  • Iran begins laying mines in Strait of Hormuz, sources say

    Jump

  • I feel like if the whitehouse knew, they would stop it if they actually cared to. If they aren't stopping it, they want the mines there for political purposes or I wouldn't put it past this administration to put the mines themselves and blame Iran.

  • X and TikTok algorithms favour the far right at the expense of moderate parties

    Jump

  • And any resistance to those policies is met with more rage from the right, its a self propelling cycle.

  • Valve Sued By The Performing Rights Society Over Music Rights in Games Valve Doesn’t Make or Own

    Jump

  • Theres also the factor of suing steam is like getting to sue all the ofenders at once without actually putting in the work to sue each individual studio that used the music.

  • Queens Boulevard, New York City. It’s insane that we allow car dealerships to take over as much land as they want to store cars

    Jump

  • To be fair, thats more a bylaw officer problem than a cop problem, at least thats how it would work in my area.

  • Canadians have gone from global rail leaders to primitive laggards. They are spending all their money on car infrastructure while their rail system decays

    Jump

  • Our regional rail is pretty shit conpared to nearly every other developed country. The last time we were a global leader in rail is when we completed the trans canada railway which built the country we know today.

  • Trump says there will be no deal with Iran except 'unconditional surrender'

    Jump

  • Trump Israel says there will be no deal with Iran except 'unconditional surrender'

  • Donald Trump insists there are no wind farms in China. Here are 20 of them – in pictures

    Jump

  • He also insists China will take hockey away from Canadians if Canada trades with China, so I would disregard anything trump says about China.

  • Iranian warship hit by US torpedo did not carry ammunition, say Indian sources

    Jump

  • Whos to say they didn't pack some munitions with them anyway? Without another nation checking the ship you just have to take their word for it.

  • Iranian warship hit by US torpedo did not carry ammunition, say Indian sources

    Jump

  • If they had no intelligence of the ammunition situation (doubt) it could be risky to try to board a warship. Not that it justifies anything, just aside from piracy boarding enemy warships isn't really a thing anymore as far as I'm aware.

  • Most "shower thoughts" here are just thinly-veiled rants

    Jump

  • Do you not rant in the shower?

  • TIL that the worst driver in New York City likes to drive around in Brooklyn. He received 259 speeding tickets and paid over $60,000 in fines.

    Jump

  • Its about $230 per ticket. If they get them from cameras and don't fight them the city probably comes out on top. If it's cops pulling them over and they fight in court the profits evaporate pretty quick.

  • NYC Mayor Mamdani proposes $25 million to build a network of 500 bike lockers

    Jump

  • Paying 4 city workers to watch the 1 guy qualified to put the concrete anchors in. The other 4 are the driver, navigator, pylon guy, and hinge greaser.

  • UK: Drone targeting Cyprus base didn't come from Iran

    Jump

  • Possible false flag attack to persuade Europe to support more war against Iran.

  • Thousands of Kurdish fighters launch ground offensive into Iran against regime, official says

    Jump

  • Didn't the CIA recently arm them?

  • U.S. Troops Were Told Iran War Is for “Armageddon,” Return of Jesus

    Jump

  • You'll have to get past their robot protectors to even get close to the bunker. They could even drone strike the bunker if you get too close.

  • Good lord

    Jump

  • Plus a wired game pad, secondary gaming specific keyboard, a phone charger, a wireless phone charger, a thumb drive, a gaming specific mouse, a racing rig, and a little usb fan.

  • Your car’s tire sensors could be used to track you

    Jump

  • I think part of why the cameras don't have such scrutiny is the city often has signs stating they use the cameras and will list their locations. This gives a somewhat implied consent from the driver, idk if it holds up in court but its similar to a sign at a store saying you're on CCTV. The sign doesn't say the CCTV could be used to track and monitor you but its implied.

  • Your car’s tire sensors could be used to track you

    Jump

  • The system required to make them hard wired would be immensely over complicated to allow the wheels to still turn. Where ever the wire exits would also have been additional point for leaks to occur.

  • Your car’s tire sensors could be used to track you

    Jump

  • However, the researchers found that these tire sensors also send a unique ID number in clear, unencrypted wireless signals, meaning that anyone nearby with a simple radio receiver can capture the signal, and recognize the same car again later

    Its not quite the same ball game. Sure its not great that the government can track easily with ALPRs, but this type of tracking is available to nearly anyone and could be used for significant crimes like stalking or human trafficking. It can also be done without a sightline of the car, unlike a camera system.
