HIPAA data is protected…until it isn’t. Laws change. Especially when companies are salavating to access health data.
- Comment on RFK Jr. Wants Every American to Be Sporting a Wearable Within Four Years 16 hours ago:
Follow the money. Nominee for surgeon general has a stake in wearable tech.
Just like when those scatter machines were forced on the TSA, it’s because the person in charge had a stake in the company making them.
My company gave these things away to each employee for some ‘fitness challenge’ between departments…I never even opened the package. My group was mad at me for not helping win the free lunch or whatever it was … Until I made them read the privacy policy. Many stopped wearing them immediately

When the engine is off?
Of course, how to tell this with an electric car?
- Comment on Google’s Advanced Protection Arrives on Android: Should You Use It? 1 week ago:
Most features here let Google scan and evaluate what you do on the web, messages, and apps.
They say it helps security, but of course it assures those features are on letting them suck in more data about the person.
A company like Google doesn’t do something out of the kindness of their hearts, they do it for profit
- Comment on Salt Lake City, plans to implement AI-assisted 911 call triaging to handle ~30% of about 450K non-emergency calls per year 1 week ago:
So if you are in trouble or held against your will and you say you’ll order pizza but sneK a call to 911 for help instead and pretend to order and give your address for delivery hoping an operator catches on… Doubt the AI will catch on.

Ok…so there are rules that God must obey…so he’s not all powerful, otherwise he would just change the rules
- Comment on That's a good question 2 weeks ago:
If God is all powerful then why not just absolve us from the sin?
If this sacrifice was required, then he is not all powerful or he is into torture pron.
- Comment on That's a good question 2 weeks ago:
If God is all powerful, couldn’t he just do that without all the bloody, painful, torture part???
That’s what I wondered about.
- Comment on The IRS Tax Filing Software TurboTax Is Trying to Kill Just Got Open Sourced 3 weeks ago:
The code to generate the forms should be simple enough… But the amounts, the deductions, the laws, the rules…etc, these all need to be checked by an accountant or lawyer… It might be a good method to double check a return, but if the return isn’t guaranteed to be correct by the IRS or an accountant is checking details…I would be worried
- Comment on Might be a bit of a tangent: use SIP at home via internet 3 weeks ago:
It does. Or can just send the recorded message to your email as a .wav attachment.

It’s an amazing solution… Keeps reminding us how desperate and manic organizations are to collect data

- Comment on Might be a bit of a tangent: use SIP at home via internet 3 weeks ago:
I use this.
I have Ms VoIP as my provider. $1 month per line and 1 cent per min.
I have a grand stream sip adapter… Configured with my providers info and my creds. Phone can plug into it. Works just fine. Plus you can use any sip client to connect to the same line from mobile or PC.
Also, my old house had pots lines in every room. I took my grand stream and wired it into the house, not a phone. So I can plug regular phones into any of the original outlets and it works as it directly connected to the grand stream. I have 4 regular phones all running over original wires into the grandstream using sip

- Comment on Self-hosting is having a moment. Ethan Sholly knows why. 5 weeks ago:
It’s all about privacy.
I am amazed at services offered that run rampant in the home.
My ISP offers fiber. But only if you also sign up for managed wifi where they manage your internal net…no way
I got a quote for solar power…but they must use a 3rd party cloud to manage your power and it uses eth over electrical … If you use eth over electrical already, then it does whatever it wants in your home network …no way.
Cell phones? They all go into a guest wifi…not on my home network.
- Comment on Is Pop_OS! kind of bad? 5 weeks ago:
I’ve used pop is for years now. No major complaints.

Take the lesson. While learning, stay off of hills and any upward incline until you got a feel from taking the car from full stop to going in 1at gear.
While learning you will stall the car… Don’t let it bother you.
The trickiest part is learning how to ease the clutch while applying gas to go from full stop to motion forward.
Remember neutral when coming to a stop.
Manuals are great, it’s built in theft protection from like 95 % of people

- Comment on Netflix will show generative AI ads midway through streams in 2026 1 month ago:
Except I didn’t pay a monthly fee for over the air TV. The Jeffersons didn’t cost 4.99 a month
- Comment on Netflix will show generative AI ads midway through streams in 2026 1 month ago:
Speaking of Hulu, does anyone know a way to get Hulu working on OSMC or other media player. Netflix works via API and keys… I can’t get other streamers on there correctly which pisses me off to to end.
- Comment on What's the point in getting married? 1 month ago:
Legal items aside. My wife has my back and I have hers. Having a partner in life you can trust with yours is a special thing.
It doesn’t have to even be man and woman. I know a group of older men who have a group dynamic where they are all basically each other’s partners…not sexually, just supportive.

- Comment on Millennials are watching monthly student loan payments skyrocket from $500 to $5000 under Trump: This will ‘crash the economy’ 3 months ago:
Crashing the stock market may be the plan here. Follow me on this …
Crashing the market and removing 20 to 30 percent of value.
Then at the low point invest heavily into the DOW.
Now support the market and get it back to previous levels.
Fucking rich fucks just made 30% in 1 to 2 years on that investment.
