It seems many didn’t even read the quoted part of the article. The $3 million payment is to one person. Yes, it’s pennies to the giant companies, but this could open the door to thousands of similar lawsuits, quickly turning that cost into not just pennies.
I feel like the tap pay would be what I miss most, but I saw someone suggest just getting a case that can hold your payment card, and it’s essentially the same thing.
Yeah I unsmarted my TV and just threw Mint on an old laptop. FreeTube works great on there.
Or perhaps ban prediction markets altogether? The existence of them can preclude events, and is especially dangerous when such markets are in any way violent.
I quite like my Razr. I’m sure if they’re aiming to be a true alternative to the mainstream OSs, they’ll be including many of the mainstream features
Ooo I’m sure this is likely for future models, but I was actually pondering getting a cheap pixel to try out graphene and see what it’d be like compared to my Razr. Maybe I’ll have to wait a bit to see how this develops.
It’s called anti-circumvention law and is typically forced into trade agreements by America to allow corporations to enforce IP protection in foreign countries.
Cory Doctorow’s recent talk on it was very informative and he notes how eliminating those laws can be a way for countries to eed dependance on US tech.
It’s very unlikely there will be any meaningful form of tech regulation in the US without significant societal change.
I prefer Tubular for Android. It’s a NewPipe fork to implement SponsorBlock and ReturnYoutubeDislike
Yeah, not really the best place to go to be invisible. However, who knows if that’s actually where he’ll go.
What heat are you referring to? Refrigeration simply moves heat using electricity to pump refrigerant through a cycle of physical changes, aka heat pumps.
ID scanning has been a thing at clubs in Canada for a long time. There was no marketing associated, but I imagine it was an easy way to identify people banned from the bar.
Benn Jordan did a recent video on his…explorations of Flock cameras. Essentially, they’re easily hackable and really should be an urgent matter of national security.
This looks terrible to use. /c/ergomechkeyboards (or the same on that other website) are where the real ergonomic keyboards are at.
Not surprising in the slightest.
I think the focus of the article is more on using services deliberately rather than pure privacy, and I think the all or nothing approach to thinking of online privacy as you mention detracts from any positive effects of the little things people just starting their journey may try.
Those big companies don’t care about you. Every small step taken toward privacy is beneficial, even if it’s just eliminating one data point at a time. If you make it harder to find your info, they aren’t going to hire a PI to track you down, there are plenty of easier marks to chase.
The one near me got torn down this year…so not a whole lot I guess.
There are quite a lot of fairly good quality IEMs that are really inexpensive these days. Most of Linsoul’s brands come to mind.
Right, if you’re somewhere cold, you can cover up pretty much everything and not be out of place. Now, eating a meal at a restaurant or spending an extended time indoors like that would be a little out of place.
