If it takes a whole 60 seconds for this glorified camera-carwash contraption to scan a vehicle and generate a report, they are charging $11,400/hour.
Hertz, I will personally sit on a roller stool with a camera and make beep boop sounds for that dough. Take my resume.
Me neither. But eventually I’ll be forced to somehow too.
Really sounds like this database is based primarily on biometrics obtained during legal immigration and travel.
I wonder how it will identify those who came through illegal means? Unless that’s totally not the point. Hmmm…
While I do think CoveredCA needs a healthy (pun intended) fine, tech companies need need a serious grilling for taking this info. Not just the cost of business crap that’s handed out for getting caught.
More importantly, WE need resources to notify, find and curate or revoke data about us! Start putting that in settlement clauses; I don’t care about my $3.20 gift card left over and split from a class action win.
Me too. I’m up to 3TB locally. Had to do that slowly though. Hit some temp bans a few times.
I’m saying split tunnel is very similar to a whitelist and is available to some VPN’s. A split tunnel would also bypass the VPN.
Also, while Android auto is a system app now, it is also identifiable by my VPN software and able to be whitelisted.
Maybe we’re just using VPN’s differently than you’d expect. For example, I use Blokada, a local VPN for reducing ad/tracking services embedded in apps. I don’t actually send my traffic to a remote server.
I can get it to work if I whitelist the android auto app from my VPN.
Absolutely no good will come of this psyops group targeting Americans.
This isn’t a genie that can return to a bottle. This is everything Snowden warned the world about, supercharged and networked and only available to the administration currently in charge.
For me, wireless. Wired still worked through VPN.
I just ran into this too. Had to whitelist the app. Felt dirty and probably is…
I also prefer 100% natural ground insects in my food over artificial dyes.
(Just teasing for funsies)
Since downloading copyright material is legal for training apparently, I’d be glad to help train a privacy respecting distributed LLM. 😉
/s of course. But you have a very interesting idea!

We used FM transmitters for those guys back in the day. Plug it in the headphone port and tune the stations.
I don’t think purchase info is necessary tied to hardware out of the box beyond asset tracking. That would cause issues with gifting.
The easy answer is if you don’t run the software, it can’t collect data.
However, the firmware is network capable and certain diagnostic tools and recovery modes can call home. I am not familiar to the extent, however.
This also does not stop other devices, Apple included, from detecting the Mac and reporting home hardware/location data.
Terrorism is scaring/harming people to manipulate government.
Tesla is neither government nor their property damage is scaring people.
More trumped-up charges.
(It is hilariously fitting Trump the man and Trump the word fit so gand-in-hand)
Whoa, now that raised an eyebrow. Doesn’t look like the truck bed is ridiculously high. This checks a lot of boxes, and my crap vertebrae agree.
Definitely following this company.
Ah! It’s a 2012! I was off a tad.
Anyways, it’s a Mac Pro 2.3Ghz i7, 16G ram, 2TB drive, with an internal bluray drive.
Had certainly served me well over the decade.
I just got a cheap minipc to tinker with and it had windows 11. Not bad and unexpected.
First thing I did was wipe and install Ubuntu of course because that’s what I wanted.
