I can stay in a hotel and be more confident they aren’t spying on me 24/7 with cameras, than I would be in some stranger’s house.

I should retract my statement after remembering how good the G1/HTC Dream was. The hinge on that thing was sturdy as hell!

It’s the addition of a moving part. That alone is a death knell for the device.

Lol I predicted this to friends months ago. Apparently the era of phones with hinges taught us nothing.

The climate control uses the WDD80 approach — windows down, drive 80.

That’s a pretty dumb thing to post. The people I usually see posting pics of themselves with guns are righties.

Neither my wife nor I post photos to social media, and we almost never have people over. If we do, it’s usually folks that are equally disconnected from social media as much as we are (we have a tiny friend circle). But I’m also aware that we’re among the minority here. I deleted all of my social accounts years ago, so the tracking network for me has reduced quite a bit, but it will never be 0 in this day and age.

A CCTV setup with Tailscale is what I eventually want. Right now I don’t have anything.
- Comment on AI Company Lets Cops Pinpoint Specific Houses Based on a Single Interior Photo - 404 Media 3 weeks ago:
The cops would still need a reference photo to compare to though and they aren’t getting into my house for that shit. Getting in is easier when it’s a rental property because a landlord holds the keys.
- Comment on AI Company Lets Cops Pinpoint Specific Houses Based on a Single Interior Photo - 404 Media 3 weeks ago:
Tech bros and cops can’t put a stop to their constant spy kink. This only seems to affect properties with public listings to source photos from, but if you have any sort of cloud-connected cameras in your home, get rid of them now. I guarantee they will use those cameras the same way to compare against archived realtor listings.

And Axon already has a long history of supplying cameras to police, so this is going to lead to an even worse enemy holding the mass surveillance reigns.

One of the things I recently said to friends was:
At the end of all of this, every corporation is going to become either a surveillance company, or a military tech one.
I hate that this keeps turning out to be accurate.

Watching Sony get bodied by both themselves and the community, is giving me life.

I love my manual 2015 Fit. Over 212k miles and still going strong. I bought it a few months ago. 1 owner before me. Had to put a little work into it but it was all general maintenance stuff (breaks and a bad fuel injector).

- Comment on A study tested popular smartwatches, and they all overestimated calories burned: Apple was the most accurate, Garmin and Samsung overestimated the most 1 month ago:
I’ll never trade my Garmin Instinct Solar for anything else, even knowing that the sleep and other estimates are not accurate. I am curious what the most accurate tool is on the market though, mostly out of curiosity.

- Comment on Adobe to offer free access to AI tools in Saudi Arabia in $4 billion deal 2 months ago:
When it comes down to the wire, every single corporation will bow down to fascists and oppressor nations. Adobe will royally fuck US citizens, while giving a culture that oppresses women and hates homosexuality free services.
- Comment on Memory Prices Indefinitely High: SK Hynix Says Shortage Continues Through 2030 - PC Perspective 2 months ago:
It’s gonna be pretty funny when the bubble bursts and the memory and GPU companies that fucked over their bread-and-butter consumers, have to come groveling back to us in order to prop up their companies once again. I’m so goddamn sick of tech I might try to ride it out with my 2019 laptop for the foreseeable future.

I’ve heard of that and seen the bottle, but never had it. It sounds amazing!
- Comment on Mmmm tasty 2 months ago:
The US is notorious for making everything overly sweet. I avoid all of that stuff, with a couple exceptions. Europe seems to have some semblance of sanity and regulations when it comes to ingredients. Like the Fanta you described sounds amazing, but the US version is an occasional guilty pleasure for me (despite tasting nothing like true orange).

Lime & cactus sounds tasty. I love how sodas in other countries are more subdued yet still tasty, and the US is like “here’s 20 variations of antifreeze.”
- Comment on US says Chinese hackers broke into Justice Department, NASA, Federal Reserve, Senate 2 months ago:
It’s probably the standard stuff all governments carry out and this admin is now going to weaponize it in their own stupid way. Like when they say information was “stolen” and then you learn it was simply public information that a foreign government pulled.
- Comment on US says Chinese hackers broke into Justice Department, NASA, Federal Reserve, Senate 2 months ago:
I call bullshit across the board. Just like their claim that Iran hacked water systems is bullshit too. They’re just trying to manufacture consent to support their constant lies.

I bought a manual from 2015 a few months back, cash in hand, and decided I’m not replacing the head unit ever. I want the car to be a time machine that sends you back to an era that sucked far less.
- Comment on Roblox loses $70 billion in value as company blames lack of viral games 2 months ago:
The game is such an anomaly to me. Like the concept is neat, but everything else is shady and hokey.
- Comment on Roblox loses $70 billion in value as company blames lack of viral games 2 months ago:
A company losing a fuck load of money because its users aren’t making interesting games with their product, sounds like a massively stupid product right out of the gate lmao.
