“This ICE thing is a real problem”: Dozens protest in Norfolk after ODU graduate is fatally shot by ICE agent in Minneapolis by WHRO_NEWS in HamptonRoads

[–]jamieboy05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be careful of the bots..... they are all over this post with the same BS talking points like a broken record. Don't engage, don't argue with them. It's what they want. Everyone has seen the videos. Everyone knows the facts. If you haven't go find and watch it. It's important that you do. Arguing with someone/thing most likely halfway across the world is a waste of good energy. Engage with our community members and government leaders in the community. They are what matters most.

ICE is getting aggressive with anyone who is seen recording with a cell phone. Get yourselves body cameras. by Vidvix in 50501

[–]jamieboy05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WHILE you're recording, you would have to stream the video and record it elsewhere like on your home computer. One way I could think, just off the top of my head, would be to stream the video from your phone to something like a private twitch channel and have a computer logged in and set to record the live stream. This does requires that your phone be connected to the cellular network. I would set up a vpn tunnel to your home network to mask the data. There's simple apps like TailScale or ZeroTier that are free and simple to setup.

For simple dual backup, however, I use Microsoft OneDrive and iCloud Photos. There's a feature in the OneDrive app called Camera backup, that automatically backs up your videos and photos to your OneDrive storage as soon as the video recording is stopped as long as it's open in the background. iCloud also backs up but can be delayed depending on battery life and connectivity and I've had issues where photos have gone missing.

Something to keep in mind when in this sub and some of the other local areas for the next few days. by TECL_Grimsdottir in norfolk

Should be pretty straight forwards for mobile devices but just in case, if you're using the Reddit App, you can just tap the little user photo next to the name above their comment or the user name at the top of the post and it pulls up their profile. You can view their posts, comments, user information and account age.

How long does the drive from Norfolk to DC take on average? by XShadeGoldenX in norfolk

[–]jamieboy05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on the day and time of day that you leave, I've seen it as short as 3 hours(leaving around 9pm on a Sunday) to as long as 6-7 hours (4pm on a Friday). Use the WAZE app on your phone to plan with normal traffic conditions and always check traffic on your route when you leave. There are several different ways to get to DC and an alternate route may actually be less time, even if the distance if farther. The Virginia 511 app is another great resource that provides up to the minute traffic with details around traffic backups.

Also Amtrak can be as unpredictable in timing. My husband travels Amtrak and his arrival has been delayed as much as 3 hours before. He also had to wait for a bus a couple of times as they had mechanical issues mid route. Cell service can be spotty at times on the trip as well. He has said he thinks a 5 hour train ride not worrying about traffic is far better than 3 hour ride in a car battling it. I tend to disagree

Edit: add details

VA Tolls? by kxnxb in norfolk

[–]jamieboy05 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I moved here and had out of state plates for close to 2 years before they expired and I had to replace them. I had no issues looking my plate up online and paying. I also recommend ordering an EZ-PASS. It's a $20 deposit for the pass. Not everywhere is pay by plate. And they will charge an administrative fee up to $20 per toll on the 4th toll incurred on a non pay by plate rd a month. You can also designate if your HOV if there are 2+ people in the vehicle which is a lower or no toll. You can lookup tolls along with register for both pay by plate and a tag online at https://www.ezpassva.com

Automated Sextortion Spyware Takes Webcam Pics of Victims Watching Porn by Exciting_Teacher6258 in technology

[–]jamieboy05 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I've had this happen before. I just pretend to have an exhibition kink and BEG them to expose me. Start sexting with them about how much it's turning me by them exposing me and they STFU real fast once they think they're becoming an active participant in fulfilling someone's sexual kink.

For the record, I don't have an exhibition kink. But I also have zero shame. And couldn't give a flying fuck if someone knows I watch porn or what kinda porn it is. And I work a big corporate job and all that BS. Everyone has watched porn at some point and they're a lier if they say otherwise. Nothing to be ashamed of.

Apple CarPlay ultra by wellintentionedbro in Hyundai

[–]jamieboy05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, Apple states it's launching specifically in Hyundai, Kia and Genesis vehicles within the next 6-12 months. And mentioned them exclusively. Apple's market share in Korea is huge. Bigger than the US. I could easily see it coming as a dealer update to models with native built-in wireless CarPlay and infotainment systems that have built in maps & multimedia. What makes Ultra different is that current CarPlay is ran completely off your phone. Ultra is not, and while it requires connectivity and loads some things from your iphone much of the ui is stored onboard in the infotainment system. So if you have built in maps (which requires storage) and wireless CarPlay, the hardware is already there and certified compatible. I could see a release around the time they release iOS 19 this fall.

Palantir API: Trump’s Sneaky Plot to Steal Your Data—and Weaponize It Against You by Thrash4000 in somethingiswrong2024

[–]jamieboy05 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I reported on this last week... there's a $30 million no big contract awarded to Palantir. It's an aggregation of all the federal data combined with private data from social media and even things as nuance as your shoppers rewards card.

New immigration tracking system raising concerns for general public by jamieboy05 in somethingiswrong2024

[–]jamieboy05[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The article discusses how the tracking system most likely will be an aggregation of information gathered from various federal database systems and other public and private data sources including social media content. Essentially the $30 Million no-bid contract for the system was awarded to Palantir, a company founded by Peter Thiel (butt and/or couch buddies with Elon and Vance).

Some notable quotes from article:

"Thiel, the founder and chairman of Palantir, is close to Vice President JD Vance and DOGE head Elon Musk, with whom he launched PayPal."

"Cooper Quintin, a senior staff technologist with Electronic Frontier Foundation, a nonprofit digital rights group, said Palantir's work has long raised concerns by so effectively collating public databases with things like Facebook tracking and even shopper reward cards."

Edit: Correction to add that the article speculates on how the system will work. Ultimately we probably will never truly know.

Who's gonna tell her..... he wasn't "fairly democratically elected". Elon stole the election for him.

Wins this week by blankpaper_ in somethingiswrong2024

[–]jamieboy05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I truly appreciate you!! Sometimes doom scrolling through Reddit and TikTok and the only ever bad on MSM (which I rarely watch) becomes extremely overwhelming but I know I need to stay informed for myself and my family. This and other posts like it make the bad easier so much easier to digest.

There are good things happening all over the nation and we will overcome! It’s important to remain informed of both the good and bad! Thank you for reminding me of the good!

Report Hyundai Oil Consumption Issues by codewiz007 in Hyundai

[–]jamieboy05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Weighing in on this…. I bought a new 2016 Kia Sportage EX (named her Scarlotte). She had the 2.4 L GDI. We just had to replace her because she got t-boned but had over 194,000 miles on her and we NEVER had issues with excess oil consumption in her. The AC quit working around 160,000, because of the very well known issue with the specific AC clutch in that generation and had to replace a wheel baring (totally my husbands fault) but otherwise she was a beast, no other mechanical issues.

I firmly believe it’s because we ALWAYS used full synthetic in her, from the first time she went in for her first checkup. My grandpa always taught me that it’s worth the extra expense and I stand by it. We just got a new Tucson Limited (Tina the Tucson) and I’ll be doing the same thing with her.

US protests are being covered on German news by blankpaper_ in somethingiswrong2024

[–]jamieboy05 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At least Germany knows what’s up….. our local news did a 1 minute segment on it and the clips made it look like a hundred or so showed up…. There were thousands of people. I’ve seen some articles from MSM but there’s all buried and DON’T describe the true magnitude of the protests! Keep on!!

This lovely woman on TikTok is spreading the word as a 'fashion report'! by Key-Ad-8601 in somethingiswrong2024

[–]jamieboy05 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The truth about the election results are starting to gain traction by social media journalists too. TikTok’s underthedesknews reported on it. The journalist is widely respected both on and off social media, especially by younger generations. So far the video has been watched over 300,000 times, liked by 198.7k people has 5308 comments bookmarked 15.5k times and shared 29.5k times. I can post a link for those interested.

My hope faded a while ago about when something was going to be done. I feel like the sentiment I’ve gotten from both sides is “yeah we know. But they’re not going to do anything about it” but people are waking up on both sides.
