I thought so too, but then I found out they get the blood from regular blood banks, so presumably they’ve all gone through the proper screenings. But maybe a miracle will happen, I can always hope. they should just let blood donors check no for “do you want us to sell your blood to an old rich vampiric gently caress?” or yes if you have some horrible disease.

if I was starting to suspect that some of the smartphone apps I use I.e. the Reddit app was surfacing me ads based on conversations it overheard or emails I sent (via desktop, not my phone) would there be any way to prove that?

I bought a Roomba with our tax return last year and it just started running like absolute poo poo. I checked the little smart app on my phone and it showed me a little diagnostic screen that said a ton of parts were worn out and needed to be replaced, like $150 worth of stuff, then linked me to a purchase page. I ended up taking it apart and cleaning\realigning everything and it works fine now. What kind of scam is that poo poo and who is so lazy that they'd just throw out perfectly good parts instead of cleaning them? Has to be someone. At any rate, thank god the government is shut down, otherwise I'd have return money to spend on more stupid poo poo this year.

Constantly talk/email via desktop about something you could get ads for that you'd never web search or email or type into your phone. Pokemon or 1000 count Egyptian cotton sheets or Faraday cages or down jackets or tinfoil hats or whatever, something that would never usually come up in conversation.

You can check if the app has permission to your phones mic. This isn't a guarantee that the app isn't listening but larger and more popular apps won't usually risk using fuckery since they can be kicked off app stores for it.

Big corps know that they’re too big to fail. At worst they’ll be off the store for a couple of days while a declawed version is rushed through Apple’s approval.

The answer to the question "did (side in the cold war) do (ridiculous, petty thing) to gently caress with the other" is basically always yes. It was probably peak passive aggression.

It’s true, and the answer for Washington state (where there’s a measles outbreak) is “you can get vaccinated at thirteen without your parents’ permission but you’ll get the belt when the insurance company sends them a letter. If you dodge that, they can request your vaccination data from the state, who will happily provide it, but they’d have to be pretty paranoid to do that.” P.S.: You can’t ban unvaccinated kids from your daycare in Washington if they claim a religious exemption.

I don't think that warning is entirety accurate. Could daycares claim to subscribe to a 'religion of sanity' and ban unvaccinated kids and staff on religious grounds?

Can we just start shooting antivaxxers and assure them that lead is all-natural which means it is good for them? We could even tell them they're supporting the second amendment to appeal to the MAGAmoms. (i kid, i kid, let's not shoot people, that would be wrong and bad)

Syncopated posted:I predict that just like with TVs, if fridges aren't there already, it will soon be impossible or prohibitively expensive to buy a non-smart fridge. Unlike TVs where the panel is the commodity and the value add is in the software, refrigerators don't come with Android tablets glued to the them as a matter of course. Like Salmonella James says though, the idea itself is dumb enough to hurt you if you examine it. There's not even a semblance of utility in the concept for the end user on which to hang a value proposal. What I don't understand is that if the data of what's in the fridge is so valuable to the manufacturer that they're willing to keep trying the smart fridge idea, why not just stick a camera in there and not mention it? Say it connects to wifi for "diagnostics" or some poo poo or have it sniff out unsecured networks.

It's not valuable to the manufacturer, it's a scam to convince other people the data is valuable and get them to buy it. In that respect, openly making it a smart fridge convinces those people that you do indeed have a lot of data.
