Very likely that this is Oklahoma’s future Governor, btw.

The election is this November and I have literally never heard of this asshole. He also doesn’t appear to have announced a run. At this point I kinda doubt he will be the next governor. My money is on Drummond, the current attorney general who has announced a run.

DAMNIT! I am going to blame autocorrect.

Even if that kind of client side compression went totally unnoticed, and petabyte level use of cell and satellite services also went unnoticed, and even supposing we are only talking about a billion calls a day (unlikely given the population of the US alone, before even adding the rest of North America, Europe, and wherever else they want to spy), what are they going to do with all that data? It’s not a training source and any AI they unleashed to sort it would be subject to hallucinations and attack from people who know their conversations are being recorded.

I find it much more likely that they will target individuals directly for that level of surveillance. Hacking one journalist’s cell is going to be far easier than trying to find their recordings in the vault, assuming the targets have a new Chinese car.

They are much more useful as scouts for mapping things just like Google has been doing with their street view cars for decades now and as the other commenter pointed out, with a kill switch just like OnStar uses for stolen cars, as a first attack wave gumming up transport and evacuation options.

Like a lot of places it is hit or miss.

Donkey Kong Country 3 for SNES had one of the auxiliary Kongs playing an N64.

As a Native American whose citizenship is being argued against in the Supreme Court, whose people have been fighting against the invasion of white people from Europe for centuries and only got the right to vote in 1975: go fuck yourself.

In my town cops are required to have a bachelors degree. Not in anything specific but you still have to have one. I don’t think ICE has the same requirement.

It’s even worse than that; it’s being vibe coded by recently graduated graphic designers with no development experience. More specifically the entire interface was created by a team like this who were, based on job announcements, all hired about 6 months before 11 was announced.

This is not the main problem with Chinese EVs. As far as privacy goes I would be much more concerned with what they are slurping up about where I am than what I am talking about. For instance all the SSIDs and Bluetooth device around the car. I also kinda doubt they have the bandwidth and storage space to ingest billions of phone call recordings.

It’s that they are being subsidized by the Chinese government and Chinese labor markets. Their aim is to put other countries’ automakers out of business and then exploit their monopoly. Pretty much the only thing that could make American transit worse is having no domestic manufacturing capability, Europe at least has decent public transit.

I’m not allowing it. It just doesn’t do any good.

There is zero part of growing up that requires access to the internet.

There are limits in how much can be donated to a campaign and how hidden those amounts and donors can be to an extent. But there are no limits on how much somebody not associated or affiliated with the campaign can spend on messaging for the campaign. This is where Super PACs and dark money come in.

I understand where you are coming from. But I am a standard transmission kinda person.

Okay, but writing a .desktop file takes like 10 seconds.

So deal with Reddit style mods and hoops and maybe you can do exactly what you are already doing? No thank you.

I have severe adult adhd and this has never been the case for me.

Often patents like this are for the manufacturing process or physical construction rather than what the device does, this one appears to be on the construction. Specifically on a new method for making it smaller.

Things like layoffs and at-will employment guarantee that the risk is on the individual and not the company. You need to get over that rose tinted idea of what capitalism is. It hasn’t existed in 100 years if it ever did.

I stopped selling on Craigslist after being ghosted at meetups multiple times.
