I'm curious about Toyota as well. They are regarded as one of, if not the most, reliable car manufacturers.

They can't because when they fail the public and then congress wants to cut their budget. NASA can no longer innovate and maintain funding.

I hate that I have to put this qualifier but this is NOT an endorsement of musk.

I guarantee that they still keep everyone's watch history whether they consent or not. Facebook has been building shadow profiles on people for years. It's reasonable to surmise that all major tech companies do the same. They simply removed the usefulness for the user but they still keep and profit from it for themselves.

Anecdotally, before they removed recommendations for not having a watch history I would still need to create new accounts on occasion due to being locked into the same recommendations based on my watch history. Even though I opted out of watch history from the time of account creation.

I see this "drives engagement" claim all the time and at first glance it makes sense. But why would they do things like remove recommendations completely for users without watch history turned on? That is the exact opposite of driving engagement.

Sadly incidents like these are becoming way too common. I'm confident that people were shot today by police under the same premise. We just don't hear about every story. The reason this story gained so much traction is because of the person being pregnant. Otherwise most would have never known it happened.

It's all because they're not accountable for their actions. That needs to change one way or another.

I have a cousin who is a cop. He has been a cop for 5 years. He has shot the driver of the car in the exact same way on two separate occasions. One lived and charges were dropped, the other died. There are news stories about the incidents online but I won't share them because it would dox me. He never faced any consequences, not even time off while investigations took place. That's not the only people he has shot while wearing a badge. These are just the relevant incidents. He is still a cop.

I think that Blackberry's had the best physical keyboard of any phone past or present.

Yes, but usually not so far that the metal is showing. I learned from this video years ago. Having done tire changes with and without the luxury of a burnout. It is noticeably easier after the burnout.

Nah. People should stop making careers out of tracking and selling peoples information.
