Who owns your shiny new Pixel 9 phone? You can’t say no to Google’s surveillance
  • AdAway, AFWall+ (for restricting network access to apps), Root File Explorer (needed to get my watch working with GadgetBridge), Permission Manager X, Xposed Edge Pro (for hardware keys remapping), Pixels (for a hardware display fix)

  • Won't someone please think of the boomers?!
  • Whoa, wanting less people via having fewer kids isn't eugenics, it's wishful thinking. I don't subscribe to the idea of forcing people to have fewer kids.

    Edit: I can see how it sounds like I am advocating for eugenics in my earlier post. I will update it.

  • Won't someone please think of the boomers?!
  • You're not wrong, but this is more of a class issue than a generational issue, although in this case they certainly intersect. My boomer parents don't have any money; they got screwed over by the 1% just like the rest of us.

  • Won't someone please think of the boomers?!
  • I'll debate it. The world would be way better off with about 6 billion less people in the world.

    Edit: My apologies. I am NOT advocating for eugenics, mass murder, or anything else. My thought of having fewer people is wishful thinking of what a better world would be like if we simply never got to 7 billion people in the first place.

  • Men Harassed A Woman In A Driverless Waymo, Trapping Her In Traffic
  • This made me wonder though...the car obviously has cameras on the outside, and there's also a way to communicate with the support team from inside...so is it a stretch to think that these cars could be auto-recording everything that's happening inside the car?

    Should we - as riders - have any expectation of privacy in a car with no driver?

  • Opt out now.
  • I fully expect PayPal to harvest and share the United States data anyway - regardless if you opt out - and they'll get a slap on the wrist 5 years later when someone finds out about it.

  • Opt out now.
  • Because it's accepted all over the internet and is the only way to pay on many websites.

    It's also a way to send money to friends, just like venmo and such. And just like venmo and such, has very few consumer protections or regulation.

    The US doesn't have a national or government system to freely send payments to other people - and no one uses checks anymore - so we all have to pick one of these equally awful private companies to use to send money and hope we don't get scammed or have our account frozen and our money seized.

  • How come LED Light Bulbs only last for about 2-3 Years?
  • +1 for philips.

    The problem is most of what the big box hardware stores in the US are selling are junk brands. And they won't even offer basics like a philips 75-watt-equivalent soft-white led in their stores.

    The junk brand bulbs will fail in my kitchen light fixture after a year (they start flickering). The philips bulbs have never failed for me.

    A properly designed and produced led bulb should last like 20 years.
