Yes I was.
You have to laugh to keep from crying.

Dark humor is a lot like food; Not everyone gets it.

Precisely

The situation here is rather bleak really.

Generally these cars have their own always on cellular data connection paid by the manufacturer. So they don’t depend on. Your phone for anything.

What they do is record and transmit any sensor data they can. The sexual activity you mentioned, comes from the sensors in the seats that are required to activate seatbelt warnings, or disable the airbags if a child is in the seat. Data from those pressure sensors can be used to determine if there’s a certain kind of rhythmic motion happening in a given seat.

They also collect any and all data they can from devices they connect to. Like phones. So don’t use carplay, or android auto. Don’t use their app. When using Bluetooth audio don’t give permissions to make calls or access contacts.

It should be possible to physically disable the onboard cellular radio. That will prevent any live data tracking. Exactly how depends on the specific car you’re looking at.

I would assume the dealer can access and download the data manually. Use private non-dealer repair shops for any regular maintance or any repairs possible.

I can find things I enjoy in just about any movie.
I’ve loved movies in every one of those categories.

And I never keep it a secret. I don’t do Guilty Pleasure.
If I feel guilty, its no longer pleasurable.

Given the community this is posted to… Sure, fuck cars.

But really I’m more thinking: Between their own umbrella coverage, and the drivers liability insurance, they shouldn’t need a GoFundMe. I feel like they’re probably taking advantage of the sudden publicity.

Why is Epstein’s still up?
Do they know something?

It’ll be easer when you point out they don’t have adds.

Am I the only one who doesn’t like to use these?
And refuses to use the frame generation?

I’d much prefer real 30fps, over strange fake 120.

That makes sense if you believe Biden is the only one who can beat Trump.

The all the polls say he won’t.

But even if Biden is the chosen one and beats Trump, he can’t run in 2028 while Trump surely will. What then? Biden was our only hope, and he’s not an option anymore.

No. This idea of Biden or bust is wrong. I’m sure lots of people could beat Trump. They’d just do it by embracing progressive populism against conservative populism. But the Democratic elite are very much against that.

That’s because, Progressive populism is very much against the ownership class, which both parties depend on. Conservative populism on the other hand, is largely a tool of the ownership class.

65million was the number I learned as a kid born in 1980.

I live in Albuquerque NM. I remember when we tried to buy a bunch of BYDs electric busses a few years ago.

They were nothing but problems apparently. Batteries were to small, couldn’t run a full day. Breaks weren’t good enough to stop in a reasonable distance. Oh and the doors would open spontaneously, while driving, with out being able to be closed.

The city canceled the rest of the order, and never put them into service.

Our comments right here on the Fediverse, are a good example.
Lemmy, Mastodon, Pixelfed, PeerTube, and numerous others, all use the same open communication standard; Offering very different services and experiences.

Collabra seems close. They do use ODF. And you can host you’re own server.
But they don’t seem to use E2EE. And the collaborative aspect doesn’t apear to be an open standard you can use with different software packages.

Is there an open standard for encrypted asynchronous colabreative document creation and editing?

The road structure is very flexible. You can add public transit to almost any road or street.

My only complaint is that pedestrian only roads are the same size as roads with 2 lanes each way.

The web app works on your phone and tablet, yes?

He said unconditional cash grants deterred people from working and reaping the benefits of success.

Just like the wealthy people who keep working after they’ve made enough to live the rest of their life on the interest.

Both can be true.
In fact the former could even be caused by the latter.

Small quantities of BVO are used legally in some citrus-flavored drinks in the United States to keep the flavor evenly distributed.

No, you’ll just have to shake it before drinking.

Number 1 has issues.

Yes wage growth in 2023 was higher than inflation by a margin of 1.3%. That fails to take into account the 7% and 6.5% inflation of '21 and '22. So people are still way behind in recent years.

Also, while by income rates, “Gen Z are now wealthier than any previous generation.” That doesn’t include the drastic increase in housing costs. So while they do have more money, more still have to live with their parents, and delay starting their own separate life, than previous generations. Even that extra money isn’t enough.
