if it wasnt for the fact it's about a current controvertial presedential figure, if you didnt recognise the man as donald trump, this would be a really good fit. (people on this community can be wierd about the no-contextness somtimes)

So software is running on your car that desprately tries to extract and sent your peronal information to its command and control server.

I was going to say "be stingy with access to the OBD / CAN port" but if wireless is involved then avoid the beacon (its wireless and tucked away in a corner so you dont know if its there) or get your data stolen. I feel violated.

If you ever want to know how many apps use gapps on your phone, android apps with the hook have a "google play services avalability" notification channel, ive seen the settings app spam me notifications about its longing for gapps.

Dont let me discourage you though.

This is why I shouldnt comment when angry... You will say dumb shit you will reget later. So yes, looney tunes bullshit.

My guess is that they looked at their screen reader API, saw that it wasnt 100% of the text on screen and said fuck it! Were using OCR!

It feels like this was intended for buisnesses to monitor for phrases on your screen like "coolmath games unblocked free"

or to extract and upload a summary of what happened every second of every day to the server defined in the group policy.

I dont know your situation, is explorer.exe running on your account? Check if you can Alt+Tab or Alt+(Fn+)F4. The pills may be making you loose your pnemonic access to your keyboard. Try to run, hide and wait for the effects to wear off, and try the above.

Once you are sober, and if you can remember Scroll Lock, Hold Ctrl and press it twice. I dont know what you are. Best case senario, you walk away with the drug somethat in your system, worst case senario is memory corruption, memory loss and being put in a coma until somone finds you.

And I BOUGHT pro! Went to Neo launcher when I started GraphineOS. May move to launchair if/when it supports work profile.

I hate that they don't support them after a while, those with a locked bootloader wont even get a chance. It makes these phones junk from all the CVEs that are being found.

• What old model would you recommend?
• Is something like postmarketOS viable yet?
• What phones are/will be effected?
• Do existing phones planned for the program have the payload sitting there dormant or will the system updater (on googled android) need to download the payload?

Probably about as effective as keeping an air tag or tile tracker in one. That is, if the problem behavior isn't correctly disabled by or even encouraged the OS.

kinda what @null@slrpnk.net said, we should probably wait for graphineOS's expert opinion on the matter.

are you referring to the new “Privacy Sandbox” or the old “Privacy Sandbox”. because if there calling this new thing a “Privacy Sandbox” after the old one lost public attention after they kept promising it for years, I am going to laugh or maybe cry.

it looks like its going to be a hardware feature. if the main CPU is off, it implies the radio circuitry and its CPU (the BBM) are still powered. give google this at least, the special new Bluetooth API will be accessible to whatever OS is alive and awake to send commands (even if I don't trust that "off" means "off"). the fact that its using encryption (that's too complicated to be made out of Integrated Circut logic) means its likely another software feature added to the BBM co-processor (it handles all radio tasks on the phone). this all but confirms the BBM (at least going forward) will still get power, be awake and have access to the (transmit (TX) and reseave (RX) functions of the) radios even when everything else is properly off.

EDIT: or it could be an abuse of a generic BLE beacon mechanism that's "just there for whatever the consumer would need it for". but if they are doing proprietary encryption like they claim, that's not really possible without updating the BBM's software to add another feature.

I wrote a small bulk file management tool that I needed for my work. I wrote it in an easy language (javascript+nodejs). It got the job done and took maybe an hour. But I noticed its flaws and imperfections. So i made a new tool in a very hard to learn language (rust) its taken me months and is already moderately better. In ~2 weeks I will have a tool that I am satisfied with enough to post on the internet for anyone to use.

I could've posted my original (crude hammer of a) tool online months ago because, on a basic level they do the same thing regardless of how pleasant it feels to use. Have it posted online to be thrown into a pit full of other tools that do similarly wacky things that are interesting for all of 10 minutes. Tools that slowly break over time. Tools that are silently forgotten.

Not to be off topic... but... Your username... wirehead... its dark and disturbing and absolutely i love it!

I would love it if it sorted them more sensibly, was configurable, recognized more than 50% of my photos, and didn't put a trail mix of sensitive photos (like PII) on the screen.

Edit: being emotionally unguarded online isnt a bad thing, just... not without trusting the website in the same way you would with a trust fall. This was aimed more at Tik-tok like sites.

IG, if I'm not mistaken its kind of like Tik-tok in that its a shotgun blast of random, emotionally charged ideas. Because the consumer is actively positioned to engage with the content in an unshielded emotional state (the player actively discourages/disallows pausing that would give you time to emotionally or mentally digest what you are watching, its also so simple you don't need to). With this setup, the user is uncritically (almost like hypnosis) influenced by what users make and then what Facebook spins it to mean. No matter how manipulative it may be.

This feels like a patch over a broken system to protect them from the parasitic ideas the users would be vulnerable to, as well as genuine activism, trans people, and other false-positives the "political" filter picks up.

Facebook would just apply a secret global filter for ideas they don't want you to see, only placing the manipulation into the "political" filter when they need a scapegoat and the ability to look progressive.

2 people talking past each other, sounding ready for a fist fight. These people are scarry.
