In the meantime, you can turn off a lot of Google’s tracking, or at least their record keeping. Make sure you’ve disabled all of the tracking you can.

I won’t speak to how the UK does things, but in the US this would make for an easier criminal charge.

It can be difficult to prove that someone stole (or is about to steal) a car, or broke in to steal the contents. This is especially true if they weren’t apprehended in or with the vehicle itself. But if they are arrested on suspicion, and one of these devices is found on them, they can very easily be prosecuted for possession of criminal tools. It’s similar to how we normies can’t legally own a lockpicking kit unless we’re locksmiths.

Not removed - never added to the US designs. They were added afterwards to models being sold in places that require them.

Betteridge says no.

In order to do business in Mexico, they must agree to Mexican laws.

In order to do business in Canada, they must follow Canadian laws.

In order to do business in the US, they must follow US laws kiss the ring.

This isn’t the first time big tech has had to tackle something like this. Usually it’s with disputed territory. In that case, each region gets to see what it demands to see, while presenting something different to the rest of the world.

Just so we’re all on the same page, they aren’t meeting to negotiate peace. They’re meeting to divide assets. It’s probate, basically.

Hipshipper, an international shipping platform used by eBay, Shopify and Amazon sellers, has exposed millions of shipping labels, revealing personal customer data.

Researchers believe that the data stored on the exposed bucket included buyers’ personal details, such as:

• Full names
• Home addresses
• Phone numbers
• Order details (dates of mailing, parcel information, etc.)

I’ve found it to have extremely limited value, but not zero. It’s been useful as a shortcut for things I can already do myself. For instance, I can easily get syntax for a param block, or build a window form. Could I do it myself? Absolutely, and pretty easily. And I can recognize when it’s right vs wrong. But it’s marginally faster to have copilot do it instead of digging up the documentation.

It’s more like a party trick than a trillion dollar revolution. The $20/month for a full time dev is probably around the break even point for the labor savings. It’s not going to save THAT much time.

It seems that some people don’t get the joke. At least, I assume it’s a joke.

It’s a bit off topic, but I’ve always wondered how it was cheaper to manufacture cars in Canada. I can’t imagine Canadian wages are lower than the Deep South, which has a ton of US auto manufacturing.

Danish is a garbage language for garbage people.

I mean, the summary did list Grindr…

Hammurabi’s Code was largely about building standards. This tells us that buildings at the time were terrible. It seems that not much has changed in that regard.

A rare occasion where Betteridge does not apply.

I have no need for a truck, and I still considered getting one. The Lightning is very impressive all around.

It makes more sense if you start from the other side - EVs are a niche market, and an electric truck is a small subset of that.

The Cybertruck sold 38,965 units last year, vs 33,510 for the Ford F150 Lightning.

I was quite surprised to see coffee on the list. There’s only 1 state far enough south to grow coffee (Hawaii).
That means they import the beans grown elsewhere for processing.

It turns out that Folgers does its roasting and packaging in New Orleans. It’s unclear where the beans are from, but I’m sure it’s “everywhere”.

To my friends in Canada, take this opportunity to upgrade from Folgers.

Related, Pirate Bay used to (might still?) have a section where they mock all of the threatening letters that cite a different jurisdiction. Usually the US DMCA, but also similar laws from other countries.

They never posted any letters that cited Swedish (IIRC) law, because those were valid threats.

Initially, I thought that I needed to stock up on Colombian coffee before the prices skyrocketed. Now I feel like I need to stock up on non-Colombian coffee before something similar happens elsewhere.
