Don’t get me wrong, I have no problem blaming both Apple and Microsoft. Corporations are not my friends 😁

tldr: if Apple does something bad, blame Microsoft?

And Canadians

It is too much pressure for Reddit to have this many users. They’re doing their best to get rid of them. It’s just too much to handle… Poor Reddit

To top up your comment, you can get the permissions required for each extension in Firefox for Android. Extension Manager --> click the extension --> Permissions

In the case of this specific extension, it requires access to the data of only 3 domains :

• youtube.com
• youtube-nocookie.com
• vimeo.com

Many other extensions are far worst in regards to permissions that this one.

It is a good habit to check what are the permissions required before using any extension or phone apps for that matter.

Thanks for the reminder!

Going back to this wretched place gave me PTSD…

Let’s be real, any VW cars with a head unit with maps capabilities and a SIM card are certainly tracked down. Why would it be limited to electric drivetrain cars only? There’s no GPS in the motors… It’s in the head unit

There’s probably a way to spoof the Android OS right?

This is pretty much his argument… WTF indeed

I know it’s hard to believe but there are people on the Internet who are not living in the USA.

I know right?! But I swear it’s true.

I see you point and I agree. It’s not all black and white.

I don’t pretend to know the solution to this dilemma but hopefully this whole sad situation might trigger the conversation towards one.

Penguinz0 just released a video about it and I have to admit that the character.ai AI are disturbingly convincing. They keep arguing they are real persons and, for vulnerable peole, you can get lost.

Definitely some gross negligence from the AI platform here in my honest opinion. It’s easy to put some guardrails when you make a chatbot, but they didn’t.

Btw, you don’t know what the parents did and did not to help their son. I don’t know either. So it’s better to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Edit: I’m not an American and I would never understand why anyone would own guns.

I’m pretty sure it is actually the fastest chimney construction ever!

See?! It even forms a dust cloud around the workers because they work so fast!

Sadly, most new cars are Internet connected nowadays, not just EV.

In fact, GM got caught selling customers data from their ICE cars (OnStar connected).

Very true. Although out of warranty doesn’t mean the battery needs replacement. There are many Teslas out there (because there are not many other EV that old yet) that have 700 000 km and more, some even closing in to the million km, and on average their battery SoH is still over 70%.

Again as the article says, the car will need replacement for pretty much everything else (suspension, steering, etc) before the HV battery.

Again, the battery is not something to be concerned about, even long term.

Why would you worry about the battery when it has a 8-10y warranty on it on average? The only reason to replace it is if it has a manufacturing problem and that’s why there’s a warranty. Don’t void the warranty and you’ll be fine.

You don’t have to change the high voltage battery on EV nowadays.

I might be wrong but the fact that they enable the option by default to everyone (but EU it seems) allow themselves to collect all the posts you already made right away.

Turning it off will only prevent them from using your future posts.

So they already have trained their AI with your data. They certainly won’t “untrain” it after you switch the option off. You can’t unring that bell…

All companies are using this scumbag approach to get your data: auto opt-in everyone, get all existing data then give the illusion that you can opt-out with a useless option.

I hate this
