In the meantime, you can turn off a lot of Google’s tracking, or at least their record keeping. Make sure you’ve disabled all of the tracking you can.

I won’t speak to how the UK does things, but in the US this would make for an easier criminal charge.

It can be difficult to prove that someone stole (or is about to steal) a car, or broke in to steal the contents. This is especially true if they weren’t apprehended in or with the vehicle itself. But if they are arrested on suspicion, and one of these devices is found on them, they can very easily be prosecuted for possession of criminal tools. It’s similar to how we normies can’t legally own a lockpicking kit unless we’re locksmiths.

Not removed - never added to the US designs. They were added afterwards to models being sold in places that require them.

This could’ve been a delightful meta joke, and I was disappointed to see that it wasn’t.

The last minute to implement a change is on Thursday. No changes on Friday, for the same reason there are no changes on Saturday.

So it should be on Thursday at 4:59.

Betteridge says no.

• He recognized there was a problem and sought out experts that could solve it
• He listened to the experts, even though he didn’t like what they were saying

While I appreciate that rule in many communities, there’s nothing stopping them from posting a summary or even editorial in the body.

TL;DW:

A lot of science-related YouTube channels get indirect funding from the US government.

That really only shows assets, not income. While that’s very important information for senators (who coincidentally push bills that will benefit their portfolio), it doesn’t address income. $34 million doesn’t start from a Senate salary, no matter how well invested.

Most additional income comes from things like book deals and speaking fees.

In order to do business in Mexico, they must agree to Mexican laws.

In order to do business in Canada, they must follow Canadian laws.

In order to do business in the US, they must follow US laws kiss the ring.

This isn’t the first time big tech has had to tackle something like this. Usually it’s with disputed territory. In that case, each region gets to see what it demands to see, while presenting something different to the rest of the world.

What did those poor cables do to you to get the Liam Neeson treatment?

But can it spy on users for marketing purposes? That’s the real question.

I would be so happy to have President Camacho right now

If you have a Chase account, the best time to close it was 20 years ago.

The second best time is right this very second.

Even ignoring this story, with the collapse of the CFPB, you are about to get screwed harder than you can even imagine.

Counter point: Lemmy has always been more toxic.

I’ve never seen a group (as a whole) that’s less capable of accepting that there are things they don’t know, or other viewpoints.

Unsurprisingly, fitness is always more complicated than it seems.

You are certainly correct that runners don’t burn (much) more calories than a couch potato. But weightlifters do, vs a couch potato of the same weight.

The thing about cardio is that the calories go directly into effort. The calories burned are roughly proportional to the effort (distance). But the moment you stop, the calories stop getting burned.

If you are doing weightlifting, the calories spent at the time to lift a heavy object are minimal. But it instructs your body to add muscle to better handle all the heavy lifting you do. Once you have that muscle, you burn a ton of calories 24 hours per day just keeping it alive. It becomes part of your base metabolic rate. It burns nearly the same calories whether you’re at the gym, or sitting on the couch. And it will continue to burn those calories until your body decides you no longer need that extra muscle mass and it atrophies.
