the front power-seat switch could overheat and ignite the seat

Dolly Parton playing Miss Mona in The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas:

You know what burns my ass?

Or you're disagreeing with with any of the candidates who could possibly win. The presidential candidates of both major parties not only approved of a genocide, but both were committed to use our tax dollars to fund and arm it. I couldn't vote for either one.

Worked there for nine years, sometimes with people who had two- or three-digit employee IDs. In all their time at the company it had never sold customer data. YMMV

Ship From Vendor - they'll give the vendor your delivery name and address, kind of necessary
Payment Processing - they'll give the payment processor your name and credit card number, again kind of necessary
Alexa and Ring Emergency Response - They'll give the police your name, address and emergency type, rather necessary as well
Etc.

They don't sell your data. Ever.

The difference here is that Amazon never sells customer data. Ever.

I worked at Amazon for 9 years, and security of customers' data is the top priority. I could literally access Jeff Bezo's personnel file with lower permissions than I could access your purchase history or your Ring or Alexa data. We had to complete a refresher course on data protection every year.

And rely on outdated equipment with unreliable firmware to protect it.

The Democratic "leadership" is fine with it. They can give their corporate and billionaire benefactors everything on their wish list, and if voters complain just say, "We'd love to help you, but those meanies on the other side of the aisle won't let us. Maybe if you send us more money we'll try harder!"

Text of the Executive Order starts:
"Only the terrorists would vote for anyone but the greatest president ever! All real 'Mericans would vote for me, so what's the point of elections anyway? Do you want the terrorists to win?"

You don't live in a country that has been under continual full bore economic, propaganda and terrorist attack by the biggest economy and most expensive military/intel organizations on the planet for half a century. Like Cuba, the fact that the country is still intact, unified, and free is a huge testament to its people and its government. You may not like their culture or their government, but it works for them and we have no right to force anything different on them.

Does slashdot want to make millions on selling its data by any chance? And let me just say I'd love to get at least 0.01% off the deal for the idea.

I used to get classified emails from Fatherland Security for a while, after I had worked at the Coast Guard base upgrading their security system. That was my introduction to what a joke that entire department of the government was, their "alerts" are pure fiction written by someone who has a lot of imagination but no knowledge of infrastructure.

You must have lawyers in your family.

That's not good. We regularly get collection notices for someone who not only doesn't live at our address but has NEVER lived at this address.
