Heard about this a while back. I think the real explanation is that amazon wants cameras in their vehicles to monitor their drivers. But Amazon's insurer says "if you have this video we want to see it, and if your drivers are distracted in general, your insurance rates are going up" and/or when there's an incident, any evidence of distracted driving will be leveraged against amazon... so instead of getting rid of the cameras, they are micromanaging their employees not to be distracted while driving, where "distracted" includes talking on the phone and also singing or speaking.

It's all really shitty tbh.

I get that with a company as big as Amazon, small margins can make a big difference, but... pretty sure that's just an argument against giant fucking companies running everything...

But there IS a process and they are following it....

Not sure if it's a factor for you but roku tries to phone home a lot more than anything else on my network (or perhaps my firewall just catches it more than other devices and apps). Otherwise roku is pretty good.

Nvidia shield tv is better though. It's the best set top box. Made even better by replacing the default launcher/ home screen (android TV default launcher now has 2/3 or more of the screen taken up by ads or "recommended content" which is just ads).

Feels like what happened with android tv.

I see you've more or less chosen proton.

Came here to say that I have been using tutanota for years now and it works very well.

It does fit the use case of encrypted emails to people who don't use tutanota. How it works is they will receive an unencrypted email letting them know they have an encrypted email waiting for them, along with a secure link to an https encrypted, password protected web interface with inbox and outbox.

Just wanted to point this out for anyone else evaluating privacy focused email providers.

Maybe it's me misunderstanding, but 127 is considered room temp?

Night Owl makes a doorbell camera. Haven't used it but it's one of the few I found when looking for them that doesn't force cloud services on you.

It kind of is when the machine ships with windows or macos

Let’s see the poorly generated art, the “self driving” failures, and THE HANDS!

Not to that extent, but yea.

Maybe because posting here seems less like shouting into the void? I get replies to most of my posts and comments. Way more engagement.

This was from around 3 weeks ago. I pretty religiously (pun intended) blocked and reported ads from the "hegetsus" fundie christian bs group for probably 6-8 months. Naively I thought it actually started making a difference.

Then I just get served an ad from them with a little note that this was "Posted from a blocked account".

"Blocked"... you keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means...

I really like nearly all of Wes Anderson's work. I heard someone say this was like Wes Anderson trying to make a Wes Anderson movie... and I agree. Not that that's a bad thing, but things can often come across a little cheesy when someone knowingly "turns it up to 11" so to speak.

Also, it felt like this was (perhaps arguably) Anderson's most "meta" film. Again, not terrible, but also very on the nose and not very subtle.

All said, I do feel like I would like to watch it a few more times before really cementing where I put it among Anderson's other work. Right now it's probably mid-tier for me.

Love to hear other people's thoughts.

I know that guy who supposedly popularized the term wouldn't necessarily agree with Steely Dan as Dad Rock, but to me it fits the bill.
