Personally I don’t care which state actor it is, I don’t want any of them to have easy access to my data.
If they want it, they should work for it.

All your data from this device being stored on servers in China that are accessible to the Chinese government isn’t a relevant concern?

It’s not cloud free and requires online activation with the Tuya app. (I assume based on other Tuya WiFi devices)

Yup, it’s a rebranded Tuya device.

It’s a rebranded Tuya device, which can actually be used in a local only mode.
I wouldn’t trust connecting it to the Tuya online services though that is for certain.

It’s a rebranded Tuya device, and they don’t sell your data to any law enforcement or insurance.
They do however comply with Chinese laws and all your data is readily available for the Chinese government.

It’s a rebranded Tuya doorbell. So there aren’t any subscriptions, though you will be giving them all your data.

In my defence I was drunk.

The mod adds well, extreme violence. It lets sims murder other sims in various ways (also adds non-deadly violence)
You can make it so only specific sims you’ve enabled it for can do it, and you can make said sims do the violence out of free will.
The clown was probably placed in the neighbourhood in its own house, set to high free will, and high violence. Then the player went and played with their own family of sims.
Then if the clown ever came to visit (other sims in the neighbourhood will sometimes just show up to visit you) it’d start murdering. Events like a wedding usually invites everyone in the neighbourhood, so the clown showed up and started doing violence.

They do though, 4chan complies with US laws and regulations. They regularly hand over logs to various US agencies.

Oh yeah, I didn’t think about commercial vehicles like pickups and vans.
The hilux definitely has a proper hand brake, and their vans do too.

None of the newer Toyotas except the 86 that I’ve been have had a proper mechanical handbrake sadly :(
- Comment on Jeep pushed software update that bricked all 2024 Wrangler 4xe models 3 weeks ago:
I just want a mechanical safety backup for the brakes, even non-EV new cars don’t have that :(

I live in the arctic, we had 3 weeks over 30c this summer.
The first two weeks of September were all over 20c. Normal high for these two weeks is 8.8c.
Snow would usually sit around until late April/ early May. The last 4-5 years it’s been gone early April at the latest.

Cloudflare announced their paid AI scraping service at the same time as they blocked AI scrapers.
Though at least they revenue share with content owners… Assuming said content owners are in paid cloudflare plans, abs opt-in.

I does! It also reduced heavy metal levels.
Thankfully the bad type that shouldn’t be your blood, and not the cool type that should be playing on your speakers.

- Comment on Mastercard release a statement about game stores, payment processors and adult content 3 months ago:
From what I understand it wasn’t actually mastercard and visa?
Itch statements made it very clear the issue was PayPal and Stripe.
Steam even disabled PayPal payments for a while, a couple days before the purge. While direct card payments with Visa/Mastercard still worked fine.

I assume this was the same incorrectly reported news as elsewhere in Europe.
An big batch of these were missing an EU-compliant warning about the level of spicyness, and was recalled to have a sticker put on to rectify this.
This was then ofc reported as “noodles too spicy for sale” because that gets more clicks.

With how terrible people are with instantly assuming everything is AI, I don’t think it would work that well sadly.
