FBI and NYTs have zero credibility to me, shame.............

[Cofisher]

Ditto on the credibility problem. I reset any router I use regularly. A little preventive maintenance goes a long way.

It is getting to the point where I actually avoid the news....

Agreed.

Yup. I found that I am much happier when I don't listen to that garbage.

Better reboot or the rascals on the dark web will get you. I think my mom told me that... or maybe it was something more like the closet monster would get me.

Closet monsters are real.

When I read the story the first thing that came to mind was the FBI planted something on my router and to take effect it had to be rebooted. And that is exactly why I wear a tinfoil hat.

Ya they are. My wife makes me close the closet doors every night before bed.

I got tired of the foil hats so I had a metal roof put on the house and replaced the wall insulation with foil backed insulation. I know it works cause the cell phone don't work inside the house.
