Waymo “presumably” paying for what they destroy isn’t the same as saying yes, they will 100%. Its pure speculation.

And its not a goalpost move, driving puts you and everyone else at risk humans have been tested and insured to drive. This thing is like in BETA version.

Difference is a driver can be held accountable.

The same people that experimented on him psychologically in college are the same people who prop up Palantir.

Not saying I agree with what he did or what you said, but facts are facts.

He was part of some of the same experiments that were a part of MKULTRA.

Probably use some AI bullshit to scan what you’re watching/doing on it and block the sites that way.

I bet UK will. Soon.

Of course you can, but none of them will ever be in a position of power and the only two parties you can vote for both support shit like this, as you said.

I’d assume they’d give companies an exemption if they made private VPN use illegal. Doesn’t China do something similar to this?

Yes but they’ve done this before in countries like US. They went after the T Shirt producers printing the DeCSS on them and recently the whole tornado cash fiasco where they tried to make smart contracts illegal (although this was overturned).

Granted though I think DeCSS contained proprietary code so its a little different but unfortunately I view most governmental control and censorship to be braindead but I still fear they will do it.

They would have exemptions for corporate VPNs and encryption and for members of parliament and all that of course, but I could absolutely see them trying to fuck us all sooner rather than later.

I hope I’m just paranoid.

But if it were illegal as soon as you connected to one single blacklisted IP you’d be fucked, right?

Can your ISP not tell you’re using a VPN?

Would it not be easy for them to block access to VPNs if they outlaw them?

What do you do then?

I guess a better way to phrase the question is if they are outlawed how can I use one without my ISP knowing.

If your ISP can tell you’re using a VPN then yes, making them illegal would prevent me from using them right?

I use GNOME on my distros so it’s pretty handy for operating the system with just a keyboard.

Have you tried the above yet? Try it.

And if that doesn’t work contact their customer service and say you don’t have the option to use another device and you need to set up SMS verification or you’re going to have to consider another card. I bet it will work.

Puts on red!

I do SMS however before I had this phone I had a regular stock android phone with the Capital One app on it and I wonder if yours isn’t working maybe you can use the app on a stock android and set up SMS verification on that, then switch to the other non stock androids phone and I bet it will work.

You might not have to take this step, but if it isn’t working with SMS verification on the Brave browser try that and see if it works.

I use capital ones website on graphene OS and have full access even to temporary cards and all that.

It didn’t want to play nice with Vanadium so I had to use Brave browser just for the banking stuff. I have a friend who uses cashapp and chase banking that way as well.

Only thing that doesn’t work is tap to pay and its only because Google are dicks and won’t allow it. Small price to pay to not have one of their spyware loaded versions of android on the phone though in my opinion.

So in my imagining of how this would work out I think you could buy it outright maybe if you wanted and avoid the subscription OR get it subsidized somehow where insurance or government or facility you’re in pays part or most of it and then you would be stuck with the subscription model for using it. Kind of like you lease it from them, sort of. I could maybe even see where if you buy it outright you don’t pay the subscription but upon death it goes back to the company/facility but I think that will be a new way of doing things. It might even be a part of the condition for the overall subsidization of the industry. This is all just guesses though but I don’t think its that unlikely if you think like a greedy VC.

The reason they would do this for this technology in particular is because the end goal would be having no more cnas and stuff like that you would eventually after many many years of perfecting the technology be able to have these robots do all of that.

The long term projected profits will be insane. Again, this is just my guess but I believe it would work out very similar to this.

Edited to add: this isn’t JUST about helping the elderly BTW. The long term goals would be (again many many years down the road) for these things to replace heart surgeons and nurses and the like for everyone. No more pesky malpractice lawsuits or high wages to pay, just a deal with the company that makes these things. The goal really isn’t to help anyone except the people who own this or get involved by making them rich but it will be presented that way (X% success rate much higher than human doctors or surgeons!, no more elder abuse at nursing homes, etc)

You’re forgetting those eye watering return charts they will be promising. The government will probably give them kickbacks or something similar to get it established at first. They have definitely done this in the past to help businesses (Texas Instruments, Foxxcon, Amazon, Volkswagen and many others they spend about $200 billion a year doing that)

Also when someone dies they don’t get buried Egypt style with their robot, that unit would be the property of the company/insurance/facility and go to the next person. Although I will admit mortality rates among elderly is something I didn’t consider but disabled and injured or otherwise handicapped people will be the customer base as well.

And I don’t know if I said it in this comment or the other one but getting them into facilities/hospitals will absolutely be the end goal of all this but they have to go slow and test it all out first which is why I think getting them into homes will be the first goal.

Also to add more to this, the 15¢ savings was just me being cynical the actual savings will be a lot more significant but the subscription model they will undoubtedly attach to something like this will be the real money maker I’m guessing they’ll charge it annually and I bet it’ll be quit expensive.

“Yet, the Danish Presidency still leaves a door open for mandatory scanning by planning to introduce a “review clause.””

Taking it down brick by brick one step at a time.

Its because its essentially an ad and presented that way.
