The question is why? Having big corporations beyond the control of regulation should not be as normalized as it is.

Yeah that $1000 fine should fix things (or whatever amount they pick)

I was going to say Fallout 4 was the stinker and the only reason it gets as high of praise as it does is just how bad Fallout 76 was and after a lot of patches still is.

Yes, same with a bus, train, bicycle or on foot. Also not really relivent to privacy.

Facial recognition needs a camera. Common but not everywhere.

The issue is police not respecting privacy at all, this does not change when on a bus.

There is also a record of where I live, my height, eye colour and a whole list of things. People will still be able to find me on my bike easier then in my car since I can’t be that far from home on it.

You assume we all live in cities, we don’t. I like how my town is set up and is walking and bike friendly, but still most drive. This post was about privacy but you got on the ol’ soapbox about mass transit. Do you really think getting on a train/bus/tram you are not being/can not be tracked?

Leave your city, spread out and enjoy a bit of nature.

Hmmm wonder if you could make it work with bumberstickers? Like have the custom plate P TABLE and then complete on ether side?

They know where I am in my 1986 Fiero? In an area where the nearest traffic camera is at least 50 kms away? Where the police don’t show even if you call them?

Would I ride a train, sure but they are all freight haulers now and would you believe it even easier to track?

And my bicycle? its great, love it. but I am not able to make my 250km commute on it and although I have used it in the winter -50c is not conducive to cycling.

I am confused why they think people would not see this as a great excuse to pirate the single player game. Like at what point does this cross over from not paying for the game though gamepass into just not paying?

As is tradition.

Hmmm I am kinda in this situation now and I have to say I still want to work just not for other people (unless I know them well). I actually am trying to be more active and working on my own stuff makes me feel good and gets me off my ass.

Ha, “fail faster” indeed

Urgh, I am on the discord and people for a month now are trying to say its not dead yet since there has been no statement saying it is.

We have not even come close to over saturation yet. Now once we have AI making mistakes about AI past mistakes being used for a meme about AI mistakes then you will be on the money.

Why? this is great content.

We really need a whole community just for the very funny AI errors like this. I could spend all day reading about leaving a dog in a hot car, jumping off a bridge and eating at least one rock a day.

Oh, I have that bit. Its not even the weirdest

You know (I hope) that that functionality does not require a cloud based service right? You are describing features for things I was playing around with 20 years ago, what you need is a program or app, not a live service. The appeal of controlling your things from your phone is not new.

I will never understand the appeal for cloud based home automation.

All the spying aside, 16 years and your thermostat is no longer supported sounds ok until you think about how if you replace everything with cloud based equivalents you are always going to be having to replace things going out of service. I think its funny that you pay more for a device that lasts for lot less (How many thermostats have people seen fail?). I guess the companies are happy?
