Hey now, they publicly announced that Ring was ending their flock partnership after backlash.
(I’m sure that privately they’re still in bed)

I never signed up for the Hyundai BlueLink thing. The dealership pushed it - hard.
“It used to be free for the first year and $40/year after, now it’s free for life, so why not do it?”
“You can start your car in the office and let it warm up outside!”
“The sales agent will get in trouble if you don’t activate BlueLink!”
Well, I never activated so hopefully, whatever driving metrics it’s gathering aren’t directly associated with me. (One day I may dig under the hood and try to find the cell antenna and disconnect it.)


I’ve seen them used less for privacy and more for getting around permissions/limitations on controlled systems like work laptops. (That’s assuming work devices haven’t locked down or disabled USB drives.)
More often than not, there will still be some artifacts left over, whether it’s recently access files or terminal history that indicates a portable device/app was used.
If you’re looking at USB things specifically designed for privacy, something like Tails is where it’s at.


The thing is, legalizing (or rather just decriminalization) actually does help sex workers. If they find themselves victims of crimes by their customers, they can more readily report the crimes without getting into trouble themselves for being a sex worker.


You can find pixels on swappa and not give Google your money.
I’m looking for a Pixel 9 Pro as an upgrade for my existing 7 Pro and it’s cheaper used (obviously).
Rest in peace, Chief.


So wait - that kid is 2 months old - 8 weeks. How long were they detained? If that kid was born on American soil, that’s an American citizen.
The article doesn’t say if the kid was brought to the US then immediately caught.
(Not that being a citizen means you don’t get deported anyway)
I haven’t kept up, is she still around? I think last I heard Allie and her long time partner split.
Silicone chips. Soon everything from electric toothbrushes to TVs will be fucked.
ALL MUST GO TO OUR AI.
I was thinking Internet Archive, but either works.
In my head cannon, we’ll see him again as one of the horsemen of wholesomeness.


I watched my wife (then girlfriend) fall out of a hot air balloon at a company picnic.
She’s 5’2" and when she started to disembark, some other dude got out at the same time, making the balloon lurch upwards. So she fell about 6 inches onto a grassy lawn and was fine.


But experts argue that the way Trump has exercised his clemency power violates rules and norms in place for more than a century.
Are those rules and norms that have consequences beyond “shame on you”? No? Then they’re effectively a gentleman’s agreement that can be ignored.
Too much of our government existed with just accepted norms with the hope and understanding someone wouldn’t come in and set fire to the whole thing just to watch it burn.


Hey buddy, you just need to keep your eye on the button and wait to see how they use the hammer to clear the house - and pray they don’t cross the hog line while holding on to the stone handle.


My dog could have killed with what came out of his butt.
Unfortunately, mixarr may start to become significantly less useful - Spotify is killing most all their API access. 😢


Yeah, there’s no alternative on that link for Google pay. Google Wallet is kind of necessary for me - at least for my HSA card because they won’t issue it with anything other than a mag stripe. At least with tap to pay there’s some additional security.
Not that it matters if fucking Google can just slurp up all those transactions. 🫠


It’s a monument to the brave American police officers who stood strong in the face of adversity.

Wait, why are you doing this? Is there some network throughput requirement? Just bridging wifi to Ethernet won’t get you Ethernet speed, latency, or stability (since the back haul to the internet is WiFi).
This feels a bit like an XY Problem.
Edit: Wait, I’m guessing the company doesn’t allow wifi? (That seems weird, if they’re using a mandatory VPN, it shouldn’t matter how the laptop gets to the internet). Leaving this in case anyone doesn’t know about XY Problems. They’ve bitten me several times over the years.
