That makes it pretty useless. Sometimes you need to go on highways or between cities. Is it 50 miles or 50 kilometers?

My thoughts exactly.

I looked it up now, slate truck. Seems like a good idea. I never cared for infotainment at all.

No because we skipped the cool implants and passed more gun laws. So none of those budget firearm vending machines or gorilla arms and 2nd hearts.

In the early 2000s I saw ads online for devices to smuggle alcohol into concerts and sports games. I never clicked on the banners, but the banner showed binoculars with a hidden compartment to pour in alcohol like vodka.

They are hard on human eyes and also very obvious to human eyes is a major problem. I am hoping for there to be regular clothes that allow for strong facial-recognition/AI shielding that is futureproofed, but at the same wouldn’t be so obvious to regular human observers.

The last time I bought a dumb monitor was in 2024. I won’t be buying any for a long time.

They have no shame.

I have been wanting to get into this shit for years but have never even begun, save for the tryhackme invitation generator.

Maybe I should… Hollywood hacking magic is childsplay compared to the real thing.

At this point any law that they are proposing that claims to be against terrorism or protecting the children only serves to crush dissent. Real child protection hasn’t been considered for a long time.

Even if you can prove that repealing antiterrorism laws will mean more terrorism I think that is a risk we all need to take.

I just heard that, too.

Which is why they are going to war against it.

And literally no one is doing shit to stop this. It is almost like personal property rights, privacy, and everything else are now dirty words that will make you look like a criminal.

I hastily got a pixel 10 so I can have grapheneOS on it. I am glad that there is some good news.

Vancouver? Portland?

Fun fact: Dell now offers their ready made desktops in linux and windows. That never happened before. Windows had to really suck to get that shit go that bad.

Age verification is identity collection.

No shit. I don’t understand how anyone falls for this.

Also them using stuff like ‘online safety’ and ‘child safety’ in their legal titles needs to be used against them. Remember: Right-wing people NEVER use the words you want them to use, they always use their own. When copyright laws in the 90s were being reformed, many copyright/entertainment lawyers derided the laws by referring to them as the ‘Mickey Mouse copyright act’ because of Disney’s massive hand in how they were written and how they disproportionately benefited them.

Call it for what it is. Call it the survellience act, call it the child endangerment act, call it the transgender discrimination act. Don’t fucking fall for their ‘oh so you want anyone to groom children online’ talk through them, not to them. That is what they do to us anyway.

Or just use real CSAM from their own private collection and place it on your machine. Or even make a deepfake using your face pasted on theirs and those of your children or young relatives or random kids pasted onto the children. If you point out that this is a deepfake and you have the technical knowledge to prove it, they will use that as proof that you are actually trying to frame THEM.

Anyone who says there is no plan by large groups to control people is a fool. They aren’t some secret shadowy group that will vanish into thin air the moment some obese tinfoil hat wearing nutjob with a gun flashes a flashlight at them, but they’re so incredibly obvious that it is incredible many are still in denial about it.

Yes, the people at the top are incredibly stupid, but their plan isn’t something that needs genius level intellect to work. It just needs a fuckload of money and a compliant legislative branch, and they have both.

No idea.
