Devil's Advocate: Why would you use TWO different companies? That's just asking for BOTH companies to "spy" on you.

All I'm reading is that the car dealerships didn't sell them a battery warmer or you just buy a couple cheap space heaters for your garage. Or just leave the vehicle's heater on (slows charge, but hey it's plugged in now). Trucks and other larger vehicles also have a cold engine problem to the point where it won't start at all.

You think you're avoiding google? That's cute. 2 billion into being a search engine default? Ya no, there's 100% some backroom dealings. The service formerly known as i Ads which still exist, just doesn't have a public facing name? Even if you believe the 2b is JUST for the default search engine, what's the difference? Apple's still selling your info through their own ad service (unless you're fulling admitting that they're abusing their power because nobody in their right mind would use more expensive ads that target even less). So now you're just paying a premium on their ecosystem and getting your privacy invaded.

In the case of AI, many of them are using user queries to transform and bolster their AI's training. They're arguably storing the content, even if it's not in it's original form.

If they accidentally forget to put a tower in, they're gimping themselves -- not to mention some companies do cross-sharing agreements which would need to sync. Most people won't be affected by Stingray like devices or fake towers. I bet even after this, most people won't even notice a difference.

It's only on there because of people like you (who don't think of existing tech), and companies like Apple. Tor has existed since 2002, and on Android since 2018. All free of charge, and isn't restricted to a small pool of IP addresses. Surprise! The truly privacy enabling browser ... it's not allowed on i devices!

The Towle test prongs: "The character must generally have physical as well as conceptual qualities. The character must be sufficiently delineated to be recognizable as the same character whenever it appears. It must display consistent, identifiable character traits and attributes, although the character need not have a consistent appearance. The character must be especially distinctive and contain some unique elements of expression. It cannot be a stock character like a magician in standard magician garb." Herbie might fail the 2nd and 3rd. He looks like a standard racecar at the time.Cars/Lightning McQueen might get away with it since they added eyes

Is that before or after all the security issues ( https://cyberpress.org/massive... ), the useless blue checkmark (no longer validated, it's just a money thing now)?

Lmfao, you think the government over-regulated companies abusing the shit out of customers by outright lying in advertising? Have you ever had food advertised by a restaurant look like what you actually get -- and remember, this is AFTER a bit of regulation. At least with these laws on the books, there's a chance of the average person having a chance at winning their case or realizing that the claim is a borderline scam even with "fine-print"ism. "You could win $1,000,000...", oh wait, there was a precondition that you had to be able to fly by flapping your arms?

It kinda expires though. Once the PS3 dies, you won't be able to play it anymore. It's getting hard to get original official non-legally gray area players.

If there was a security gap, then the servers would be compromised easily. that said, any security gap could be mitigated by requiring a local connection / . Zero issues still. Next issue?

I mean, his username seems to indicate he's a support of a particular political person... and we all know how those people are like... ;)

If someone's charging $1000/month and they're only paying you $1/month for doing the bulk of the work, wouldn't you ask for more before packing up and leaving?

Why would there be a RTO command when they were never sent home? (That said, tech's getting there that one might be able to do things remotely =P)

OP clearly mentioned bonuses available for performance targets. So it's both with clearly outlined and public information, but you chose to cherry-pick one line. Have you already made up your mind, and are seeking to validate your own opinion while ignoring clearly mentioned solutions to problems? Or did you simply miss that point?
