Anyone that downvotes awareness of the horrors of android auto because they dont understand the risks involved would also probably fail a phishing test or plug in a random usb from the street into their personal PC because “its just a storage device”. It’s sad watching people not understand what theyre willingly doing to themselves and then trying to defend the thing they themselves don’t understand.
Would you give a stranger your phone so it can read you directions or tell you that you have a text from your mom? What if the stranger read it aloud for you? What if that stranger was hundreds of thousands of people called a company and they were selling that data to their other friends who charge you money for car insurance?
Convenient that the shitty surge pricing garbage doesnt also update the pirce per oz.
Once again, a battle of stupidity or maliciousness.
Is it on purpose because most people wont check the math? Is it a messup on the stupid system thats meant to scam people while they shop?
Quick and easy way to get serialnumber. Im sure there’s other ways too, but i habent had to find them out because wmic bios get serialnumber.
Literally used it a few weeks ago. Probably once every few months when i get a computer that is only reporting hostname.
Hey! Thats 78hr workweek, no healthcare, and poorer living conditions to you! (Plus delivering food on the side so we have money to lose on sports betting)
Didnt benn jordan literally find out some of the cameras still have video of when they were in the factory?
Def longer than 30 days, let alone 7.
You guys have land?
You’re so close lmao
“Scanning 20 billion vehicles a month” sounds like they scanned vehicles 20 billion times to meeee. Aint english grand friend.
How is it too expensive? Surely it’s generating way more profit than it would cost in value. How else could it be propping up the entire economy?
Itd have to be some kind of bubble and that would mean we were in a lottttt of danger and should reasses our use of it.
Nah we should just reduce our use because its too expensive and then stop thinking about it beyond that.
And as someone else pointed out in a different thread. No reselling disks or giving to friends.
Everyone has to buy their own downloaded copy per account.
And they dont have to soend the money for the reader. And the game company doesnt have to distribute hardware and can take more profit from the retailers.
Because im a nerd and like doing math too.
20,000,000,000 / 30 days in a month Divided by the 110,077 mapped alprs (theres definitely more than that)
Its 6056 scans per device on average per day. Or roughly 4.2 scans per minute per camera.
Keeping in mind theres definitely more cameras than that so the ratio is even more favorable. Definitely seems accurate enough for a news headline.
Nah those numbers are weak. If you think about how the scanner probably runs at 20-60hz or something you could x20-60 those numbers for every second they were scanned!
That said, theres at least 4 scanners at every intersection in the main city near me that are definitely scanning the same car 4 different ways every time it passes. So i could believe 670million scans a day.
About 670million times a day too many still.
Its been over a decade since i last sat in a hammock and read a book. Kinda excited for the internet to die now tbh.
Yeah as this junk starts to encroach more and more on things it just means i either spend time finding ways around it, or go outside more often (and find ways around it in the outdoors version as well)
At no point would i ever go through with this crap.
Just reminds me of early internet “here’s a free thing, just give me your credit card #”
Nah ill just go without thanks.
The dongle itself connects to the mouse. As far as the computer is concerned, your mouse is plugged in (via the dongle)
If it were connected over bluetooth, you wouldnt need the dongle. Youd just pair the mouse to the pc directly.
Odds are the dongle is just using a standard 2.4ghz connection to the mouse like wifi/Bluetooth, but that doesnt matter for your question.
No no, they’re on to something. No repeating decimals too!
Def an interesting read.
The end bit for folks here:
Protecting yourself
Avoid switching servers more than once per pubkey (every 1-30days)
Force rotate your pubkey by logging out of the Mullvad app
Indeed. It’s not bike fuel prices, it’s bike GAS prices.
That said, maybe some people consume petrol and use that to power their bike ride to the hospital. Never know i suppose.
Reminds me when fascists / fascist enablers were surprised rage against the machine were left leaning
