  • Don't get me wrong, I have no problem blaming both Apple and Microsoft. Corporations are not my friends 😁

  • Touché

  • And Canadians

  • It is too much pressure for Reddit to have this many users. They're doing their best to get rid of them. It's just too much to handle... Poor Reddit

  • To top up your comment, you can get the permissions required for each extension in Firefox for Android. Extension Manager --> click the extension --> Permissions

    In the case of this specific extension, it requires access to the data of only 3 domains :

    Many other extensions are far worst in regards to permissions that this one.

    It is a good habit to check what are the permissions required before using any extension or phone apps for that matter.

    Thanks for the reminder!

  • I see you point and I agree. It's not all black and white.

    I don't pretend to know the solution to this dilemma but hopefully this whole sad situation might trigger the conversation towards one.

  • Penguinz0 just released a video about it and I have to admit that the character.ai AI are disturbingly convincing. They keep arguing they are real persons and, for vulnerable peole, you can get lost.

    Definitely some gross negligence from the AI platform here in my honest opinion. It's easy to put some guardrails when you make a chatbot, but they didn't.

    Btw, you don't know what the parents did and did not to help their son. I don't know either. So it's better to give them the benefit of the doubt.

    Edit: I'm not an American and I would never understand why anyone would own guns.

  • I'm pretty sure it is actually the fastest chimney construction ever!

    See?! It even forms a dust cloud around the workers because they work so fast!

  • 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

  • I've been boycotting Loblaws since the Amex card gives 4% cashback on groceries

  • Just too expensive for them

    Edit: can you imagine being the one that makes the most money, but still too cheap to accept Amex?! Like a millionaire still living in his mom's basement...

  • 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.

  • I totally understand this and I agree when it comes to jammers this powerful.

    My comment was about the low power models which only works for few feet, just enough for to cover your own car. Those are still illegal.
