Off topic. I saw a few comments about disabling or removing the modem on the car. How about removing where the telementry code resides in? Is that feasible?

I don't even know if you know what you're talking.

First, cash is going away, soon. Sweden has done it years ago. Europe is now playing catch up.

Please refer the OP's post in this thread.

Second, a universal digital currency will remove all system heterogeneity. Yes money is already digitalised, but across several proprietary environments. I can and have set up several accounts across several banks so my spending cannot be fully tracked by a single corporate entity. This will be moot once everyone has to use the same harmonized system.

That's the privacy problem the OP's saying.

Third, one of the sponsors of the universal European currency has been caught talking about time limited digital currency. As in, spend your money or it just disintegrates after a set amount of time. Which really destroyed a lot of trust in the endeavour

How's that related to my post?

And even less a reason for the digital euro to exist.

Except neither Bitcoin nor Monero are stable enough as a daily currency. That's a hard truth. I don't want to pay a pizza that's $20 today and $25 tommrow due to value fluctuation.

As much as I don't like surveillance, I don't like gambling either. Sorry.

Will this law protecting self incriminating myself if feds use it to gather evidences?

Not too knowledged about digial euro, but here's my two cents.

We are already using digital currency. Your card and bank transfer are being monitored(AML), looked at(IRS & credit agencies), and data mined(data brokers) every second. It stared when banks started using electronic records and government ditched the gold standard. Today's currency is mere a certificate that both sides trust there is value in it. IMO I can't see it enables new innovative use cases but a pure gmmick. Just a solution in serach of a problem. There are necessity and usability issues before privacy issue.

And no, I don't think it can replaces physical cash any time soon. If they really want to deprecate physical cash, they need to ensure everyone have a digital wallet, and everyone knows how to use it, including your blinded friend and granny.

• The Act prohibits conditioning warranties on the use of specific repair services unless provided for free or with a waiver from the FTC.

So Apple and Samsung can't void my phone warranty if I choose to swap my battery or screen or whatever in a third party repair shop?

More or less applies to Apple and most companies.

I don't know if I "hate" Windows but more like "I'm done dealing it." I might come and use it time to time, but only when absolutely necessary, and the mental capacity to remove things I don't need and make sure its removed.

Chinese don't own the land, the government is. And even if they own it, local officials can always call in the bulldozers midnight.

I quickly scanned and no mention will gov fund projects they uses. Nice.

For a quick brief read, it uses its own server to perform the sync.

How about no lock in from the get go?

Missing file I can understand, but how they infect the user with malware? Is it through the BitTorrent protocol, or undisclosed vulnerbility of the Grid Service? The kill chain isn't complete.

P.S. The use of BitTorrent in Korea by service providers is somehow justified IMO given how expensive the bandwidth is which Twitch quit the market.

How many know what even signed commit and build is? For people following a guide they don't even know what Github is for but a nice place to have free programs.

Just tell them unlock their phone so you can take a look of his browser history. Works quite a few time for me.

When they mirror it, does they uses a different username? If so I'm totally fine as that's just a fork, otherwise it should count as stolen. Not the project but the name and reputation of the owner.

I have simplex notification service running 24x7. while rarely open, i never missed a message when it arrive (i use it as a message bridge between my devices). Nor I feel it uses more battery that it can't hold a day of use despite it running constantly in the background. I'm using S21FE btw.
