The Tron-inspired Cybertruck failed in a catastrophic accident because apparently the super powered x-treem window wipers were turbo maxed to the power of RAD.

I'm all for privacy, but I'm not all for using the comment section to talk about abortion rights. Sure there is some overlap, but the comment section here seems to show the ease of which the human psyche can get distracted, these tangential bickerings are the reason big data is so effortlessly steam rolling us.

I also read that they only have 138 million in cash to cover the 175 mil bond, even despite being outside of the jurisdiction of NY.

I'm sure there's no problem here for the company.

Step one: Overinflate the assets of the bail bond company.

Step two: Claim the assets of the company and get loans based on those inflated values.

Step three: If found to be fraudulent in said valuation, take it to court.

Step four: Go back to step one.

"it’s not known whether the leak came from within the company or one of its vendors."

Isn't it time that big tech companies and their sale of private data get regulated? I see a giant class-action lawsuit in the making here.

Unfucking believable, also the grift continues "Avast has been acquired by Gen Digital, a firm that contains Norton, Avast, LifeLock, Avira, AVG, CCLeaner, and ReputationDefender, among other security businesses."

The Mozilla Foundation found that in late 2023, 92 percent of the automakers reviewed provided drivers with little to no control over their personal data. Additionally, 84 percent shared user data with third parties.

Why isn't there more consumer outrage over this? And why haven't lawmakers addressed this on a national level, given the potential dangers posed by this data collection?

Not really a win for the casual web user - What Google will stop doing is selling web ads targeted to individual users’ browsing habits, and its Chrome browser will no longer allow cookies that collect that data for the means of selling to third party advertisers.

Meanwhile, Google will still track and target users on mobile devices, and it will still target ads to users based on their behavior on its own platforms, which make up the majority of its revenue and won’t be affected by the change.

Ad companies that rely on cookies will simply have to find another way to target users.

Given that Googles estimated annual revenue is between 160 - 180 billion, that 74 million is only 0.04625% (if taken from the lower estimate) I'm sure they would chalk it up to just the price of doing business.

Oh yes the Chinese Communist Party, the cake and eat it too party, where it somehow is able to access global markets and benefit from international trade rules, freely able to meddle in international affairs while embellishing its own interests.

It's mind blowing how the desperation of late stage capitalism allows the CCP to operate within these frameworks.

Is Apple trying to convince me that the Health app, Apple maps or Siri doesn't track me?
