This was in response to the article which states that the cameras are license plate readers and conveniently omits that they can and have been used to track people on foot.

Didn’t the Flock CEO just admit (seemingly by mistake) that’s these cameras aren’t just license plate readers?

GOS came out with a statement detailing the continuation of Pixel support.

They say it’s harder and harder to get AOSP and the Pixel 11 series have an upgraded ‘more secure’ proprietary chip set so they are unsure how long they will be able to continue support.

The 10 pro still has graphene support. It’ll be on sale here in a little while because the pro 11 is launching (same with their other variants, I think). Unless we get a for sure launch date for the graphene moto phones, I’d pull the trigger on a new pixel.

Good luck with that. I want the opposite of immortality and a long life.

Yeah, I can see a use for smart glasses. Specifically in assisting the hard of hearing, those with partial blindness, maybe even people with other disabilities as well. But the upload of data and cameras recording people without their knowledge and consent is a problem. Not just a problem, but the problem.

But also our laws have a habit of not catching up to the reality of how people use tech to violate the rights of others and that really needs to be addressed. Not against consumers but against tech firms and manufacturers.

They have a point though. Technically from what I’ve read just living near an airport would give ICE the authority to search your phone and anything else you might be carrying if it’s within a certain mile radius. Even if you aren’t using the port of entry (airport for instance). Regardless of whether or not they have any other form of probable cause.

I don’t understand how others don’t understand that. Because it’s a hell of a conclusion to come to.

Again, I was not talking about police. Not even talking about like… The National Guard.

I am suddenly reminded of The Longest Yard movie where they gave the guards a bunch of estrogen.

That’s not really how it works in the military. They don’t just let you shoot things indiscriminately like they do in the police force.

I assumed by fourth year of the car you meant model year not that the car was 4 years old.

First and foremost, Ford had their first real attempt at an EV back in 2011/2012 with the Ford Focus Electric.

Secondly, you seem to have read my original comment as “don’t buy the first two years” when that’s not what I said. Your 4th model yearc car very much falls into the window of my original comment.

Third, your comment made it sound like there weren’t forums full of Mach E owners dragging their balls over Ford’s name to force them to do recalls on the thing.

All I did was point out why I wouldn’t recommend you buy a brand new vehicle line from the car manufacturer with the most recalls of any of its peers.

You decided to take that as a slight instead of the tongue in cheek ribbing it was and now we are here.

I do know more about that vehicle line than you do but that’s neither here nor there. You can stay mad if you’d like, but I’m out.

Nah. The non-GT models were also affected.

And in this case it doesn’t matter if you bought a fourth year Mach E when you’re buying from an automotive company with the most recalls in the industry year over year for like the last 5-6 years running.

The Mach E has had so many recalls. Axle half shafts causing a clicking while turning, differential pinion shafts that shear off or fracture, a whole litany of infotainment issues, botched updates. I seem to recall something about windshield wiper motors, and a problem with some of the glass by the D pillar.

I can’t refute this.

Don’t buy the first few years of a newly released car. Rules to live by. The Mach-E had all kinds of power train failures including fusing the high voltage battery junction box contacts open and or closed which disables the vehicle.

Unless you live in Florida TM.

It’s white meat chicken. I wouldn’t call it dry, but I was in the Navy for 12 years. I have something worse to compare it to. Plus quality of the food isn’t really down just to how it’s prepared, but how it’s processed, transported, and stored and they do pretty good at that. Compare their chicken to other fast food (looking at you McDonald’s) and it’s pretty decent. If a home cooked meal isn’t better prepared than fast food it’s probably not being cooked right.

Also, to be very clear I have eaten there once (out of necessity while sleeping in an airport with nothing else open), and my experience was that it was a clean facility with pretty good customer facing service. What I know about pay scales and employee stuff comes from people I know who have worked there.

Fuck homeless people, I guess.

Let me go back and find the screenshots. This could take awhile. Bare with me.

Edit: This may be a crapshoot (I screenshot everything like a mad man).

Here’s a post with links to archived records of what happened.

So far as I can remember this wasn’t about comments that supported Trump. It was about Republicans being “the party to hold big tech accountable” and also make progress on public issues.

People in the reddit comments came with both popcorn and receipts and then he edited those original comments and got called out for that. Then there was a whole official statement that was problematically political while claiming the company is politically neutral and the fact that as the CEO he used the proton official account for his original tweet which kicked the whole thing off.

Altogether it was badly handled.
