Ford Patents In-Car System That Eavesdrops So It Can Play You Ads
  • I bet people will find a solution that's very simple, like snipping the GPS/cellular antenna. I think that could work to bypass it because what if your driving in a area with no reception? I highly doubt they will turn off your car because of were your driving.

  • Do stores use bank account info to analyze shopping patterns?
  • Yes, a good bit of stores do. I pay in cash generally, and I don't tie my email to my bank account. The nice thing with paying cash is you have a better idea of how much money your spending too.

    But as some other users mentioned, some stores have these camera's in the parking lot that track your license plate. Generally park in a way that it cant see it when you enter or leave.

  • Unable to flash usb to balena etcher

    Hello all, I'm trying to flash linux mint to a old thinkpad I'm refurbishing. However, when I go to flash the ISO to the USB, balena etcher throws the following error's

    [23381:0729/101159.717484:ERROR:gl_surface_presentation_helper.cc(260)] GetVSyncParametersIfAvailable() failed for 1 times! [23340:0729/101202.577845:ERROR:browser_main_loop.cc(280)] GLib-GObject: invalid cast from 'GtkFileChooserNative' to 'GtkWidget' [23340:0729/101205.337371:ERROR:browser_main_loop.cc(280)] GLib-GObject: ../gobject/gsignal.c:2777: instance '0x37b801188b20' has no handler with id '5761' [23381:0729/101205.693383:ERROR:gl_surface_presentation_helper.cc(260)] GetVSyncParametersIfAvailable() failed for 2 times!

    I would like to note I'm flashing this ISO from my main computer running fedora, and I installed balena etcher from an RPM, (Already tried the app image, but it seems that FUSE is acting up).

    Thank you in advance!

    Unable to transmit VHF (144.390) on uv-5r.

    Hello y'all, I recently got a cheap uv-5r off of Amazon so I could use APRS in a off the grid location, however I'm encountering a large set of problems with the radio.

    First off all, I already tried the 3 finger unlock, doesn't work. Second off, I can program channels into it with chirp, but the radio will only beep if you press ptt. Only channels 1-30 will transmit, however if you change any of it in chirp it seems to revert back to gmrs.

    Thanks for any help in advance.

    What is your favorite song?

    I'll start off, my favorite song is all along the watch tower by Jimi Hendrix. That guitar at the start just sounds so beautiful.

    what are your recommendations for a good privacy friendly sms app?

    Hello, currently I use qksms but its very problematic and lacks basic fetures. One of those issues being you cant send videos, and sending and recieving media is pixalated or blurry because of a commpresion issue. I've already tried adjusting the compresion options in settings to find out it doesn't work.

    What messangers do you guys/gals recommend?
