The Supreme Court ruled nearly 40 years ago that you have no expectation of privacy with regard to trash that is placed in a publicly accessible location, like at the curb in front of your house or the dumpster at your apartment building. No warrant required. They do need a warrant to search your trash if it's not in a publicly accessible location. Your sewer lines are not publicly accessible, so you can calm down about that one for now.

No search warrant is needed by the police to search through trash cans at the curb, regardless of whose property it might be. There's no expectation of privacy.

According to TFA, they're just examining what gets put in the recycle bin, looking for stuff that shouldn't be there: Centerville is testing a new program where recycling trucks use artificial intelligence to spot and report items that do not belong in the bin. As each cart is emptied, the AI scans its contents and flags materials that do not meet local recycling guidelines.

If you just throw everything into the garbage bin, you shouldn't get any postcards.

You equate Netflix subscribers to the entire planet, and I'm pedantic, check. Tell us, what data do you base your conclusion of "bullshit" upon? Surely you can cite a statistical survey of some kind, as you certainly wouldn't just be blowing smoke.

50% of global Netflix users != half the planet. Unless I missed where the entire planet became Netflix users, that is.

Interesting. Where do they tow them to, and what happens after they get there?

I use an M3 Macbook Pro at work. At home I have an Ubuntu desktop machine and a Lenovo Win11 laptop. I use the Windows machine once a year, to run Turbo Tax, though I boot it up occasionally to keep it updated.

A drone capable of carrying either of those payloads for 200 miles and returning to base would be at least as large as a small general aviation aircraft. Then there's the fact that an being able to change out an oil pump would be completely impossible for probably over 90% of the population. Better just to call for a tow truck and settle down to wait for half the day.

Anyone know how Walmart gets around the FAA requirement for visual line of sight operation for drone flights?

The stated range for drone delivery is "up to six miles from the store". So this isn't happening in the middle of nowhere.

Anything that reminds me of Vista is pretty much the opposite of delightful. Offensive and repulsive would be more apt.

If you like that, you'll love this.

you appear to be "just saying" that you believe the OP was referring to an actual, electrified edible fruit. You're welcome to your opinion, but I'm not buying it.

Already done, years ago:

No, you don't understand. Karoline Leavitt announced in a press conference that the errors in the report were caused by "formatting errors". That will undoubtedly sound reasonably to the people who routinely swallow the crap she's always spewing.
