Regulation is not coming to save you. Governments love that corporations spy on you. Because then they can get the data without a warrant. It’s the backdoor to the Fourth Amendment.

For the first 5 years of his new contract, Juan Soto is making $60,000,000/year. If he plays 150 games/year and bats 4 times/game -> $100,000 per at bat. Feels like a jump-the-shark moment. #baseball #mets #yankees #soto

I cannot believe I risked my personal safety repeatedly for a country on the verge of voting itself into fascism. I don't regret my service - I just can't believe this is where we are. Legit speechless.

Of the 50 states in the US, 7 will determine who gets elected President. Everyone knows them as the "battleground" states. Previously, they were "swing" states. The name change says something about the US. If only George Carlin were here to explain it.

Like so many other companies, Synology wants to spy on their NAS customers to improve the user experience. Note that "No thanks" does not get a blue button.

With all due respect to Steven Wright ... I lost my #Apple #AirTag The Find My app points to the corner of a square closet with many jackets, sweaters and pants. Lots of pockets to search. And all the clothing bunched together muffles most of the sound. Ugh.
