"Data center satellites will not be happening, same as Mars colonies."

You're too late, one is in orbit and I'm making an even bigger one right now.

Go figure, someone with heavy thermal regulation experience in semiconductor technology is what's needed to properly cool high-tech in space and make what everyone says is impossible into reality.

And I do it with only a GED.

Sit down.

nope. I can record in my own home, my friends home, a strangers home. There is no barrier as long as I consent to my own recording. This has helped many domestic abuse cases, kidnappings, SA, murders be solved in single-party states.

I was referring to two party states, however even in one party states there are limits to your right to record, for example you may have to be a party to the conversation and not just eavesdropping or in a place with a reasonable expectations of privacy. One party consent doesn't protect someone from other laws regarding recording.

That would be a temporary solution, but competitors of Flock are already using fingerprints from your car based on Bluetooth from infotainment, built-in modem for updates and telematics, and even your TPMS sensors which broadcast unique IDs. In addition to that the fingerprints can contain info from your phone (Wifi, Bluetooth, RFID, cellular modem) and other wireless devices such as headphones and AirTags. Apparently this is already available in a product known as Leonardo. Looks like it's time to build a Faraday Cage around my vehicle.

Sounds like th epublic needs an OSS version of Leonardo to even th eplaying field and track police and elected officials...

Only illegal outside of single-party consent states.

Even in two party or all party consent states the laws generally only apply if there is an expectation of privacy, and thus usually not in public spaces.; as always the laws are more complex than"require two party consent to record..." That doesn't make it any less creepy to walk around recording people.

"The Trump administration's Department of Energy wants to create 'campuses' in several states to store waste,"

Given the high standards this administration sets for contractors, I'm sure there's no reason to ask more questions.

Yea, those tears in the casks are due to vandalism and Democrats and of course, Joe Biden ...

Exactly. For example, spreadsheets were often used day to day but the accountants kept the actual books as books and had the final word. That changed over time, only after spreadsheets proved out (and got the bugs out).

Also, humans stayed in the loop. Sure there were occasional funnies like a medical database claiming a few male patients had a history of pregnancy, but humans were in the loop and cited those as obvious errors. There were still backup paper records to fall back on.
