Shut the fuck up, Narayama Murthy.

These things are communicating by radio. Whether it’s wifi or 4G/5G modem, either can be disabled easily with a raspberry pi and some software.

Jesus christ, how lazy are you?

Hahahhhhaaha are you fucking kidding me? Come on. Black Mirror much?

Spoiler: far-right fuckstains with no jobs or life are the only ones interacting with this trash using Project2025 and white supremecist forums as source material to get fascist policies passed.

Fuck Sussex businessman Steve Endacott, and fuck this garbage.

There’s a hallmark/lifetime movie about this. The bank isn’t WF but we all know who it is.

After his corporate rah-rah and disbelief his bank full of good ethical people would do such a thing, at the behest of the main character he finds out from some marketing chuds it is in fact true. Believing in the company to do the right thing he goes against the main character’s wishes and tells an exec who expectedly closes the accts of the vocal customers and sweeps it all under the rug - deleting all record.

The love interest finds out his company doesn’t actually care about their customers when he asks if they are going to do a full company investigation and the exec laughs and instead offers up a potential promotion instead.

I knew the whole plotline was bullshit when he quit to become a whistleblower. As he gave his first interview on the main character’s tv station, he gave his full name as he did a live interview and didn’t get murdered by the bank immediately.

Thanks to Boeing we all learned that whistleblower is a far more dangerous profession than police officer and the chance of dying is thousands of percent higher. You really have to suspend disbelief at the movie plot.

How pathetic is the state of business that it wastes so much time we have to do that?

If you can replace one talented high-wage employee with 3 college hires then do this a couple times statistically you’re still going to retain some talented employees because not all can leave. Those that remain will train the others ou of necessity either directly by management or indirectly by a fear of missing timelines/ego/being the local expert/etc.

Management knows this and actively encourages this behavior because by the time the talented employee burns out and self-destructs, at least one trainee will be competent enough to keep things moving.

Who still uses Google in 2024?

What I’ve done is wired a different type of USB port to each door where the doorknob would exist. My kids and spouse all carry a different thumb drive for each door with the proper conversion adapter permanently attached so they know which door it belongs to. Each family member only uses the door for which they have the “key”. My wife prefers the back door. The USB port solution helps to deny access to certain rooms inside the house too as I’ve wired ports on those doors too. For instance I have a room where I keep the liquor that I can block the kids from accessing.

Each port is connected to a different RPI5 that runs software that upon a device insert reads a special file named for the date. Inside that file is the name of the family member so the script knows who it is. It then updates a spreadsheet hosted in Google Cloud so I can view it from anywhere. Google sends me push notifitations when this happens.

The beauty is that if one of my family loses their thumb drive I just make another and rotate the adapters so the old one won’t work anymore. My wife is the biggest culprit of this. She doesn’t work and is home all day but she still has a pretty busy life based on all the action that back door sees. But it has lead to a bug - more on that later.

It’s a pretty flawless solution - I’m so proud of it I’ve given my tech savvy neighbor a thumb drive of his own to help test the system. Like I mentioned I have one bug to fix tho.

It seems like every time my wife loses her thumb drive there is some ghosting in the logs. For instance, I’ll see a push notification with her name and a the back door opening and then a few minutes later another rear entry with her name attached but never an exit between events. Maybe an hour later then I’ll see an exit.

My neighbor always seems to do his testing while I’m at work too cuz I’ll see his name show up. My wife has mentioned he’ll stop by for a half hour or hour a couple times a week and answer questions about the system and tech. I think she wants to get a job in tech.

Another bug I’ve only seen happen a few times is the back door opening with my wife’s thumb key, the neighbor entering the back door, and then my wife’s name showing another back door event. I’ve called her on the phone to have her (and the neighbor if he’s there) troubleshoot during this and she is definitely home but she sounds really hurried and out of breath. I don’t know what she is watching on TV but it sounds like several guys arguing and when I ask why it’s so loud she gets worked up and has to mute the phone for a bit.

Actually now that I think about it I’ve started getting notifications of back door entries after my wife has gone to bed and I’m working on projects in the basement. It’s soundproofed down there so I can listen to music without waking her. I swear tho I’ll hear some off-timed thumping after these events.

But yeah, I really like the tech I got going on and my wife thinks it’s the best idea I’ve had. I think for v2 I’d like to implement a secret knock each family member has instead of the thumb drive so there’s nothing to lose. It would be much easier for my wife’s back door entry. I swear she squealed with delight when I told her how much time would be saved on entry just by a few properly timed forceful hits to a sensor on the back door. She wanted to try it out immediately!

Good luck!

Can’t wait to see these driverless trucks on an icy highway during a blinding snowstorm where a massive pile-up of vehicles has already occurred. /s

There are a million startups chomping at the bit to create or have their existing app become the TikTok replacement in the event it does get banned.

This is the nature of American Capitalism. A monopolistic entity is broken up for this reason or that thereby making way for competition. According to all those economists, competition is good and breeds innovation.

I don’t have a problem with this. Next go for Google, Meta, Apple, and Microsoft too.

Everyone calm down. They’re just going to use it for training AI and if you love tech you love AI. So this is a non-issue.

The trained AI will make their public offering so much more desirable

AI players are still players…

Now read the article again but replace everything China with America and it’s still a HUGE privacy invasive piete of shit. Fuck network-enabled smart cars no matter where they are made or by whom.
