And then again, often people put new stereos in cars...aftermarket, etc.

Not so much, no. Modern cars have single infotainment systems that include the air conditioning, navigation, etc, all tied into one unit. An aftermarket system isn't going to be able to interface with the climate control system on different makes/models. My car is a 2004 -- over 20 years old -- and even though the stereo and the climate controls are technically separate components, they are together in the same (proprietary) section of the dash (no DIN or Double-DIN slot). Replacing the stereo means getting third-party controls for the A/C. The alternative is removing a lower storage pocket to add a installation bracket for the new stereo and having a "dead" (non-functional) factory stereo remain above.

Reddit is free to run their business as they choose. They lose ad revenue from people using clients that don't display ads, so they charge those people for the API access to use those clients instead of the official Reddit mobile client. There have been some recent reports of them blocking mobile browser access to the website as well, to push more people onto the mobile app, likely for the same reason. Don't want people using an ad-blocking or privacy-enhancing browser on their site.

They didn't remove third-party clients. You just don't get a free lunch anymore. I use Relay. It's a monthly subscription (as low as $1/mo) to pay for the API calls to interact with the site. But for that I don't get any ads and from my understanding a better interface.

If it's spinning at that rate couldn't you have the camera synchronized to the spins so it's capturing a frame when it's turned to the same position? Kinda like the mechanism that allowed fighter planes to have machine guns mounted in front of the pilot and shooting between the propeller blades. Motion picture cameras are 24 fps.

The issue isn't awareness, it is how to process such massive amounts of data. This is more than the average security/IT team can possibly process in a timely manner.

Sounds like they need to increase their staffing then. I wonder if there are any IT people looking for jobs right now...
