Or they could just store the data locally on the user’s device and not transmit it back to a central server, such that the company never even has possession of the data nor any way to retrieve it? Like I get it would require a major rewrite if they weren’t already doing this, but at least they’d be keeping their users safe while also having no way for authorities to gain any data.
Ah gotcha. I just remember that they used to do it for I think the original iteration of e911 and thought they kept it around for other purposes, but I didn’t realize the necessary equipment and financial details involved, so that’s fantastic news. Thank you!
GPS is kind of a tossup since your cellular provider can just as easily triangulate your position with their towers, and there is no escaping that outside of putting your phone in a faraday cage.
In England? Lol
I remember seeing something years ago that it was to essentially force people to go wireless, as that was their aesthetic and what they wanted people to see when watching others using a Mac.
Pop goes the weasel?
The key is to have that infinite money glitch, aka be born rich and have parents that stay rich
at any time SEARS could have jumped into the ring with the business they originally were instead of sticking to the clearly dying department store model.
It’s not even that, they could’ve easily kept their store locations. They just needed to move their catalog online and it would’ve been a done deal.
Nothing like fomenting trust in a global financial transaction system by threatening potential user nations.

I just want to use my player of choice, and play a locally hosted file. I don’t want to deal with the visual compression artifacts or choppy sound that comes with streaming through a poorly coded player, I’d rather run a full bitrate file through VLC on my own rig that’s tied into my surround sound system in peace.
Bingo. Same goes for pretty much any show from the 90s and beyond that didn’t get an HD remaster. It’s the same quality with older shows on any legit streaming service.
Endeavour is fantastic. I’ve been using Arch since high school, but hung it up for a few years until last year when I’d had enough of Windows’ shit. EOS takes the PITA out of the install process (I just don’t have the time these days to dig as deep as I used to), but is the same Arch experience in usage.
Anyone can setup a honeypot with the right knowledge and resources. The kicker is to go about it in such a way to attract users and not tip anyone off of ill intent.
That’s a surefire way to violate the warranty, nevermind most average folks won’t even bother
don’t phone home info to China or BYD
You can guarantee they will. If we can somehow prevent that, I’m game. In fact, I’d rather all car manufacturers cut the data vacuum crap, and every other industry for that matter.
I mean, I had a mainline kernel update bork my system last month
Is it really a spoiler if it’s been 5 years?
Be careful with that, it could make you a target for a visit
