Sorry, I realized I misread your earlier post. I missed the word "trying," and it sounded like your were saying the device might not be connected to the internet even though it's successfully pinging a server.

No, it doesn't depend on the router. The device can either send traffic to other devices on the internet or it can't. If the device can ping something on the internet, then it is connected to the internet. It's a tautology.
The only way some IT guy can notice it pinging the outside world is if it's connected to the internet.
It matters if they think the bubble will pop before they get a return on their R&D investment.
Thanks, I honestly want expecting that kind of a response.
I'm sure there are some who voted out of protest, but only someone who identifies as a Democrat/leftist would vote for Trump out off protest.
Another reason I've heard is that Trump doesn't try to hide his bad side. Democrat (read: neoliberal) policies tend to favor corporations over individuals, and homeowners over renters. Guess which race is more likely to own home and have a stock portfolio?
You didn't answer my question, have you ever (honestly) wondered why PoC would vote for Trump over a Democrat? You have every right to criticize them, but it doesn't sound like you've put any thought into why they disagree with you. The result is you will say things that alienate and dehumanize them, which is counterproductive.
You're saying that no sane PoC would vote for Trump, when a significant number of PoC voted for him. That sounds a lot like you're saying their perspective is invalid and they need to adopt your perspective. Hence, it follows the noble savage trope.
Have you ever wondered why they would vote for someone who openly says racist things?
Not sure which you're referring to, but here are some links:
No one is suggesting fascism as an alternative to democracy. But fascism isn't the root of the problem, it's a symptom. Trump didn't put himself in power, he was elected. Trump isn't the root cause, and if we refuse to focus on anything other than the republican party we won't be able to find the root case. And without knowing the root cause it's hopeless to look to a solution.
No, but I wouldn't call what you're doing "just asking." Seems more like sealioning to me.
Careful, sounds like you're slipping into the old racist "noble savage" trope. Remember why Biden got backlash for telling someone "you ain't black" because he had reservations about voting for the democrats?
Squids are carnivores, and you're an anthromorphic squid. I can see why a vegan would be upset.
