I wish.

My father currently works in IT and has “smart” everything (except locks, thankfully)

He has multiple Alexa thingies (used to be Google homes), Internet thermostat, smart light switches, smart cameras/doorbells, smart plugs

Idk why he does. The only thing that really provide any value are the light switches and plugs (scheduled lighting) and maybe the doorbell thingies

I think that’s just a cinder block or whatever they’re called (the gray bricks with 3 holes in them)

If I had to guess, it’s probably Samsung’s edge panel thingy

Ah yes, they’re going to collect all those 0’s /s

No, they’re going to collect a “this person used the chatbot sidebar” if that person has telemetry enabled. That’s it.

If something changes or comes to light, then I’ll be worried, but this just seems like normal technical data they use to know what to prioritize.

Idk if you meant “cracked me up”, but I have got to start saying “cranked me up”

Here I made this for you

Yeah, it’s pretty difficult. Think of assembly as just one step above writing 1’s and 0’s, and you’re probably around how difficult it can be

For anyone wondering “where do they get their money?”

It’s from businesses who buy their SDK. They (allegedly) don’t sell any of your data

Magic Earth is free for all our end-users but we also have a paid Magic Earth SDK for business partners. For instance Selectric.de (a supplier for navigation solutions for ambulances and fire trucks), Smarter AI (developing ADAS systems) or Absolute Cycling (using the platform on bicycles). For more info on the SDK, you can check magiclane.com.

Bottom of their faq

I haven’t been able to test it out yet, but it seems pretty decent

True. It’s been a while, heh.

Honestly, that’s only because the Bible says it’s a thing that should be done (apparently)

You have to keep pointing out the bad shit he does, or some people are gonna forget

Huh, I wonder if sheep used to grow less sool and humans just bred them for a lot of wool. Time to go research!

Edit: that is exactly what happened. Wild sheep do not grow a lot of wool.

Look under “Principal Software Development Engineer.” It says “2017-present”

I think Google Pay used to have something similar, until Google axed the whole thing in favor of Google Wallet

This is a non-story btw Some random person jumped the gun over a Craigslist ad paying someone to advertise their brand at the rally. If you’re gonna criticize Trump and show how pathetic he is, at the very least don’t make stuff up

If Android: Aliucord -based on the Kotlin (old) version Bunny/Pyoncord - The current best (and afaik only maintained) fork of Vendetta. Based on the new versions of discord

If iOS: Enmity - I know nothing about this

Also for your consideration: this list of client mods

I think you’re reaching there a bit, because no one said anything about forced veganism. You can eat meat and be against the horrors of (the vast majority of) the meat industry.

I’m not op, so I’m just guessing here

I think they meant a sort of “at the first sign of pushback, the companies will ditch LGBT people. Don’t mistake their gay logos as actually support”
