Checkout Kagi. You can blacklist sites. You can also weight certain sites higher than others. I've been using it for almost a year at this point. When I'm forced to use Google at work, I am legitimately less effective at finding the information I need.
I have had an itch to disect an Aura frame and do something akin to the Tonie Box jailbreak. But I am too afraid of being responsible for bricking our frame and I can't justify spending the money on one just for R&D.
I have had PMs and POs spend hours with the dev team spilling all the tea because they think it will help the devs better craft their vision. This particular aspect is very plausible to me.
My tinfoil hat might be on too tight again... but the timing of this exploit coinciding with Google's full court press on Android user rights is just a little suspect. Especially after the ongoing public education campaign about the evils of "sideloading" an Android application.

As an American solo developer, I am close to doing the same. These mega-corps are out of control.
My tinfoil hat has me wondering if it's just coincidence.
For anyone else who thought this was simply a rad chip, it's radiation hardened
If one wanted to attend the festival without being subjected to facial recognition software, I might recommend masks from http://www.urmesurveillance.com/ or something similar. A number of sites selling "anti-facial-recognition" masks have opened in the last few years.
I'd be curious to hear from a lawyer if a system like this would cause a Rosario violation (in New York, for instance).
Unless I'm missing something, this doesn't address the author's concern of keeping all IM sessions confined to a single desktop window. It's simply a method of using Facebook's Messenger platform without having facebook.com loaded in a browser. So it placates users with privacy concerns regarding opening Facebook on a corporate network, but it does nothing for the advocate of a single chat client.
I just downloaded it, and I have to say... this plugin is really cool and extremely powerful.
Two things:
1) It needs to be more clear that your data needs to be in a "table" for the plugin to work. Unless I'm mistaken, the only place that is stated (except for the tutorials) is embedded within the screenshot on the homepage. Add a help or FAQ page, and highlight this point!
2) I'm not a fan of the personal license having restricted use in a domain environment. I have a domain controller in my house, and many of my IT-professional friends do too. My house is not a commercial space. I like the software, and I would definitely pay $28 for a license, but I think $50/year is too steep to be able to use this at home.
