I might be wrong but the fact that they enable the option by default to everyone (but EU it seems) allow themselves to collect all the posts you already made right away.

Turning it off will only prevent them from using your future posts.

So they already have trained their AI with your data. They certainly won't "untrain" it after you switch the option off. You can't unring that bell...

All companies are using this scumbag approach to get your data: auto opt-in everyone, get all existing data then give the illusion that you can opt-out with a useless option.

I hate this

I guess Revanced would eventually have a patch to skip this check. It can already spoof the client and such, why not this as well. I hope so

This Ford patent made me wonder. After looking it up, Ford stated that this technology would be for Ford police cars, not regular Ford cars.

UPDATE 7/31/2024 @ 3:30p ET: After publication, Ford reached out with a statement to clarify that the idea “is specific for application in law enforcement vehicles, such as the Ford Police Interceptor, and it’s a system that would automate a capability that law enforcement already have in use today, except this would utilize the built-in system and sensors in the vehicle. This patent does not state that driving data from customers’ vehicles would be shared with law enforcement, which is what some media have incorrectly reported. And note, patent applications are intended to protect new ideas but aren’t necessarily an indication of new business or product plans.”

Funny that you call them "Nukes". You really don't like the nuclear power plants if you call them the same as nuclear weapons.

Not gonna lie, I thought it was about Internal Combustion Engines at first.

Let's be honest, a fallout outside USA would render the weapons and ammos as rare as Elon Musk's well thought out tweets

Hey I saw that exact t-shirt! It's from a Tested YouTube video.

This one actually: https://youtu.be/a9kQs6lUt0E

Edit: just noticed the watermark...duh

Same when NASA accidentally landed on the moon

Have you tried making a video reaching 20m views?

Wait a minute... BS stands for "Beautiful Science" now?

I would top off with this advise: don't stress too much about the first distro you pick. It will likely not be the right for you anyway. You don't know what you like yet...

You'll learn a lot about Linux along the way and eventually you know what you like and don't like, therefore choosing the right distro for you at your second attempt.

That being said, I don't recommend Arch Linux for the first timers haha

Yes and there was an article few months ago telling that burglars now use wifi jammers to turn off wifi security cameras before breaking and entering. Those jammers are pretty much illegal as well but criminal do illegal stuff anyways...

That being said, how would blocking only the GPS help criminals in their criminal activities? I lack imagination I guess.
