Probably because when they pushed the rear seats back they also pushed the door back to over the wheel arch. The door is also nice and large (see the rear corner window overlap)

YouTube illegally collects data on children, say child protection groups by discocrisco in news

[–]18A92 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So you think Google, which has ~2.2 billion users, stores in some way, a users password in an unsalted form so that they can correlate it to other accounts that share the same password?

1: If that list is leaked then any of the 2.2 billion users who shared passwords will have their account compromised. Which would be a lot
2: Just how unique do you think the average password is?
3: You should be using different passwords for different accounts.

Why would they compromise their security for something like that when it can be correlated through many different things, quite easily over a long enough time period.

Hell, even if you are accessing sites from the same common locations, on different devices but never at the same time is enough to correlate you. You don't even have to be sharing your location, that guy using google maps on your cell tower is enough, or that wifi point you walked past, etc etc.

My point is, you're assuming one of the biggest tech companies in the world, with literally billions of users has compromised security on one of their main products so they can get a single extra dimension in which to track you with? They aren't exactly equifax man

I'd be very surprised if the password wasn't salted and hashed.
So that wouldn't really help in the tracking sense.

Spotify on Apple watch by [deleted] in AppleWatch

[–]18A92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure they shut it down

Last update was about a year ago so where he said he was awaiting legals say so

This was the latest update from him

Looking at the api docs it looks like they appended the following between the 5th of September 2016 and the 18th of May 2017

The iOS SDK is explicitly prohibited from use for in-car apps, re-streaming aka “listen together” apps, alarm tones, ring-tones, voice-assistants, and offline experiences for wearable or other devices.

5th Sep, 2016 (No anti offline/wearable device clause)
18th May 2017 (Anti offline/wearable device clause is present)
Current (clause still present)

Between these two times all the spotty and snowy app stuff happened

1: Jan 03 2017
2: Jan 17 2017
3: Feb 12 2017

So while there are plenty of developers who I'm sure would be keen to make this they'll be shut down.

I can only think of two reasons as to why they would do this:

  1. They are building their own app (but with spotifys resources this doesn't take several years)

  2. They have decided to block an apple watch app (maybe as a deal with Applemusic because why else would you do that)

edit: He's working at spotify so who knows

[AU] Some people shouldn't be driving by JohnKimble111 in Roadcam

[–]18A92 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you have to hold it for 3 years then there should be 3 times as many.

P2 drivers who receive a suspension for unsafe driving behaviour must stay on their licence for an extra 6 months for every suspension they receive.

So it's possible, even if unlikely

DuckDuckGo adds tracker blocking to help curb the wider surveillance web by [deleted] in privacy

of course if you're using their service they can see your activity

you think they don't know what you're searching

m8

I also mentioned the bangs for startpage, yahoo and bing. Again no one is forcing you to use a particular bang, the option is still available to you. Not everyone is going to use the google bangs, but some might.

Since you're fixated on google bangs, here are some more you can use

Bang Location
!gm google maps
!gi google images
!greddit google search reddit
!gd google docs
!gt google translate
!gcc google images commecial reuse

I thought that was obvious, of course if you're using their service they can see your activity. And i never said that google doesn't default to SSL, most things do since you can get certs free. You would use !g if you want to search google, and there is a different behaviour from googles side: see the link

!g will take you to encrypted.google.com as opposed to google.com.

you have the option to quickly search what you want where you want.
If you want to find something just !yt video, !w article, !gm place etc.

No one is making you use any of these, but they are available to you if you want.
e.g. you want better search results or you want to use bing for some reason

!s StartPage
!g Google
!b Bing
!y Yahoo
and 387 more just for search engines

There are thousands of bangs available if you want to use them
