I always recommend to my consulting clients to use a VPN for everything, one with a proven “no log” policy. I use one myself for everything.

That’s technically true, but almost universally companies have not agreed to turn over that information without a court order, and sometimes fight those. Apple and Amazon or two good examples of that. If companies start freely turning over private customer information, they know how quickly they will lose business. 

In all honesty, I don’t see that being an issue. Police will still have to get a warrant for that information, just as they have to get warrants for camera footage, Alexa conversations, phone records, etc.

We are going to have less privacy with more “smart” devices and vehicles, but existing privacy laws still apply.…

The Supreme Court ruling has nothing to do with this situation. I have a reasonable expectation of privacy in that the police can’t search my car without probable cause or my private conversations with my wife can’t be recorded. However, I have zero expectation of privacy on a public road with regard to still or video…

Thankfully I’m an adult with a new M340i. I once drove my mother’s Journey because she was complaining how hard it is for her to drive at night. I think the 10 candle power headlights have a lot to do with that. I thought I was going to kill us both.

My mother has one she loves and my father has a Caliber. I’m living in parent car Hell.

“Erect” and “Toledo” are two words that somehow don’t belong in the same sentence. 

And people wonder why no one likes dealerships and wants to be able to buy directly from the manufacturer. I’m a capitalist, but I still hate these idiots. 

Trans people are not immune to being fired for protesting against the company that employs them. The fact that they were trans has exactly zero to do with this. I assure you that had straight white males tried to organize and then protested against the company, they’d happily fire them too. 

I really like the updated interior. I just hope the sea of piano black can be swapped out for something a little less fingerprinty. 

Nor is there any commentary about what the game is doing, no link to the consequences of fossil fuel use, no insight into the realities of what’s a very expensive, dangerous and politically important business.

The Suzuki Go Anywhere Baby Room.

That certainly sounds exciting. The concept of carry a torch around to check for leaks is interesting. Thanks for the education. 

Not really much different, no. However, I don’t get a chance to post Hindenburg pictures very often :)

Would that include a puncture that exposed it to the atmosphere? I know these are double hulled and such, butI’d hate to see some jackass Somali pirate park an RPG round into the side of one and have it vaporize the crew.

What could go wrong?

I just looked at the GIF and thought “Wow, a speed bump did that!?”

I specifically exempted any VW plaid seats in a subsequent comment :)

I totally agree. I was thinking the same thing when I wrote it, so I added “ugly” to differentiate it from the awesome VW plaids.

They just need to sell Ford loot boxes. For $100 a pop you can open one and hope that it has an option you want for your vehicle. It will mostly be terrible paint colors and ugly plaid patterns for your seats, but you can always hope.
