that is going to be outside anyones control.
Apple could theoretically lock it down [for a period of time] but darn—you made me realize the clones will have real cameras and look 1:1 before long
…lol “Siri, verify nearby AirPods” (…then the bad guy keeps a real pair activated nearby? and it’s back to creepy)

This may be a first of its kind hardware issue for Apple, unless I’m forgetting something
Wow love libraries
Edit - & quality curation by those who care!
Wouldn’t be surprised if you had a few CD players to go along with them?
(“do one thing well“)
I see what you’re saying and, parts of it, I’m on your side!
Those final two words there, I must say, do a disservice to the comment. One thought experiment: what makes Lemmy a pleasant place to debate?
A person really does give up a lot of control to Google when they use Chrome. If the article instead said Google was using the model for everything and it was a big privacy gain for consumers that might never have raised eyebrows about whatever size file. They push big updates all day long
Will intern 4 free 4 FF ESR
I’m told it’s finally time to make the move
These shoppers getting booted really steamed me. Individual stores, individual systems: that’s one (uncomfortable) thing. Sharing the data means disenfranchising. And when they go out of business someday the data of the whole country is sold to the highest bidder.
Wish we could fix it legislatively so they don’t say “terrorism everywhere, need camera everywhere”. (One imagines that Flock CEO would love us to constantly wear bodycams…)
btw on the internet gotta wonder if someone’s gonna read that & be like “oh let’s do it with 20 people inside”
Interesting, didn’t know anything about Wire. Are the ISP/VPN selling your data your main concern? Foreign nations enter your mind as far as threat model? Maybe easier to speak generally on what relatively normal (but nerdy) people might do best to care about

Mergers: Commission fines Facebook €110 million for providing misleading information about WhatsApp takeover - Brussels, 18 May 2017
Classic
Harder to organize protests though. Like if they implement a new renter’s/homeowner tax, or sales tax, or whatever, that means we’d have to sell our books to make ends meet. And then make “digitally inciting” protests illegal too maybe so you don’t feel comfortable even discussing it on your devices. (Not that our opsec today is sufficient, wager it’s not for like 95+% of us, but this feels yet worse)
Scary stuff

firefox support is often not a priority even today
Dunno if I can name a time it was ;)
I guess it might be a priority for Mozilla sometimes
![screenshot of Hacker News with the following text per OCR: [flagged] Federal Surveillance Tech Becomes Mandatory in New Cars by 2027 (gadgetreview.com) 79 points by functionmouse 41 days ago | hide | past | favorite | 48 comments vetrom 41 days ago | next [-] There's a ton of bad reporting here, because the publications, or writers, are lazy about sourcing their reporting. In this case, there is a kernel of truth: The 2021-2022 "Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act" ( https://www.congress.gov/..) directs NHTSA to develop an in-vehicle driver system to detect some definition of impaired driving. In particular, "SEC. 24220" (searchable by that string in the above bill text.) directs NHTSA to either write and publish a rule implementing such, or make a yearly report to Congress as to why said technology is not implementable. This is the 2026 report: https://www.nhtsa.gov/site... In essence, they state that while they have prototypes, the technology is not yet sufficient. There's nothing in a proposed or final rule yet, to the best of my knowled](https://sh.itjust.works/pictrs/image/1427740f-4f86-4edc-96cd-2615d95a2367.jpeg)
And the footage itself doesn’t even become illegal even when the trespass was in fact illegal, I heard - can’t require deletion I think? (Of course the property owner or their associates might be bigger than you!)
