So software is running on your car that desprately tries to extract and sent your peronal information to its command and control server.

I was going to say "be stingy with access to the OBD / CAN port" but if wireless is involved then avoid the beacon (its wireless and tucked away in a corner so you dont know if its there) or get your data stolen. I feel violated.

it looks like its going to be a hardware feature. if the main CPU is off, it implies the radio circuitry and its CPU (the BBM) are still powered. give google this at least, the special new Bluetooth API will be accessible to whatever OS is alive and awake to send commands (even if I don't trust that "off" means "off"). the fact that its using encryption (that's too complicated to be made out of Integrated Circut logic) means its likely another software feature added to the BBM co-processor (it handles all radio tasks on the phone). this all but confirms the BBM (at least going forward) will still get power, be awake and have access to the (transmit (TX) and reseave (RX) functions of the) radios even when everything else is properly off.

EDIT: or it could be an abuse of a generic BLE beacon mechanism that's "just there for whatever the consumer would need it for". but if they are doing proprietary encryption like they claim, that's not really possible without updating the BBM's software to add another feature.

I would love it if it sorted them more sensibly, was configurable, recognized more than 50% of my photos, and didn't put a trail mix of sensitive photos (like PII) on the screen.

Good bot

You laugh now... but it actualy exists/existed

The problem is we want/are forced to let kids to have access to the big internet pipe but we also dont, we want to moderate what gets through.

I feel like most adults struggle with maintaining boundries on usage let alone kids. I do not like the antagonistic arelationship between child and parent that smartphones naturally create. I think a dumb phone and some other machine "to fill the void" and "to not feel left out" is the correct solution at least for me.

I wondered why LUUUUUKS didnt use the TPM, why do i have to put my password in... this is absolutely why.

Edit: fixed spelling of LUUUUUKS

I absolutely agree. Use somthing like ollama. do keep in mind that it takes a lot of compiting resources to run these models. About 5GB ram and about 3GB filesize for the smaller sized ollama-unsensored.

Stupid is too harsh. They could be as intelegent as you or me. but... they are told propaganda/marketing, the thing is made to hide its rough edges and the hype from the propaganda machine puts people in a hazey mindset where its hard to think.

Is this satire '/s'?

Usually populations do a few diffrent things under oppression:

1. everything is fine, look at our source of pride,
2. it sucks but what are you gonna do?
3. lay flat defeatism
4. WERE FUCKING BURNING SOMTHING

Right now they want to think we live in a option 1 and 2 country. We will be an option 3 and/or 4 verry soon. They cant mask the minipulation in option 4 and cant continue to funtion with either 3 or 4.

some is warranted, some is not, both sides have a copium dealer, mine is down the street from me.
