You don't need to go that old or inefficient to avoid tracking or data uploads. Many modern cars have no GPS's or cell service (black box only).

That's awesome. Maybe they open a restaurant or something on the lower floors and recoup some money.

It's a truly interesting quirk of humanity how so many of us (maybe all of us) go through the, "I'm not like the others, I'm different" experience. Maybe that's a lotus he was eating all along.

The dealership model really helps manufacturers keep a tight reign on the market, look at all the trouble Tesla had. In a similar vein, Apple, Google and Microsoft control the medium and have grown so powerful, I can't imagine there ev

It's good to avoid anything that sells itself as "low-fat" unless it comes that way naturally. Often you'll find that "low-fat" means high sugar.

A drive wipe might take too long though, especially if they grab the laptop and shut if off. After a simple shutdown or lock, disk encryption really is the primary protection here.

The article keeps saying "self-destruct" but that's not what happens. But if your hard drive is encrypted, this is a pretty good solution for most people. Maybe if you can get BusKill to activate a mini thermite explosive und

The whole gestures thing, besides a few handy ones, requires such a specific set of circumstances (flip the phone over, turn it the right way, make the gesture) to make them workable they are mostly forgotten about. In general, it's ju

I switched from Chrome to Firefox a few months ago across all my devices. Got to say, I should have done it earlier.

I've heard about this too. It may be why people are developing so many food sensitivities. Still though, most gluten sensitive people still can't tolerate the "organic" bread made from modern wheat.

Same here, my wife and a few of our friends are gluten sensitive (not celiac) and they have no reactions to the einkorn.

I would also suggest a 4th: Natural Remedies sometimes take longer to work and they can be less convenient than a pill.

It's not the nose blowing, it's the change to winter and dry air that does it. Humidifier in the bedroom at night helps a ton.

I get a winter sinus infection followed by a throat infection every year. Antibiotics was the only way to end it or I would end up bed-ridden. But the antibiotics really upset my gut. For the past two years, once I start getting sick, I t

From my personal experience over the past 2 years, intermittent fasting is great. It doesn't help me lose weight, but I am able to keep off about 80% of the weight I lose when I do a keto diet every few months.

What amazes me is that they have the gall to do this against the wishes of the owners. In a few years Amazon will buy the place as a "good will" gesture.

The robot voice is the deal breaker for me. That can't be good for a developing mind. Combine this with voice mimicking technology that was posted a few weeks ago.

That would be interesting, the victim gets to decide the penalty (up to a limit of course). The perp would have to plead their case to the victim directly, not just the judge. No jury necessary unless requested.

We'll see if in another 20 years the government and law authorities have easy access to things like our Nest and Ring in the name of security.

No, I just don't think jails solve the problems besides costing taxpayer money. Maybe more things should be considered civil.

No he shouldn't. We need to stop sending people to jail for all but the most heinous of crimes. He should be ordered to pay you back twice for what it cost to install and repair.

Quite alot of spin here. One issue is that plastic production is not "environmentally friendly" in the first place. Second is the waste of a valuable resource we cant get back. Is plastic bottles and all the little bits of plasti

People seem all too willing to trade their privacy for inexpensive convenience and novelty. Although they probably don't view it that way. In any case, Google, Amazon and the like are chipping away at peoples desire for privacy and so

Yeah, I remember when they were just a bookstore. My account is older than some kids I know. When you read their story though, what it is today was always the plan. Bezos just thought books was a good place to start. It's really odd
