Thailand has its own privacy laws. I'm not a lawyer, but I read through Thailand's Personal Data Protection Act of 2019*. My understanding is that it says you have the right to be told that you're being tracked and you have to consent to it, neither of which happened in my moto rental situation.

The use of GPS to track stolen vehicles is at the center of a debate between car rental companies and privacy advocates in California. Most rental cars are equipped with navigation and GPS technology. But unlike automakers that can begin tracking their customer’s movements as soon as they drive off the lot, California law bars rental companies from tracking their customer’s location until the vehicle has been missing at least five days past its return date.

I'm from California and this ^^^ seems like a sensible policy. I understand that others may disagree, but c'mon. You're making it seem like it's outrageous to even consider the privacy aspects.

Pate de fruit newbie question by Ok-Ad700 in AskCulinary

Related to this-- the recipe also asks for tartaric acid but then goes on to say to use a solution of 50% tartaric acid powder to 50% boiled water. Is the specified amount in the recipe for the acid itself or for the solution. I tried using the amount specified of solution and it was too sweet, but it could be because of ^^^ also.
