Is it the additional data you give them to enter the giveaway?

Basically. You’re telling TP-Link that you’re a business that’s interested in selling their products. In return, their Sales team now has your information and can pester you tell you all about the latest TP-Link products.

Additionally, they’re putting their products directly in the hands of customers who could become even bigger customers. If you, as a company, decide you like the product, then you’re probably going to buy more of said product.

Finally, TP-Link is being selective about who gets the freebie—they’re not just handing them out willy-nilly. From the fine print:

Offer valid only for SolutionX partners. One Insight S445 (2.8mm) camera per qualified SolutionX partner. Approval is required, and TP-Link reserves the right to verify applications

So there’s probably some sort of “legitimacy threshold” you have to clear in order to get the goodies.

I wanted to list Florida, but that state has disappointed me too many times in the past.

It’s a pretty good list, honestly. Having abortion rights on the ballot could help Harris in Arizona, Nevada, and Nebraska’s 1st District. It might also be enough to save Jon Tester’s hide in Montana.

Alternatively, check out Consent-O-Matic, which applies the most privacy-preserving features by default, and lets you choose more specific preferences. It’s also open-source.

There’s something so delicious about the fact that the party of supposedly tough, heterosexual-and-don’t-you-dare-say-otherwise manly-men is represented by a guy who’s covered in spray tan and spends literally hours arranging what little hair he has left, and another guy whose smoky eye game is on point.

And yes, cishet men can wear makeup too, but come on—makeup on anybody who owns a penis is decidedly off-brand for today’s Republican Party.

For most cis hetero men, some powder to reduce the shine of the bright lights in front of the camera is normal. Guyliner is not.
