They only expose approximate, not precise, locations, so they shouldn't be a risk like GPS that exposes precise locations?

Be aware, this is VASTLY dependent on your ISP. Smaller ISP's especially DSL based ones in rural areas are notorious for giving almost exact address when you reverse look up it.

My old ISP used to do that. like I had to try super hard to mask my IP if I went somewhere like IRC or Chatango that disclosed the full address to people joining, because if someone wanted to they could have looked up my address down to the house just by following the remote lookup because it would show my address instead of their nearest hub.

Thankfully now it shows me somewhere in NY which I feel a lot more comfortable with, but still don't take for granted that it's only an approximate.

As for actual privacy risks? It really depends on how private you want to get. A reverse lookup will give you your provider, and sometimes as I said above more. And if you have any forwarding enabled they can also try to get through your services using any exploits or misconfigurations you may have.

Additionally, some routers will disclose a worryingly large amount of data if misconfigured, for example ATT modem/routers will give customer information, connected devices(including names) and VOIP phone configurations if you can get the router to think you are a local device or manage to misconfigure the management port to allow external connections. This is all without the requirement of a password/no auth

It likely is going to fall under child neglect. I don't know of an actual law specifically for locking a kid in a car.

As for the exceptions thing, that is the same in the states, it usually falls under law(s) categorized as "Good Samaritan laws". They are moreso meant to protect the bystander if they see someone in peril but, breaking the window to save a kid or pet that is clearly in distress would normally fall under that. Personal injury also usually fall under these laws, like if you accidentally injured someone getting them to safety (like after a car accident) when it was clear they were in a dangerous location, it helps relieve the bystander liability.

It's also supposed to be the reason that EMS/Fire/Police have Qualified immunity. because when the call to action arises, you don't want your first responders first thought to be "How will this negatively affect me" you want it to be "how can I do the most in this situation"

So many steps were taken here that made no sense. Like why would the mom even think it was ok, and why did the office tell the mom "Yea they can wait in the lobby" like I assume she didn't give an age or anything cause no office worker is going to knowingly allow this to happen, or allow a 1 and 2 year old to just sit in the lobby.

I agree, but I think that hurting the companies bottom line is more effective than waiting on an archaic court system to do something. Just look at how slow the /current/ monopoly case on google is going.

please don't pancake vs waffle me, especially considering that I have clarified to you what I meant by that post. Just because I explicitly state neglect in one, doesn't mean the other isn't neglectful. Neglect still falls under bad choices, however I would not call intent to kill just a "bad choice" which is was the point of the comparator in the first place. Not debate over if its neglect or not.

As for your analogy, I don't really think that is a safe analogy to apply to this situation. A child left without food and water for a week will always lead to death, a child being left alone for a few hours in a climate controlled area will not. It's a false analogy.

instead I will respond with a fairer analogy. "Would it be considered neglect to leave a child unsupervised for 3 hours but leave food in the fridge" which I would still say is yes, but it's weighed significantly less then someone who decided to go on vacation for a week leaving food in the fridge as was your first analogy. Or someone who didn't leave food at all, which is more compatible to the first glace at this page.

it would need to be advertised as a change and have it as a setting that had to be set yea, just have it default blocking abusive trackers, having Google bot or whatever it's crawler name is as on there, with a toggle to allow it again

I mean, with a company as large as cloudflare. I think they could /easily/ strong-arm this move by making blocking google crawlers a default setting on websites. The amount of traffic drop alone from that would make google think twice about the whole ordeal. And people who care about the google search indexers can turn them on again which will allow indexing again. but a default block would cause a lot of disruption google side and many people I don't think would go in and fix the setting till later on down the road.

Firmly agree with the statement that it was irresponsible because yes it was regardless.

However, disagree with the statement that a climate control system is not meant to be operated while idle. That is an old myth that I expect came from back when there was fewer electrical components in the car so not turning the ac /off/ before turning the vehicle off would risk damaging the cars electrical.

To a vehicle's climate control system it doesn't give a damn if it's driving or idle. Now, while being idle, you have less fuel efficiency, And if you don't have the engine running, it will drain more battery than needed, which will make your battery less efficient. But as for actual wear and tear on the components, running it at idle is almost no difference than whether you're driving with it on.

Again, though, didn't claim it wasn't irresponsible either way, But it's highly unlikely that Climate system would have failed if the vehicle had stayed on.

I'm not. I'm just saying that one imstance is significantly worse than the other. Just because I'm saying that doesn't mean I agree with either instance, But out of the two available instances, this one is the preferred instance over intentionally putting a child in a vehicle for two and a half hours with no AC.

It's defo irresponsibility regardless, 2+ hours in a car no supervision is garbage parenting regardless, I'm just saying that it's not like the parent intended the children was going to be in the heat, which in my opinion changes things drastically from someone making a poor choice with neglect or even an intent to kill, to someone who just made a really bad choice without the expectation anything bad will come out of it.

The parenting here was absolutely stupid either way, but one has a much worse intent and consequence than the other.

Correct yea, the 90 minute timeframe was without AC.

I'm waiting for the EU to eventually say "Ok nevermind, this is clearly a company that isn't going to be compliant. If not compliant by X date this company will no longer be allowed to operate here"

Or a hella massive fine for blatant waste of regulators time plus non-compliance.

She has pleaded not guilty to all charges and is being held in lieu of $1,080,000 bail,

My initial thought for this was "How do you plea Not Guilty willfully leaving two children in a car for 90 minutes." but then I found this later on

However, her 2022 Toyota Corolla Hybrid is equipped with an automatic feature that turns the engine off if it has been left running for one hour while in park, police said. Police estimate that the engine turned off around 3 p.m. and the children were left without air conditioning until Hernandez returned around 4:30 p.m.

Still super shitty, but also I think change the tone a little. Her expectation was that the car was going to be climate controlled for the procedure. Still stupid of her, and kids shouldn't be left alone that long, but it defo let me understand the "not guilty" plea

For clarification/elaboration. The car was running when she left them. Her mentality was that they were going to sit in the AC the entire time, but unbeknownst to her, the car had an auto-shutoff feature that turns off the car after 60 minutes of idle in park. Not that it makes it much better, but it's not like she intended the children to be in the heat that long.

don't tell me that the answer is just to "not bottle things up"

I hate to be that guy, and believe me I was in that boat once. But the solution is to not reach the point where you are exploding from the amount bottled up.

Humans are not meant to be stoic creatures. People have feelings, that's called being human. You need to find someone you can trust(NOT A COWORKER), and every once and awhile vent to them about things that you aren't able to resolve with the person that's causing the frustration. That's your best solution.

Reading your replies, this seems to be more a super toxic work environment issue which I think if you fix, will resolve most of your issues. Due to this, I recommend ON-TOP of the previous recommendation, also either contacting HR about it, or if you do not feel comfortable with doing that, finding another job. You should not be being bullied by anyone let alone a manager. There are so many work policies in place in most work environments protecting you against this, and not to mention most civilized countries have laws against it.

Being said, if you feel that it is less of a you bottle things up, and more of a you aren't thick skinned enough to be able to handle the every day work-life without having anger issues and exploding, you may also want to look into some form of Anger management or calming technique. But honestly, it sounds like it's a combination of the first two issues and less of an anger issue.

this right here is ultimately why I haven't moved my relatives to Mint. It usually works but, about time it doesn't I don't want to have to explain to someone who doesn't know what a browser is, how to run commands on the terminal or how to find an error log.

My biggest pet peeve is when an action/adventure type anime takes forever to get to what they set out to do with just talk no actual action.

Like One Piece's Alabasta Arc was a perfect example of it. I left the series for a solid like 6 months before going back to it because that arc was so tedious to watch. Tons of episodes of what is going to happen, and what needs to happen, but no episodes of actually doing what needs to happen.

this is how I manage blocks. Temporary bans unless it's a repeat offender.

This is like the third or fourth post in a few days I've seen that show the "blank" image on it. Did an image handler suddenly change how images are served or something? No image shows. (fits the community btw, because is mildly infuriating lol)

makes sense, you make less money on gamepass once established. It's great for lesser known games and starting out but, when you have a game as big as Helldivers where the name is already out there, putting it on gamepass stifles sales.
