why have you shadow banned my account?

I compared pricing from hotels next to the airport (that have free shuttle service) and they appear to be $20-30 cheaper on Uber vs the airport pickup point. Planning on trying this on my next trip.

CBDC is being evaluated by pretty much every countries central bank. Governments are eager to roll out Central Bank Digital Currency as it will be the ultimate form of control on citizens.

CBDC will allow govts, at their discretion, connect your money to your ‘good citizen score’ (much like China’s Social Credit Score) and lock you out of society.

degenerates will be stoned, don’t worry. And all liberal strongholds will become shitholes like Chiraq.

The account owner will need to purchase an extra member slot

Lol, no thanks.

Great time to buy puts for next earnings.

the puppet in office that needs direction on where to walk and how to talk. Also, no questions allowed.

and now that we know it was Clinton, Obama, and intelligence agencies pushing that propaganda, plebbit won’t want to hear nothing about it.

old enemies coming together, they must be out of options

you can buy comma.ai hardware, its base use is "dashcam"

you can, at your discretion, load self-driving software (openpilot), which can take over driving for you, in addition to maintaining dashcam footage

they have a subscription that will store footage in the cloud too, iirc

Google Maps records everything and sends it to the cloud to log your entire journey while using the app. They've made it into a feature to show "average speed" and similar details in the Maps app.

They have your speed, where you began and where you were going. Way more damning.

Install feels almost suspiciously easy coming from the likes of cyanogenmod.

this is a great teaser statement

I miss the days of having to open 9 xda threads to figure out how to install some ROM. That whole scene seems to have died off as Android puts up more walls to increase reliance on locked down services

one of the contributing factors is because iOS offers native search support for DDG and they don't any other providers (eg. Brave)

precisely, every single one of these reports is PR to pump Airbnb

Long-term stays, or stays for 28 nights or longer, were 18% of total gross nights booked, a decline from the previous quarter, when they accounted for 21% of total nights booked.

This guys opinion is meaningless. Any coverage of his statements should be seen as corporate PR trying to drive more bookings, to boost their 10% “platform fee” revenues.

80% of company revenues driven by ads

- DNS-level adblocking, to make app usage bearable

it's possible with AdGuard Pro and similar apps on iOS, although it's obviously not possible to run these apps with root privileges, like AfWall and others.

google is mining inputs as training data which EU may sue them for later

Outside of the ads group the majority of Google’s rest and vest workforce delivers little shareholder value

Modi is corrupt. The guy does not have the interest of the country at heart, he just cares about the Ambanis and increasing the wealth of his political allies.

brave supports this feature (background audio)

Brave browser and/or UBO on Firefox does the job, while preventing Google from building profile about logged in YT watching habits.

links out to a better article and writeup at-least, techradar is a bottom of the barrel content regurgitation outlet

Chinese manufacturing still dominates and they produce most of the routers and modems out there. If we can’t trust routers from China then virtually the entire world is compromised.

imagine the intricate profiles Facebook has built on everyone, especially when it's siphoning data regularly from apps which are opened. This goes for all dating apps to any page with a "like" button, or a FB conversion scripts, to whatever data companies pump to FB to do ad-targeting (phone numbers, emails)

it is possible to hire the research division, you just have to be a multi-billion dollar enterprise. They do joint research partnerships and outsourcing for large organizations to build out new technology. IBM is not very good at commercializing IP, so the partner takes on that responsibility.

her role crashing the company into the ground is completely omitted in her book, which has been popping up on my linkedin feed. Her gender and former title is clearly more important than what she accomplished, much like Marrisa Mayer.

PR to give people the illusion that Microsoft cares about consumers

This is merely part of the strategy to drive blows at companies like Apple to hurt margins associated with closed off ecosystems

“Conspiracy theory” was popularized by the CIA to advance their interests and obfuscate their operations.

Apple will happily communicate with mothership even if you turn off mobile data or wifi.

can you elaborate on this? how are they doing this?

has any of the recent attempts to the moon given us footage of the lunar lander and other machinery that was left behind from the prior missions?

this would easily put the conspiracy theories to bed
