  Just don’t use food delivery apps. Get it yourself, or only buy from places that have dedicated delivery jobs.

  Delivery apps cause increased prices for the consumer AND the company selling the food. If the company isn’t prepared for that, then they may take a loss just because you wanted to pay some middleman 20% + a tip to an underpaid “gig worker” without insurance or job security.

  There is a way to do these right. ALL of the major ones do not do it right.

  I imagine there’s a world where parents in certain countries know their family will most likely die. They then send their child to the US to hopefully let them escape that fate.

  That fate being to die by the bombs and munitions made by the very same country you sent the child to.

  That world is our very own.

  Reminds me of a mix between diablo (the old one lol) and vampire slayer. Been playing it since it was only a couple maps and it’s definitely worth it if you like vampire survivor-esqe games.

  Yeah, the “let no one else use it” portion of my comment is what i meant when you say “patent owners are generally more than happy to license their tech”

  I hope ford doesn’t.

  And yes while patents dont grant exclusivity it gives a company the option to try and argue that a competitors version isnt novel enough. In the USA, where ford is from, patent law screwery is abounds if you have enough money. Of which Ford is backed by the US government.

  Im not here to point out whether or not the patent is the issue. The problem is the spying and selling of personal data. If ford proceeds in a way that limits that exposure to the rest of car manufacturers then fantastic, even if its only in a nominal way.

  I do still appreciate your refresher on how patents work though! Hope the rest of your day goes well.

  Honestly good. Let no one else use that technology. Then all i have to do is not buy a ford.

  That said, if you plug your phone into your car, this tech is already in place lol.
