Honestly, any secure messaging app would suffice! Maybe minus Signal since that needs a phone number currently.

I use an XMPP server to do messaging for my kid without a “real phone”.

Honestly, with lineage it’d be pretty locked down as they couldn’t do Google play apps for major social media, but I guess it depends on how old and knowledgeable they’d be about loading micro G for that stuff.

Also, iirc, you can use an MDM with Lineage OS bc it’s still Android at its core, which could run Android enterprise, and Manage Engine does full MDM for free under 25 licenses/devices. Might be worth a test to deploy apps that way. I’ve done that for regular Android devices when my oldest wanted more freedom without me having to utilize Google all the time.

Did anyone make an instance called starfleet?.. Since, you know… It’s federated?

“DOES NOT COMPUTE!”

-Zuck probably

They’re under 24/7 watch by that Indian company I thought, for “ai training”.

Love the Mr Robot reference (hopefully).

It’s no different than you subsidizing the costs through the carrier, the only difference is Apple will likely earn interest whereas carriers do this at basically 0%. Or Apple is going for vendor lock in. Right now you can “switch phone companies” and they advertise paying off balances up to a certain amount to entice the switch. Apple may not allow that.

So does Copilot and Microsoft Copilot 365. I enforce GPOs to ban/remove them, and every couple Windows updates, it reinstalls, and each next day I see my alerts pop up they’re back.

We’re catering too much to the auto industry at this point, it’s a stranglehold on the market. Instead of holding these massive companies accountable (coughkiahyundaicough) with theft issues and lacking security systems, now just install kill stitches on everything, and have additional ways to monitor citizens since it’ll be always connected smh.

Oh no… Is it? I figure they’re some small start up from Indiana so hopefully might be more trustworthy. The base model doesn’t even have a modem!

Edit: FUCK ME you’re right. Bezos funded them so he could compete against Tesla. Jfc. I’m not buying one, ever then.

The same with those Fire TVs auto updating without a network connection, I’m assuming it’s using some sort of LoRa radio technology so they’re able to still transmit data whether you like it or not! I noticed it on our conference room TV, not hooked up internet at all, but I noticed the fire TV ads were updating. I blocked it on our network via mac address just in case, but I read up on it, and they use a “proprietary technology” so the TV’s can still update.

LoRa or WiFi HaLow is my guess since you don’t mess a license like HAM, it’s low power, inexpensive, etc. Would not be surprised one bit if Amazon is secretly listening without public knowledge. (Maybe too tinfoil hat ish)

Edit 2: what’s worse, Slate swapped in a former Amazon exec to be the new CEO. Fucking doing sorry already before even releasing 1 vehicle. They’re NOT trustworthy IMO. Maybe they won’t have a modem in the base model, but they’re probably counting on people opting for technology, and they’ll still likely get financial data through the sales process that Bezos and Amazon can capitalize on. There will definitely be some sort of data brokering involved!

I wish I had the money to start an open source auto company. Like slate, but with more options.

Illinois just banned phones in school. Idk if that’s leave in lockers or out of class.

We call those tornado sirens now. Wonder if ours function that way 🤔😅

Tim Cook will say anything to try and get ahead. First Apple’s talking about how good their AI is/will be, but now fears of over-hyped AI spending and data center issues, etc, now he’s claims oh and it’ll all run locally. Apples typical “we’re not the bad guys”

While local LLMs are getting better, I still feel like overall, this will tank battery life, and through several million devices charging, will still use a lot of extra power overall. Plus, a lot of the data center issues falls to training and ingesting information, so, Apple let’s the other guys do the heavy lifting for them to seem less evil? Wasn’t Apple initially involved with OpenAI when they were a nonprofit and cofunded business? Idk, I still say Apple isn’t trustworthy.

Dude stop I just finished dinner 🤢

Probably under the assumption the data was deleted. But yeah, the fact a typo was missed by all is rough

Time to sue Wisconsin police dept for fucking that one up!! The Canadians did their job based on false information!

Yeah, only all this only came to light within the last year or so, so I’m sure they got their money from you already. You have a right to dislike the company and one of the founding members, yes. He did terrible things. But dude, your comment seems overfilled with hate. It’s gonna be ok!

Lmao not defending gates, but he’s been minimally involved in MS since I think ~2003 when Ballmer took over.

I use a jmp.chat # w Snikket server on Cheogram. Calls handling through native dialer. Works pretty well minus kicking off group chats with mixed users.
