Pretty amazing they’re framing it as an “accusation,” when there’s access logs obtained via FOIA request that prove beyond a reasonable doubt that they were spying on children.
I hate to say it, but Jewish organizations get threats all the time. Just yesterday I was at a temple that removed its "reserved for Rabbi" parking space, because he had been threatened and didn't want to make identification easier.
An explanation rather than an excuse. But it's not entirely surprising that they would sign up for a service that might help them catch offenders.
You can just say Israel. Unless you're trying to imply all Jewish people. You do not have to be Jewish to be a citizen of Israel - there are even Muslim citizens.
It's pretty clear that he says Jews and means Jews. Including me.
I don't approve of the current government of Israel, and the many Israelis who support it. But that does not change the fact that the target on my back predates 1948 and has nothing to do with anything going on today.
That and paying to offload legal liability to a vendor.
Lots of great, free, widely adopted open source technology solutions aren't adopted by public sector because their legal staff won't accept the liability of not having a paid contract that makes guarantees. Great use of tax dollars.
Ah, they’re all one package of functionality: Enrich broadcast TV control and schedule functionality through maintenance of third-party integrations, such as set top boxes or cover art. Because Sony isn’t the authoritative source for an icon for Burn Unit or Hospital Grace or whatever (I made those up, hopefully they’re not real!). Certainly every single integration costs time and/or money. (IF you could charge money for a service, would you give it for free to Sony?)
I wonder if they’re predicting a collapse in data harvesting revenue, or just found that inflation-adjusted wage decreases have shrunk the top end out of their TV market and so they’re cutting corners.
No. You get prompted something like “Application wants access to your Documents folder” and “Application wants access to your Downloads folder” on first attempt of each folder.
Not always though. Adobe’s apps seem to be able to do whatever fuck they want whenever they want. I want so badly to stop them from creating a bunch of bullshit files in my Documents folder but there simply is no way to do it.
As an aside, what new cars don’t include location tracking?
My experience is they all have satellite connections and require some level of telemetry. My car throws a persistent check engine light and error message on the radio if you disconnect the telematics control unit.
I don't have this info unfortunately. I can say from personal experience that you can remove tracking from the 24 and older Subaru BRZ for about $50 usd, or less if you make your own passive adapter. I can also say the 24 and older low trim brz does NOT have tracking installed from the factory. From my research before buying the brz, many if not all Subarus of this era use the same hardware. There's an older version of this hardware as well that can also be deleted (and should be deleted because it's an older cellular tech that is no longer active and leads to battery drain while the car is unused).
The only problem my car has now is an occasional failure of Android Auto with a time sync error. There's an ota update for the head unit available that may or may not be related. I don't plan to install it. I only put 1000 miles on the car before removing the cellular connection so they could log the engine break in period as being done correctly for warranty purposes, so I'm not sure if it was an existing issue or related to removing cellular.
Afaik, having built in gps is not an issue since it's a receiver and doesn't transmit. The tracking issue is because of cellular.
I would check if the low trims exclude telematics before buying a car. If so, you can probably remove it from the higher trims but do your research.
