TFS says the vape would use Bluetooth to connect with the phone/app. The vape won't work w/o the app, so they'd build any extra functionality into the app, like ads, tracking and geo-fencing. See my other post Why stop there?

If the vape is going to be app-locked, then the app can be (a) tracked and (b) geo-fenced. Establishments/locations can post if they allow vaping and the (nanny) app can track where you are and disable the vape if it's prohibited. Marketing bonus: The app will probably be running a lot, so the data it could collect could be HUGE. /s

Once precedent is set, it will be open season to sue for damages unless they can show changes. Now, changes could end up just a disclaimer every time you log in, but "do nothing" is not an option.

If there's one thing this Administration really doesn't like, it's public scrutiny - any scrutiny really. /cynical

Exactly. There is zero chance this verification will not end up routinely abused by reeedit mods.

There is absolutely nobody that should trust reeeedit with their identity data, because they already sold all user posts to train LLMs. They will do exactly the same with your bio/identity data.

I saw two robots. :-)

Two words: Robot packages. :-)

(Not package robots, which Amazon already has.)

I don't mind an optional fob to open the door, though I rarely use mine. I don't like it being required (no door key) and I don't like keyless ignition.
