to participate in a business venture that obtains minors and causes them to engage in commercial sex acts. Section 1591 is called “Sex trafficking of children or by force, fraud, or coercion.” Most people think of “trafficking” as involving movement across state or international borders. However, Section 1591 does not require proof that either the defendant or victim crossed state or international lines. When the victim is a minor, Section 1591 does not require proof that the defendant used force, threats of force, fraud, or coercion, or any combination of those means, to cause the minor to engage in a commercial sex act. https://www.justice.gov/criminal-ceos/citizens-guide-us-federal-law-child-sex-trafficking
  20. Correct. If you read the full, linked article, and others you'll see that Mr. Alexander pressured a fifteen year old male for sexual relations. But Alexander had grown frustrated by May 2019, claiming that the still-underage Duncan wouldn’t send him “good jack off material,” according to the screenshots. “You don’t even send me videos anymore,” Alexander wrote, according to the message. “No good jack off material. Don’t even wanna be my side piece.” A day later, according to the screenshots, he asked Duncan to come to Texas for a week for an “internship.” I will stipulate that it appears, in this one case, that it was Attempted Statutory Rape. Let's wait and see if other victims come forward.
  21. OK, but it is still illegal, so let's settle on "Statutory Rape". Thanks for bringing clarity to this thread.
  22. "Title"? Do you mean of this thread? It says "sceptics", that means people who are sceptical about climate change. And no one is being silenced. Not you, and not the increased number of sceptics on Twitter. It is amazing to me how often people claim they are being silenced, often while making this claim on the largest social media platforms. I think people who express opinions, and are challenged, get all defensive and claim any criticism is an attempt to silence them.
  23. I'm begining to think the Republican fascination with grooming is projection. The Far Right Is Roiled by an Underage-Sex Scandal Over the past month or so, the far right has been embroiled in a scandal involving the alleged grooming practices that its loudest voices have claimed are rampant among liberals. According to two accusers who have come forward, Stop the Steal founder Ali Alexander allegedly came on to them when they were teenage boys, asking for nudes from a 17-year-old and pressuring a 15-year-old to have sex with him. https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2023/04/ali-alexander-accused-of-soliciting-nudes-from-teens.html
  24. I love these "handbags at dawn" threads. ????
