Yes but most cars with an immobilizer can not be remotely activated unless a specific system is installed which is normally offered as a premium feature. Like if I had a keyless start Ford from 2014 Ford couldn’t remotely shut that car off.

No, there’s a few incredibly cheap cars that do not have these features. Also, I’ll just buy used cars. These features don’t exist in hardly any car before, like, 2015.

Yes, but I don’t have to buy a car with OnStar in it. It seems like every electric car has these OTA features at least in the states. In internal combustion cars that can avoid those features. I’d be more than happy to buy any one of these electric cars if I control the updates and there’s no always on connection.

Man, if all electric cars can do this bullshit, then I think I’m gonna just be stuck with an internal combustion engine no matter how bad they are for the environment.

Ain’t no way I’m gonna get into a vehicle that can be remotely disabled by a jackass.

This is a really interesting read, but this dude missed a major component of best practices, which is that your architecture needs to be able to respond to a proper disaster, which includes Amazon just dropping out of the sky and nuking your entire account.

Frankly, it’s shocking that he didn’t have local copies or a home server that he kept backups too. I’ve seen some people mention that a multi-cloud architecture is hard to set up, which is true, it’s also expensive, but I don’t think it would be super hard to set up, like, a blob storage in Azure, or a Google Cloud Storage, to just keep backups of whatever you’re working on. We should always keep in mind that our accounts getting locked is always a possibility.

It’s kinda weird, normally when you hear about things like this, it’s the other way around where somebody was running a major production component on personal infrastructure and couldn’t handle the bare metal.

During the entire article I kept thinking how it wasn’t best practice to use the same cloud for everything, that you needed a different cloud because occasionally, your account can just get nuked from orbit. People dont understand that these corporations are really just held together with luck prayers and duct tape. Software enables us to develop in the worst ways possible, and then call it production.

Heres the repo in case you want other internet things to look at

https://github.com/Gankra/cargo-mommy

The internet was never designed to exist in a capitalist hellscape. It was designed for the free sharing of information by people putting random servers on the network.

I stopped using these guys when it became clear they were doing everything they could to prevent the government from developing their own app.

US trade association News/Media Alliance announced it had secured the takedown of 12ft.io

Oh thats why that stopped working. Bunch of jerks.

You can develop apps on Android that do not utilize the notification system that sends information to Google.

There’s an entire development system called f droid that specifically focus on not utilizing Google services or Android services.

Graphene we’re entirely correct in their through critism of the application as some one that works with application security and privacy professionally.

Wow. Thats amazing.

I’ll keep in mind thanks

This is the best recommendation for a phone I’ve seen yet.

Companies only answer to profit and unfortunately we get to see the results. Can’t have those proles making 250 million dollars now. That would eat into the profits of our shareholders.

Well there wasn’t any path for anyone to report anyone before so this is better than nothing.

Hmm

Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias alongside AARP Illinois

Guess the old regulations might have been eating into profits

Still out of 55,000 administered tests only 97 failed. Imho they should keep the restriction because it did remove 97 unsafe drivers.

However, This also creates a path for immediate family members to report unsafe elderly family members. There was no way to report anyone before this was created.

So is it midlyinfurating? I suppose in that it may allow unsafe drivers to stay on the roads but with immediate family reporting it could also be a wash. I very much doubt these changes will pull more unsafe drivers than the regulations from before since family members will probably be hesitant to report elderly family members

Did anyone else notice that you couldn’t use this on an Android device because it it may put the people who use it at risk?

For shame Android

Developer may not actually understand how phones work
