Got it. I completely understand that.

Could you please provide me with the complete address, including the ZIP code, so that I can go ahead and check the available hotspots in your area?

>>i have no idea where the equipment is for this connection

I apologize for the inconvenience caused. let's work on this together. 

I would like to inform you that, there will be no equipment for NOW WiFi Pass. We source internet from Xfinity Internet customers, so that you will be able to connect to Xfinity hotspots and there are million's of hotspots available all over the US.

>>so this is like a MESH network?
who runs the sys for this location
i am a fan of this setup... this is first problem in a whole year

I completely understand where you are coming from. If I were in your place, I would have felt the same way as you.

I haven't heard from you for a bit. I'm happy to continue assisting you.

Upon checking, I see that there are no issues from our end in the network. In this case, I suggest that you please restart your device and try to connect to Hotspots after few minutes.

>>i am going to try on my phone right here

Sure! Please take your time.

>>it says the connection has a randomized MAC address: ------------
>>Says, "obtaining IP address"

As you've tried connecting your phone and also facing some type of errors, there must be a problem with the hotspot in your area that you are trying to connect to.

Let me quickly update this to our team to work on it as a high priority task. We will ensure it is checked and fixed promptly. 

Thank you for providing the phone number, Socrates. Please allow me a moment to update this information for our team.

>>okay i connected the phone

That's awesome.

>>here's what i did

I have successfully updated this information for our team to address the issue in your area. I have also updated your details to prevent this type of issue in the future.

>>i changed my phone from giving a randomized MAC to giving the phone's MAC

Wow. I appreciate your extra effort and cooperation on this.

>>i have never changed this since owning the phone and have never changed on any device

I have also learned something from you that will help me assist customers who encounter these types of problems better. Thank you for your awesome feedback on this.
The same goes for connecting your devices. Before trying, make sure to forget the "xfintywifi" network, clear the browsing history, and then restart the browser. By doing this, you will clear any traffic from the signal.

Is there anything else I can assist you with today?

>>i know providers have ways to identify clients, but i didn't know my phone was anonomyzing me

I understand, and it happens sometimes with us too. Thank you for your understanding on this.

>>i am going to try my linux laptop 

Yes, but before I request you to follow the process that I shared with you above.

>>cloned MAC address! 
If you are experiencing difficulty connecting to "xfinitywifi" due to a cloned MAC address error, it could be because your device's settings have been altered. This change may result in your device not being recognized by the network and connecting to the public Xfinity WiFi instead of your home network. To resolve this issue, please follow these steps:
- Navigate to your device's WiFi settings.
- Select your home network to establish a connection with it.
By following these instructions, you can prevent connection issues and ensure that you are connected to the correct network.
Please check this. If the issue persists, please contact us again so that our next available agents can assist you with connecting your device.

I haven't heard from you for a bit. I'm happy to continue assisting you.

Are you still with me? I'll be here for another minute if you still need my help.

"Although a nuclear confrontation based on fake intelligence may seem unlikely, the stakes during crises are high and timelines are short, creating situations where fake data could well tilt the balance toward nuclear war. "The evolution of nuclear systems has led to further ambiguity in crises and shorter timeframes for verifying intelligence. An intercontinental ballistic missile from Russia could reach the U.S. within 25 minutes. A submarine-launched ballistic missile could arrive even sooner.  "Many modern missiles carry ambiguous payloads, making it unclear whether they are nuclear-tipped. AI tools for verifying the authenticity of content are not sufficiently reliable, making this ambiguity difficult to resolve in a short window. "The likeliest nuclear hotspots are also the arenas involving actors with low levels of trust on both sides — be that the U.S. and the Chinese Communist Party or Russia, or India and Pakistan. Even if communication is established in a...

Swarm 🦹‍♂️

"Knowledge discovery from data typically includes solving some type of an optimization problem that can be efficiently addressed using algorithms belonging to the class of evolutionary and bio-inspired computation .  "In this chapter, we give an overview of the various kinds of evolutionary algorithms, such as genetic algorithms, evolutionary strategy, evolutionary and genetic programming, differential evolution, and coevolutionary algorithms, as well as several other bio-inspired approaches, like swarm intelligence and artificial immune systems.  "After elaborating on the methodology, we provide numerous examples of applications in astronomy and geoscience and show how these algorithms can be applied within a distributed environment, by making use of parallel computing, which is essential when dealing with Big Data."

Digital ID tracking system

The U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has moved forward with regulations establishing a smartphone-based national digital ID and tracking system, disregarding objections from organizations like the Identity Project. These new rules are based on the REAL-ID Act of 2005 and set the standards for how states will issue digital versions of driver’s licenses or ID cards, which will be accepted by the TSA and other federal agencies for certain official purposes. However, these rules do not extend to airline travel, where no ID is legally required, despite the TSA’s misleading statements to the contrary. Under the TSA’s new regulations, digital IDs can only be issued to individuals who already possess a physical driver’s license or state-issued ID card. Additionally, individuals are still obligated by state laws to carry their physical ID while driving, even if they have a digital ID on their smartphone.  This shift is not primarily about improving driver’s license technolo...
