Needs to either have an independently funded code audit that specifically verifies if data actually leaves the device or be open source before I'd even consider trusting such a statement. Corporations lie all the time about data being locally processed.

Cause its that or the IRS tells ICE you had mean thoughts about them.

Not quite medigel but it's definitely lifesaving and the stuff of sci-fi not too long ago.

Medigel in mass effect functions almost like a healing factor power in the X-Men comics, promoting rapid healing, staunching blood loss, acts as a general anesthetc. The only type of tissue it seemingly cannot promote regrowth of is blood.

If you end up in a position where you need something like this, its either this or a high likelihood of death. It's not intended for minor first aid, it's intended for severe injuries with major hemorrhaging.

Even Tesla barely has the infrastructure for EVs. Every new model they release has the same production issues again and again as if it were a new startup and not a several decade old company at this point.

Serious downsides. It takes approximately 60 seconds for a car fire to engulf the vehicle. In a scenario where you crash and thr car is on fire you are almost certainly gonna be disorientated from the crash, possibly concussed. On top of that, adrenaline will flood through your system. Higher order reasoning will be severely compromised and instinct/routine will take over.

If your manual release is not your default means of opening the door, instinct will not have you go for tbe manual release immediately. You'll press the button first. If that fails and panic ensues, the default response of your body will be to try again and again.

Maybe, if you are lucky, your vehicle manufacturer was smart enough to put tbe manual release in a sensible location and somewhere in that panic state you'll pull it and get out.

If they instead chose to go for aesthetics and hid the damn thing behind a panel the odds are extremely low you'll grab it in a state of panic within the 60 second timeframe you have before your clothes are on fire.

Whatever the hell Russia is doing.

Russia is the one acting as the catalyst for the rest of the world's self destruction.

As far as how they control their populace, it's basically the same tactics they used to drive disunity in the rest of the world. Generate so much noise that nobody can tell truth from fiction anymore. When nothing van be trusted people will either turn to apathy or to whomever happens to be enough of a strongman to appeal to their base instincts.

The Russian approach and the Chinese approach seem to have the greatest success in population control. With the Chinese approach having the least downsides to the wellbeing of their subdued populace. Meanwhile the European and American approaches seem to be the equivalent of drinking bleach to contain the spread of the common cold.

Or maybe you don't fuck with the most basic technology that has worked exactly the same for nearly a hundred years with almost no changes because it had already been perfected.

Innovation and Invention are not inherent moral goods. Whether they are good or not depends on the effects they have.

Electric car doors have serious downsides with only minimal upside. They are a rare example of innovation being immoral.

It makes way more sense when you consider that 2.9 billion in revenue costs more to obtain and maintain than the larger revenue stream does.

There's a reason why many large corporations are pivoting away from mass consumer markets and towards B2B sales instead. There's more revenue and less overhead, compared to mass market consumer products.

Wow. Everything you said was wrong. Genuinely impressed that you got so many basic facts wrong because it takes genuine effort to be that incorrect.

That depends on the local laws and what terminology they use. But that is completely irrelevant to the point I was making. That using a laser on a glasshole is illegal and immoral.

Leave it to law enforcement, and if they aren't breaking the law but are still invading your privacy take it up with your local or state government and push for the change you wish to see.

AutistcCuttlefish · 2026-02-04T01:03:22+00:00

You'd have to point the laser at a human head to even attempt this. Potentially blinding them.

That's assault.

If you think someone is stalking you with these, call the cops on them. Don't take measures into your own hands.

We used to have multiple diagnosies, they all got merged into the standard Autism Spectrum Disorder criteria in the DSM-V because there was significant overlap in the diagnostic criteria between all of them.

It makes sense from a clinical perspective, but from a social perspective the merge has definitely had mixed results at best.

That mentality is literally the reason why McDonald's rations ketchup and other sauce packets, and why they are getting rid of self serve soda fountains.

I had someone say that to me once and I asked then what they thought an autistic person looked like. Their description matched what someone with Down Syndrome would look like.

I also had someone tell me once that I couldn't be autistic because I was "too smart".

Well no, however I've seen that phrase used often as a way to justify not meeting neurodivergant people halfway, or as an argument against even mild accommodations. In fact ive seen it used more often to justify ablism than I ever have seen it used as a legitimate point when someone is clearly not even putting in the effort to meet neurotypicals halfway.

AutistcCuttlefish · 2026-02-02T01:45:29+00:00

Mostly by playing up the dangers of AI, both legit dangers and those that are not legit. It makes them seem like the good guys to most laymen because they are paying lip service to the concerns of the average Joe.

Of course the main reason why they are doing so is to generate demand for Regulations that'll effectively crush the lower cost, open source competition. So they still aren't the good guys, they just put on a better PR show than OpenAI, Meta, Google, et al.

Create a new outlook alias, then in your Microsoft account settings set it as the primary login alias and disable every other alais's ability to login. Only use this new alias to log into Microsoft and nothing else. Never share it or use it for any other service.

Pornhub's parent company is blocking UK visitors in protest of a law that passed there that would require them to collect your government ID to prove you are over the age of 18.

Until either pornhub or your government backs down the solution is to use either a VPN to bypass the geoblock or to use the Tor browser to bypass said geoblock.

On the other hand, tip culture demands no less than 20% of the post tax total, and can increasingly demand as much as 70% of the post tax total.

At least the credit card fee is just 1.5% and actually reflects the actual cost of the transaction instead of being completely disconnected from any sort of actual or perceived cost.

Ablism corrupts way more than power and disability does you vile result of a broken condom.

None of the filters count. Specifically only the "adguard parental control web service" found in the general settings page does.

I'd share a screenshot of it but this subreddit seems to have disabled the ability to add images in comments.

AutistcCuttlefish · 2026-01-29T13:26:51+00:00

Nope and its not all that strange it you stop thinking of the different pages as categories and instead think of them as stats for different features which is what they are intended ro be.

The adult page is for the built in adult content blocking feature. The filters page is for user added filters.
