If it takes a whole 60 seconds for this glorified camera-carwash contraption to scan a vehicle and generate a report, they are charging $11,400/hour.

Hertz, I will personally sit on a roller stool with a camera and make beep boop sounds for that dough. Take my resume.

Oh! Thanks! I like that link. Definitely researching that more.

Really sounds like this database is based primarily on biometrics obtained during legal immigration and travel.

I wonder how it will identify those who came through illegal means? Unless that's totally not the point. Hmmm...

Meanwhile our plastic bag tax has pretty much eliminated paper bags and raked in fortunes in profits on plastic bags.

Personally, I think IPv6 is not a good choice for any service you don't want associated with a specific device. As I understand it, the prefix delegation comes from the ISP, but often the interface ID is derived from the machine's MAC address which is a link to specific machine hardware, can reveal information about the host, and possibly deanonymoized across networks.

I'd stick with IPv4 because NAT gives a tad more anonymity. Just my $0.02 though.

Y'all ain't seeing the bigger plan here like Republicans do.

We gotta make th next Taliban now so we have someone to go to war with in 20 years. War is profitable and will make America strong again after Democrats unfuck this pig. Then Republicans can swoop in and claim the credit!

/S of course.

We're so fucked these assholes are in charge.

That's great for food workers, but there are many, many more jobs just as dismal. I personally know workers who are scheduled randomly between 0 and 5 days a week. Hell, there was a month this year with 4 5-hour shifts. What complete BS.

There is no financial security whatsoever. But that's sort of the point. Keeps labor costs down and if they quit, no unemployment.

While I do think CoveredCA needs a healthy (pun intended) fine, tech companies need need a serious grilling for taking this info. Not just the cost of business crap that's handed out for getting caught.

More importantly, WE need resources to notify, find and curate or revoke data about us! Start putting that in settlement clauses; I don't care about my $3.20 gift card left over and split from a class action win.

That's good news! It would be great if relays made it difficult to be targeted. I last tinkered with TOR almost... Jeez!... 20 years ago haha!

I ran a relay too way, way back in the day and I remember almost a third of the sites I used blacklisted my IP address within days. It wasn't cool.

I ended up shutting it down, resetting my cable modem, and spoofing a new MAC address on my router to get a new IP address to get everything working again.

Using a VPN is smarter. I wouldn't run that on IPv6 whatsoever.

Ha yeah. It was repainted "Black Cherry" ages ago. Really nice color in the sun.

I think the turbo is leaking oil, fouling stuff pretty quick, and I dislodged the firewall pumping the clutch so that needs a few welds to keep from flexing. Lots of stuff to do on that car, and other projects had priority.

Guess I had a different takeaway from the graphic. I kinda see that now.

Updoot.

First of all, thanks mods for your work. I know spam sucks and ain't easy.

I'm new to this lemmy thing, but there seem to be a few bots out there that may be able to help or ban spammers.

Could we maybe look into that and automatically suspend/ban posts that link to amazon? That would seen to put an obstical in this kickback scam going on.

Just an idea.

 

So we're posting Celicas now?

This is a project car I've been working on off and on for a while. Yup, there is still much to do (mostly cosmetic) but it drove for the first time since I totally rebuilt the engine...

... until the heater core hose burst and sprayed my leg with hot antifreeze.

It's been a really fun project and hitting this milestone feels great!
