Also I got a yt ad for some scam my project funded by Elon Musk and Bill Gates where Canadians invest $250 and get regular cheques for $1000. It’s a pyramid scheme or something. But no way to report

Buce posted:this been said before but it's infuriating how youtube recommends rightwing/fascist bullshit no matter how often you block the channels and try in vain to coach the algorithm. just a loving joke Mine definitely does not do this and is mostly filled with David Letterman episodes from the 1980s could be either: 1) Regional settings for Americans 2) If you watch any 'news' on youtube it probably assumes you have brainworms and starts showing other political crap

Doesn't matter how often I press "do not recommend this channel" it always comes back. Edit: what's extra cool is when I have my 9 year old kid here and he's watched a video about zelda or fortnite my entire feed is all alt-right bullshit, small ben, joe rogan and loving jordan peterson.

Not allowing your employees to use the company's product because management believes it makes them less competitive is a strong move.

But no way to report podcast commercials are even worse, it's now to the point if a service advertises on podcasts I do not trust it's legit. that's where the buy-gold scams have gone, I ain't trusting poo poo from that marketplace. we regulated advertising, but only for existing media like tv and magazines. poo poo like YT and podcasts are the wild west.

I've been digging it because for the last few years we've been in drought conditions and I've been worried about my well going dry, so all this water is like a huge deposit on the future of my well. Sorry if you got flooded.

ThinkTank posted:I don't own a Ford but I saw them advertising the FordPass app which seems to have moved features like remote unlock and remote start to your phone (presumably to make it a monthly subscription feature). It takes all your driving and personal data and in exchange you get exciting FordPass reward points which it helpfully suggests you can redeem for badges to give you bragging rights over your friends. Hasn't every car had an app for those remote features for ages now? Are you saying they're putting it in the app and removing it from the key fob? Cause if so then yea that's beyond dumb. Sharing the digital key seems fine imo. A scary hacker needs physical access to your car in order to do anything. And anyone with physical access to your car and the ability to steal your digital key could probably steal your car using a more traditional method. The only issue I could see is if the digital key allowed access to the GPS location of the car and then a remote hacker could sell it to someone local or something but that seems super unlikely

if you open your car by any means other than a physical key, the car companies are laughing at you.

mawarannahr posted:if you open your car by any means other than a physical key, the car companies are laughing at you. Does the remote unlock fob count as they key? Mine is built INTO the actual key, if that helps? My car also still needs an actual physical, metal key inserted and turned to start, no push-button. It's a 2019, so surprised it ISN'T just an RFID (or whatever they are) fob. I'm guessing it'll be the last (new/newish) car I own that still uses one.

Ford pass is in addition to the key fob, and you're not required at all to use it. It's free to use, and it can come in handy on certain very specific occasions. The basic functions are free forever (though I'm sure at some point there will be a shutoff for older vehicles or the network older cars run on will get shutdown and you'll lose it or have to pay for new hardware). I'm sure Ford is collecting telematics out the rear end and will try to sell the data or use it in a way that's lovely, though.

Is private equity shorting Zoom or something? Doing a stealth layoff and then going "all your data are belong to me", and I'm sure a price hike is coming, can't be good for their growth.

naem posted:food prices jumping so much has me honestly concerned This passage kinda haunts me, even though I should be armored against stuff like it: E.M. Forster in 1909 posted:Time passed, and they resented the defects no longer. The defects had not been remedied, but the human tissues in that latter day had become so subservient, that they readily adapted themselves to every caprice of the Machine. The sigh at the crises of the Brisbane symphony no longer irritated Vashti; she accepted it as part of the melody. The jarring noise, whether in the head or in the wall, was no longer resented by her friend. And so with the mouldy artificial fruit, so with the bath water that began to stink, so with the defective rhymes that the poetry machine had taken to emit. All were bitterly complained of at first, and then acquiesced in and forgotten. Things went from bad to worse unchallenged.

Thanks for sharing, it reminds me of The Dead Flag Blues by GYBE, which has probably become cliché by now but what can I say, it's effective. Godspeed You!
