Well, the court does. This is coming from Carr, who’s been trying to make headlines for his gubernatorial run.

In Georgia, where this is happening, they also consider not having a phone to be probable cause for arrest.

That wouldn’t show in the task manager as telemetry.

Constant surveillance will do that. Legit “telemetry” wouldn’t be using that much processing power.

I’m thinking Recall is just Microsoft trying to cut costs on their servers processing all the surveillance, and force users to pay the costs of all the extra electricity and equipment needed.

You think the Dems won’t help them do it? The Democrats are already backing tariffs and import bans on Chinese cars and solar panels. And I haven’t seen Dems calling out the bans on lab grown meats.

They will engage in the same protectionism, because they’re paid off by the same donors.

Oh yeah, I forgot the Democrats also helped ban cancer vaccines and diabetes cures from Cuba and China. Wake the fuck up.

And the Spotify ceo just stepped down so he could focus on weapons systems for Israel. The people running all of our media services are Nazis.

Do you have another system you can use? Maybe with a video card on it that can help with pre-transcoding files?

This is what I ended up doing on mine. Was a big hit to my electric bill to pre-transcode the entire library (only for files that needed it), but now everything serves up in a flash. And the script runs as a nightly cron to catch any new stuff.

If you have to, maybe just dedicate the system you have here to transcode certain problematic content. Other than finding another download in a different format, I’m not sure there’s anything else you can practically do.

What is being advertised?

It’s not markets that make a country capitalist. It’s the concentration of the wealth from those markets. And China has been jailing/executing their billionaires.

How do you figure? In what way does this imply concentration of wealth?

I swear some of y’all think simply selling something is capitalist. Astounding how successful they’ve been at producing undereducated people in the west.

‘The only thing we can do is take a passive stance, and do nothing!’

Defeatist bullshit. There’s plenty we can do. Like demand laws restricting smart devices and enforcing security.

Quit being such a weak person.

Agreed. They’re not even good products without the spying. Bad on top of bad.

We tried to tell y’all that the RICO prosecution attempt against Cop City protestors was a test and attempt at setting precedent.

TikTok has been faithfully pushing US propaganda for years. Mintpress News put out an article on it. Control of the US servers was handed over to Oracle, who let the State Dept have full control of what to censor.

Given how many times Samsung’s been caught spying on customer mics, and throwing ads into everything with an internet connection, I don’t understand why anyone is still putting wifi credentials into a Samsung device.

They’re competing to be the lead idiot.

It’s definitely Reddit attempting more censorship and manipulation of the front page, but I’m still happy the powermods are being fucked.

The social media companies have been burying Gaza news for years now, with both parties in full participation. Who the fuck said there’s been no moderation?

If it were reality, you’d have some recent data. Might as well make projections on computer power use by starting with the ENIAC, and then you can claim computers are consuming more than our current energy output.

LoL. Guess I can just get rid of phone’s processor then, huh?

And again, you link an image from an outdated study. Because the new data shows the use declining, so it wouldn’t help your fear mongering.

As usual, Politico’s whitewashing the significant Democrat contributions to the tech censorship regime. This isn’t something you can fix with party politics.
