  I’m not happy per se, I’d rather this guy not be interested in stealing people’s personal data for quiet resale to private corporations.

  I’m glad he’s faced consequences, as we all should expect if we do wrong by society.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Big Balls Clapped⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Good on you.

  That said, fuck this guy and I’m glad he got his ass kicked.

  Con artists are also known for seeding bits of truth in with their turgid morass.

  There are parts of your monologue I’d agree with, but I suspect what your ultimate intent is.

  I’m going to keep manufacture local to the west coast, but yeah, price deltas are almost extreme in comparison.

  They’ll just keep turning the screws tighter if you let them.

  Don’t listen to their lies.

  Who would’ve guessed skynet was purposefully created by the wealthy back when T2 came out amongst us general public?

  I was like, “oh that’s so eerie” as a youngster. The truth behind this path has, unfortunately, been both more embarrassing and savage.

  CalyxOS works with most banking apps, and is don’t degoogled.

  Sure, you get that by default. Firewall only steps in for apps you explicitly block. There’s a toggle for if you want apps blocked by default for you to allow, if you chose.

  Point is, it’s a system that just works, stays out of your way and doesn’t phone home to anyone, just as you’d expect.

  Whatever you wind up doing, good luck out there and have fun.

  Perhaps it wasn’t an accident… 😂

  I’d recommend CalyxOS as a replacement os.

  No google code at all to get full functionality of your hardware (excluding Google pay, but graphene doesn’t have that either.)

  Anything you need, e.g. swipe typing or advanced camera features, you can install Google’s versions and block their ability to talk to the internet via the built-in firewall.

  It really seemed like my fellow students lost their interest in math as we went through the grades here in the US.

  I still remember a kid in 2nd grade who learned how Roman numerals worked because they were interesting. By grade 6, actively detested math.

  Curious.

  Thanks dude, well aware they’re looking for an AC signal. The added magnet isn’t going to influence that, is my point.

  Besides limited magnetic permeability of the magnet itself (the thing the loop is looking for), it’s physically not big enough. What you really need is an amplified field distortion, e.g. a field coil which reads the sinusoidal signal being emanated by the sense coil, and loudly plays the inverse back so the sense coil thinks a giant block of steel slid over it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The first driverless semis have started running regular longhaul routes | CNN Business⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No, it won’t. I invite you to get some large magnets and place them directly on the loop cuts in the street.
