Lol, they think we can’t see throught their “we need to destroy [insert any privacy right] to save the children” bullshit. Never mind the fact it was never about saving kids in the first place.

Sorry for your loss. Definitely keep some movies loaded on your server for him in case they have a plex server in the sky

Not me fam, the less I have to do, the better. Amazon shipments literally save me 2-3 hours a week from not having to go to the store.

Prime membership ftw!!!

A small house for 74,000? Lol, you’d need at least double that in the Northeast part of America.

in before, “but I need my enormous vehicle because once every 13 years I haul 3 2x4’s and am too dumb to use a roof rack or rent a truck for the day!”

I win!!!

My enormous eletric vehicle (plug-in Rav4) is powered from my home solar panel system, and I use it to transport my dogs to the park a couple of times a week.

I’m completely guilt free!!!😃

Lol, do you even need it? The headline speaks volumes.🤣

Almost 1 in 3 Brits between 18 and 34 years old have received unwanted contact from delivery drivers or other workers asking them out on dates or for sex, the UK’s data watchdog has warned.

The survey of over 2,000 British adults carried out for the Information Commissioner’s Office found that, in total, 17% of people have had their personal information used for a romantic or sexual proposition after handing it over to a business.

That figure rises to 33% in London, where such incidents are most common.

“People have the right to order a pizza, or give their email for a receipt, or have shopping delivered, without then being asked for sex or a date a little while later,” said Emily Keaney, a deputy commissioner at the ICO.

“Our research today shows a disturbingly high number of people, particularly young people, are falling prey to these text pests,” she added.

In June, a female Etihad Airways passenger told The Guardian how she felt unsafe after a worker contracted by the airline found her phone number in the company system then sent her unsolicited text messages.

“There may be, amongst some, an outdated notion that to use someone’s personal details given to you in a business context to ask them out is romantic or charming,” Keaney said. “Put quite simply, it is not – it is against the law.”

A growing number of firms, particularly in delivery, transport, or logistics, rely on gig economy or contract workers. These workers are not entitled to the same employment rights as full-time workers, the jobs can be precarious and badly paid, and turnover is often high. One consequence is that sensitive customer information, such as phone numbers and addresses, is accessible to casual workers.

The ICO did not explicitly name any companies, but pointed to “major businesses” operating in food and parcel delivery.

Its survey found that two-thirds of the UK public believe it isn’t morally right to use personal details given for business purposes for romantic or sexual propositions.

The regulator said it’s cracking down on such occurrences, asking victims to come forward, and reaching out to companies to remind them of their data protection responsibilities.

If a company is found not to be following data-protection laws, it can be fined up to £17.5 million ($22.1 million) or 4% of its global turnover

Ok I get now. I can definitely see both sides of the argument, and it’s not going to be easy to solve.

Copyright law needs to be updated to deal with all the new ways people and companies are using tech to access copyrighted material.

What the article is explaining is cliff notes or snippets of a story. Isn’t that allowed in some respect? People post notes from school books all the time, and those notes show up in Google searches as well.

I totally don’t know if I’m right, but doesn’t copyright infringement involve plagiarism like copying the whole book or writing a similar story that has elements of someone else’s work?

Lol, I could actually own my bullets!!! Or just a jpg and a receipt. 😉

I was just looking at that. The only thing I don’t like is that you can’t purchase a yearly sub.

Lol, not yet. Hopefully, Activision isn’t watching this thread because that’s definitely something they’d try.🙃

True story. Video games have gotten so expensive that I gave up FPS’s because the virtual bullets are starting to cost more than the real ones.

I downloaded it just yesterday, and I uninstalled it after reading this article. Back to Firefox for me!

Lol, I’ll remember that for next time.😉
