Given that it says the phone was a Google Pixel, I'm guessing it was GrapheneOS and the activist entered their duress PIN before handing over the phone.

And you’ve never hit a cat that was hiding under your car? Are you sure? How can you prove it? Have you gotten out each time you drove away to make sure there wasn’t a cat left behind?
I don't find this convincing. Have you asked the Waymo Taxi the same thing? I can check if I've run over a cat, and I'm naturally Inclined to care. I can't say the same about a robot. Especially one that isn't open source.
If they can avoid animals now (which they can, and do), they can improve that detection and/or logic for cats that have disappeared under the car and not reappeared. That’s not even an assumption, much less a “big” one.
I develop software for a living. It is a big assumption to think that this will be fixed with a software update. I don't know why you act as if it's a sure thing.
I personally don’t like the idea of driverless cars.
And there is your bias.
Yes I am biased against driverless cars. They are a new technology that is being tested without our consent, and they are dependent on corporations rather than humans being held accountable when things go wrong (something that we currently struggle with as a society). The fact that you think I should default to the contrary is strange to me.
No one argues self-driving cars are “needed.” The point is, they are a significant improvement over humans when developed correctly.
I'd rather gravitate towards a driverless society where we invest in public transit and infrastructure rather than further ingraining cars into our society and adopting private companies (who use us as unwitting beta testers) as the solution to our problems.
How are people this fucking stupid? Really? I don’t want you to answer that. I would need some rational and intelligent discussion on the subject.
You need to calm down. Attacking my intelligence isn't helping your argument. I think I'm done engaging with you now.
This, at least, can likely be remedied fleet-wide and permanently with a software fix.
Oh? That seems like a pretty big assumption. Even if the company themselves said that a software update could fix running over a living creature, I would be skeptical.
These people are just looking for an excuse to rail against automation
Excuse or valid criticism from a negatively affected community? I personally don't like the idea of driverless cars. I don't think they are at all necessary to society. I don't see them as inevitable infrastructure or even a good path forward. I don't think my stance is unreasonable.
as if a human driver would have definitely seen the cat.
There are plenty of cats in my neighborhood and I've never hit one. I'd expect an automated vehicle to drive better than a human, not worse.
You talk about people "railing against automation" but is it more productive to make reflexive excuses for its failures? The fact of the matter (IMO) is that we shouldn't be beta test subjects for these companies and this new technology.
Also, keep cats inside.
This I can agree with.
Yeah, it's a 40 series GPU, so pretty new. That's encouraging. Maybe I will try dual booting first.
Do you have an AMD gpu? I'm running Nvidia GPU using windows 11 and I'm hesitant because I've heard people say that Nvidia poses problems.
The sooner you realize that the call is coming from inside the house, the better. We're dealing with a revived KKK and a government that openly supports them. These people are very capable of running their own psyops.
I bought a Flint 2 GL-MT6000 and I've been pretty happy with the choice.
- its currently on sale for $125
- it comes with a custom version of open-wrt, but it can be flashed to a different firmware
- easily purchaseable through their site
- I have not had signal issues in my place, but YMMV
- sustained speeds are at least 500Mb/s
- supports features like VLAN, which is part of why I bought it
Side note: Flint 3 just came out, but I'm not familiar enough with it to recommend.
Did you read the article?
This isn't some random company using azure to host an app. This is Microsoft dedicating a team of engineers to write a custom version of its software to track people on behalf of a genocidal government.
Also, could it be a 'the call is coming from inside the house " situation?
I think this is far more likely than China, North Korea, Iran or Russia having a sudden interest in St Paul Minnesota (a city that most people in the US don't even think about).
Who benefits more from the crippling of city-level liberal governments and stealing their data, Trump or China? If we see ICE conducting surgical raids within St Paul in the coming months, I think we'll have our answer.
Wouldn't some sort of proxy in between the bucket and the client app solve this problem? I feel like you could even set up an endpoint on your backend that manages the upload. In other words, why is it necessary for the client app to connect directly with the bucket?
Maybe I'm not understanding the gist of the problem
