Anton Yelchin was killed due to traumatic asphyxiation when he thought he parked his Jeep and got out of the car and it then rolled into him and crushed him against a gate. Arguably the blame falls on GM for building one of those stateless shifters that always pops back to the center.

I haven't used OneDrive but the iCloud Drive and Google Drive clients are similarly terrible. I one time had 5 GB of complex nested file structure in iCloud Drive and it totally froze up. I tried 2 different Mac's, an iPhone, and an iPad and none of them were able to sync up with the server to get those 5 GB out of the cloud. I had to request a GDPR to get a .zip file of my data... this was the impetus for me to switch to Dropbox although after the way they handled their layoffs I am looking to switch to Syncthing as soon as I have the time to set it up and get familiar.

Hence why I use Cryptomator to encrypt my data. Apparently OneDrive marks this as ransomware and sends you scary emails but does not lock your account. So far Dropbox does not seem to care about Cryptomator at all.

Edit: Not to defend Dropbox, but just saying there is a mitigation if you need it.

Why does everything need to be acquired these days? Why do we consolidate everything into a few big companies? Why can’t we just have technology spread out across multiple players.

Have been thoroughly "osbourned" by the ARM macs.

Moot point, Apple won’t delay the release of their new chips to preserve resale value on customers devices, that’s nonsensical.

What the heck is Disney doing with location data inside the park? And why facial recognition? To fight crime?

Yeah and what are the odds Disney is correlating their license plate scanners with anything in the park? I’d assume the license plates only get looked at if a crime occurs

It’s not about the obesity, it’s about the metabolic disease. We have T2 diabetic children with human foie gras. Why? Because of the standard American diet, accurately named SAD.

Yeah everyone seems to be very focused on sex whereas to me the problem is not fostering intimate connections in the first place. We don’t have an epidemic of relationships that aren’t having sex, we’re having an epidemic of people who aren’t fostering those relationships and as a downstream byproduct they aren’t having sex. Pay a prostitute is a bandaid patch on the downstream problem, but it will never makeup for the loneliness hole of the upstream problem
