  • US justice department joins lawsuit to block California’s new electoral map

    Jump

  • That means they'll sue Texas too, right?

  • Google finally released the source code of Android 16 QPR1!

    Jump

  • Well, yes, but that is not exclusive to Pixels, and in fact, most phones (other than the latest iPhones) are more vulnerable. Pixels, especially the latest devices, have the best hardware security features of any Android phone (unfortunately). You're focused on Pixel, but that's only because of the recent leaks which specifically focused on Pixel because of their breaching difficulty. Here's the full matrix from last year (which hasn't leaked as recently):

    https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/14344-cellebrite-premium-july-2024-documentation

    GrapheneOS, even now, is not vulnerable for several reasons, most of which tie into the hardware features of the Pixel. There's a reason Graphene only works on Pixel.

    All I'm saying is that it's entirely misleading to imply that only Pixels are vulnerable. This is not the case, even for iPhones.

    I'm also not sure why you seem to be trying to say I disagree on the fact that Google is happy to leave vulnerabilities wide open, when that is exactly what I said in my original comment. Their new release schedule allows them to leave these vulnerabilities open for an even longer time, making Cellebrite's job easier.

  • The law enforcement angle is exactly the point, yep.

  • Meta is killing off the external Facebook Like button

    Jump

  • They should also kill off Facebook.

  • Supreme Court declines to revisit landmark same-sex marriage precedent

    Jump

  • Yeah, absolutely.

  • Supreme Court declines to revisit landmark same-sex marriage precedent

    Jump

  • It probably will require her to pay up regarding attorney fees too right? I guess I'm not sure how it works in this case.

  • Supreme Court rejects long-shot effort to overturn same-sex marriage ruling

    Jump

  • I'm glad I won't ever have to hear about her ever again.

  • You Need To Quit Weed.

    Jump

  • I think it attributes a lot of things like being depressed from poverty and the state of the world to weed. It's no surprise that depressed individuals use substances to cope, and it's also strange that they seem to avoid that. I think not putting smoke into your lungs is healthiest of course, but I think they're making the wrong correlation here.

  • Just added my local Home Depot's Flock cameras to OSM

    Jump

  • I mean, that's true, yes. The ones on roads (which also exist in my area) are far worse. However, it's still a huge invasion of privacy that most people have no idea about. Plus, there may not be alternative home improvement stores in certain areas. Lowe's and Home Depot are the only home improvement stores in my area, and both of those disgusting corps have million dollar contracts with Flock. They're literally at every location from what I can tell on DeFlock.

    ALPRs, especially Flock, are designed for police. They only exist so police can avoid getting warrants to know where you've been.

  • Just added my local Home Depot's Flock cameras to OSM

    Jump

  • In this specific case, the only people I could contact are Home Depot corporate, and they signed a huge contract ($$$) with Flock. It's something I've thought about though. I really wish Lowe's and Home Depot weren't the only home improvement stores in town, as they both have Flock.

  • Just added my local Home Depot's Flock cameras to OSM

    Jump

  • Since someone asked in a cross post, DeFlock has an image-based guide on how to identify common ALPRs: https://deflock.me/identify

    If you're like me (and your area has a lot of them like mine does), once you notice one, you'll start seeing them everywhere.

  • Just added my local Home Depot's Flock cameras to OSM

    Jump

  • Deflock has a great picture-based guide here: https://deflock.me/identify

    In the dark, the ALPRs made by flock have a green flow to them. Even in the daylight, though, they are relatively easy to spot once you see one. They're usually at each entrance of a storefront or on the sides of roads, and typically have their own solar panel.

    Once you notice one, you'll start noticing them everywhere, at least that's how it worked for me in my area.

  • People in some states get SNAP food aid while others still wait for their November benefits

    Jump

  • I notice that it's mostly blue leaning states rushing to help people not starve. I guess it's not a surprise, but people in red states are going to be affected by the lack of SNAP the most. I doubt it'll make them stop voting against their own interests, of course.

  • What are some common things people buy that you would never buy?

    Jump

  • Agreed on all points, but especially #1. Fuck Nestle. Every time I buy a new product at the grocery store, I check to make sure they're not made by Nestle or a subsidiarity of Nestle.

  • 5 "AI"-developed malware families analyzed by Google fail to work and are easily detected

    Jump

  • Surely the failure to work only applies to malicious programs and not vibecoded slop, right?

  • Qantas releases images of ultra long range Airbus that will fly non-stop from Sydney to London and New York

    Jump

  • Cool, but I can't imagine a 22 hour flight.

  • Removed

    Killing SNAP benefits now is demanding a Blue Congress next election.

    Jump

  • If the house flips, though, then the Epstein investigation along with other things can proceed, and the House can block bills before they go to the senate or president. So while it won't fix anything outright, it can stop more damage.

  • Scientists Growing Colour Without Chemicals

    Jump

  • Everyone who eats and drinks chemicals will eventually die!

  • Flock haters cross political divides to remove error-prone cameras

    Jump

  • You should always leave your phone at home for that kind of thing. The same goes for protests.
