I guess the army doesn't know a drone from a plane then? the following comes from the DOD.

_We have had confirmed sightings at Picatinny Arsenal and Naval Weapons Station Earle," the spokesperson said

"To date, we have no intelligence or observations that would indicate that they were aligned with a foreign actor or that they had malicious intent," the spokesperson said. "But ... we don't know. We have not been able to locate or identify the operators or the points of origin." _

people are generally ok. put them in a situation where they can climb over other people to advance and watch the rot begin.

so, while people are generally ok, corporate people are generally not.

whilst updating the firmware on my Epson printer, I was presented with their updated EULA which - shock and surprise /s- limits users rights to seek relief in court or participate as part of a class in any class action suit.

While you can't update the firmware without accepting the terms of the new EULA, they do describe a way to opt-out of the provisions which limit your legal rights. You simply need to send a letter to them saying you want to opt out of those provisions. ** BUT** you only have 30 days from the date you accept the EULA to opt-out.

For anyone inclined, I've included a template of the letter I sent for myself to save others time in doing the same.

I know this post didn't coin the term 'enshitification", but it really is a great way to describe the monetization of everything that was once good on the internet

I've always had a niggling worry that downloading apps from 3rd party app stores came with a higher risk of getting apps with viruses and spyware.

any truth to this?
