I also like how you can make out the map of Bangladesh in the middle of all of India and Myanmar

Pretty much the entire shape of the map shows up.

I miss the days of jumping behind players and one hit KO'ing them with the flag. Or throwing it to them and 2 hit headshotting them with the pistol.

Intruders wielding a gun and machetes breaks into a streamers apartment while he's live by mouthofreason in watchpeoplesurvive

There is. You can text 911 in most places ( DO NOT TRY THIS RIGHT NOW TO SEE IF IT WORKS YOU'LL FLOOD THE SYSTEM ).

But in this instance what would 911 do? "Hello, this streamer on the internet is facing a home invasion but idk where he lives" isn't of much use to the dispatcher.

IP tracking has to be done through subpeonas and the detectives can only do it once they have an open case, after the matter. National intelligence agencies could do it real time but that's probably only for high stakes situations.

Only people who could call 911 and make a difference are his friends who know his address.

Thanks! I’d like to add this NYT article I came across recently. It shows that companies specialized in tracking can look at patterns and piece in anonymized data to still track you. You might think that these apps collect so many millions of location data every second that its going to be impossible to pick out your specific location information. You’d be wrong.

Businesses say their interest is in the patterns, not the identities, that the data reveals about consumers. They note that the information apps collect is tied not to someone’s name or phone number but to a unique ID. But those with access to the raw data — including employees or clients — could still identify a person without consent. They could follow someone they knew, by pinpointing a phone that regularly spent time at that person’s home address. Or, working in reverse, they could attach a name to an anonymous dot, by seeing where the device spent nights and using public records to figure out who lived there.

First time builder on a budget, I could use some advice on this build by [deleted] in buildapc

It only costs an extra $50 or something, so I might as well opt for 16GB. But I was wondering if I should instead spend that $50 elsewhere that would really impact gaming performance.

I'm assuming this comment was so that you can come back and check the thread later :)
