Without an account with the journal, all I could read was the abstract, but it didn't hint to me that they corrupted the FBI, whatever that means, but have a high representation within the FBI. Someone recently told me that when he wor

That's my thinking too. Do marketers not also have phones, or do they somehow not see how annoying promotions and spam are? There's already so much paid advertising everywhere, and the free advertising with direct notification to

I think he is suggesting that this article is heavily exaggerated, or possibly written more as entrainment rather than to express fact. He quotes the misuse of rule of law to prove his point. Up to you whether you agree. There are lots of e

Same, almost. When I was a student, I rented a locker near the showers so I could start my day at the school gym, shower, and go to my first class. My workplaces have not had gyms, but I bought equipment for my home that maintains the strea

I always thought it was weird that all of the equipment issued to me beyond the laptop was registered to me, such as the monitors and desk phone. Your comment enlightens me... That's wild to imagine folks just swiping things from other

Google has support?? How did you find it, and what other services besides gmail does it cover?

I envy you. Before I degoogled my life, I tried going all in to no smart phone. It didn't last very long. I still would like to get there, but considering how difficult and slow it was just to degoogle, I anticipate that it may be a lo

Not just mountain states. I lived in one of the windy US deserts, and everything outside is minimally cared about because it's getting practically sand blasted several times a year.

What I'm saying is the car doesn't have a method to track you, and if you want entertainment, you have to bring it. If you don't want your phone to track you, just don't bring it, but most people will have their own phon

This seems to be a dual concern: do they collect driver data during vehicular usage, and/or during web browsing? For the first, my argument is they simply cannot, even if they wanted to, in the same way I can't track my friend if

What you described sounds to me like slate. It doesn't have maps or a sim. It doesn't even have a digital dashboard at all[0]. I barely looked it up so I'm no expert, but that's what I'm interpreting from their site

by eks391 5mo ago
I haven't heard about slate till just now, but based on their specs, it doesn't seem like they are capable of collecting or selling data. The dashboard is your personal tablet or phone. It literally seems to just be a battery, mot

I didn't think of that, but that makes complete sense, as it is https. I think my info was sold by my registrar as well because solicitors call or email me on occassion because they "accidentally came across my site" and want

You've gotten several comprehensive responses so far and I want to add a niche corner that people might assume might not have the bot problem but still does. I run a website that hosts tools for my family: games and a TV interface for

This annoys me to no end. I have an old phone that I boot up occasionally because it holds all the apps that I only need once per year for a niche feature that is only accessible in their app. I don't need 200 apps on my main that I wo

So would you say that the value of Apple products increases as you have more of them (higher than just the linear benefit of more products)? I've used them, but always as one offs. For example, Ive had a Mac(book? The one that you conn

RCS is proprietary so it only works on GrapheneOS if you have Google's Messages app. At least, that was the case a year ago, but I'm assuming it hasn't changed. On the bright side, Messages works without linking to a Google a

I think you and your parent have great arguments. Your pizza deliverer chose his battle, which was to only deliver pizza, not materiel, and is commendable. Your parent seems to want to delegate death from humans to AI, which seems to me lik

Yes ;) I agree with the intent of your rhetorical question, so I'm jesting with you. I'm justifying my "yes" with the hopefully humorous distraction that every person, including American taxpayers, has at some point made

As I read your comment, I was thinking "Really? Is it that surprising?" Then I remembered you said "someone technical", and no longer am surprised. Although I work with some technical people, I'm also surrounded by

Which LLMisms are you seeing in their post? Their grammar, word choice, thought flow, and markings all denote a fully human authorship to me, so confidently that I would say they likely didn't even consult an LLM.

My story isn't digital, but similarly required so many variables to coincide. My friend got promoted and wanted to celebrate by going to a bar. His peer/colleague was also invited, and she had been hit by a bus only days before, t

That is not how statistical calculations of risk are made. If the crew has 1/30 crew mortality rate, and there were 30 crew members, that does not mean there is a 100% chance that one dies. While there is negligible chances that only

That sounds like it is working as intended, not a false positive. A false positive would mean it blocked you whereas a challenge means more information is needed. You aren't noticing all of the times it correctly decides you are human,

What you described is aliasing, not compartmentalization. To effectively compartmentalize requires a different email, phone, and CC for every service. By only having one alias of each, the ad networks that are sharing information about you

It only takes a little bit of energy once a day (or per week if you haven't realized yet how eventful your life actually is). The highest energy first day making it is a fun date with your spouse, or parent child time if you are separa
