The government is doing everything about this. It's literally being done entirely by the government.
If you want the government to be doing the opposite thing about this, the time for action was during the past few elections, before the fascists got control over all three branches. Best the dems can do now is try to lock things up as best they can. Maybe by shutting down the government or something idk.
And OData!
No OS protects you from this. If you are carrying a device that communicates with cell towers, your location is being triangulated and logged. I'm not sure about the daily location signals they're referring to, but cell tower triangulation has been a thing for a long while.
Only way to avoid it would be to only carry devices that cannot transmit data. Internetingly enough, pagers fit the bill as receive-only devices. Messages are broadcast on the entire network instead of routed to a single device.
Using 7 chars to represent 8. Now that's efficiency!
Do you, though? Pi starts 3.141592, but 7/22 starts 3.142857, already wrong by the 4th digit.
About time!
Only if you make less than $500k per year
Best I can do is raise prices
That's pretty common. You garnish their salary, sell off assets, and recover what you can.
The families that sued him and settled for $7.5M were from the community. Did they enable him? What about the children that attend the same school and will now have less funding for their education? Did they enable him? Do they deserve to partake in the punishment?
Make the people that did the offense pay for it.
Some coach diddles kids and the families and kids have to pay for it through insane tax hikes and less school funding? In what world does that make sense?
They already put the coach in prison for 15 years and probation for 25 years after that. Why punish the local community too? Yes, the families should be made whole, but not at the expense of objectively innocent tax payers and schoolchildren.
How do nornal people survive? I have the answers!
Power bank stopped charging? Throw it out and buy a newer better one for $15.
Face seal aging? Buy a new one for $25.
Garage door opener not pairing to your fob? Play around with it a little and if that doesn't work, contact support and make it their problem.
I'd argue it's faster, cheaper, and easier to solve all of those issues the "normie" way. Maybe with the exception of the garage door. The equipment to do this costs, in some cases, a lot of money and even enthusiasts are unlikely to have the spare parts necessary to do a lot of this stuff just laying around.
Like, in the battery example, the author replaces the actual battery part and just keeps the shell. It's really not that different from just buying a new one if you're replacing basically the only part of the gadget. And how many people have a working (I'm guessing) 10k mAh battery just lying around that isn't already in a powerbank?
Tinkering and fixing stuff like this is a really great hobby. It's fun, you get to learn new things, play with cool tools, and be less wasteful. However, let's not pretend like it's necessary for survival or even the optimal way to handle most situations.
