Wouldn’t companies also be able to do it on any WiFi device, like a phone or a smart watch?

That the person they belong to is a dick.

When it was formed

Their car was nearly totaled. It’s possible there were parts of the deer somewhere, but my wife, police, and tow truck driver weren’t able to find any.

How old are your folks?

My parents hit a deer at 40mph with their Forester and it turned into pink mist. The only “mass” left of it was just a head. I have no doubt the CT is not as safe as regular vehicles, but I don’t think the outcome of object getting hit by something at 75mph is going to be an indicator of safety.

The advantages are starting your car remotely in the hot or cold months to pre-cool/preheat the cabin, defrost the windows, etc. and let the engine warm up for a couple of minutes.

I don’t fully buy into the ‘both sides are the same’ argument. I do believe the two parties are not different enough though. Basic shit like universal healthcare, civil rights, taxing the wealthy by closing loopholes, etc. should be what the left is doing in my opinion.

Because they are complicit. The two parties are not the same, they differ on a few dozen topics, of which the public is acutely aware. For the other 1,000,000+ issues, they are either in agreement or are complicit in Republican ideology.

I think it’s a valid argument. For example, if someone wants to read Shakespeare but they aren’t a strong reader, you could provide a simpler version, while acknowledging it isn’t as originally intended. It allows for accessibility for a larger audience while not changing the experience for others. You wouldn’t tell someone to read a different story genre instead. This isn’t tools, where we have to bend the laws of physics, it’s changing some numbers in a database, and something already done for higher level difficulty settings, so just allow a version that is easier. No one is forcing anyone to play it that way.

Sounds like we might find out how the courts will view it.

Doesn’t matter what his reasons were to wipe the device, that’s the point of privacy, not to hide criminal activities.

People have no idea. I read an article a month ago or so that said that WiFi 7 can use radio/sound frequencies to identify individual people in its range. About 20 years ago a theory was proven to be 80+% accurate at capturing passwords by using a microphone to remotely listen to someone type on a keyboard for a while. Websites, applications, operating systems, hardware, carriers, satellites, vehicle manufacturers, payment processors, healthcare systems, watches, GPS, TVs, etc. are all collecting information whether in good faith or not, and various entities, including the government and private companies, are paying and/or using regulatory enforcement to gather it all. The fight for privacy has already been lost. And most people don’t care or are willing to accept it. The silver lining the thought that it’s not worth fighting it anymore is kind of relieving.

Flock cameras are not LPR cameras. They are regular security cameras, with server-based AI. They even show demos to potential customers showing how the their product can search for specific people based on clothes, animal types, children/babies, strollers, carts, etc. across the entire country from one web-based interface. It’s all very Orwellian and I don’t think this issue either starts nor stops with Flock as a company. This type of surveillance is going to be ubiquitous regardless of what company(s) show up for making money from it.
