They actually have a great product, and they’re canceling it? The new ones were kind of expensive already, but every app supported it and it was very nice

You’re missing the additional list mentioned later on, also includes Lenovo and some others

I know of companies who have already tested and tried this our years ago, didn’t read the article but doesn’t seam very new to me

So the very first assertion the article makes is that this creates a giant database of sensitive information (presumably the license plates).

That’s just straight up not true? How can you write an article about this and make such a basic wrong assertion.

Any reasonable system would work as such: Scan plate -> is it allowed to be here? -> if noy store violation, if yes don’t send data

EDIT:

It seems like they really do be scanning every single license plate and storing it for no reason.

I don’t think it will ever come to a lawsuit, nobody would ever want that. Under the GDPR you must be able to delete content, and the server must communicate this to all federated servers. So in effect, there is already a legally binding agreement between all servers that this deletion request must be honored (for people physically in the eu), it’s just not.

lemmy servers are already breaking the GDPR if they don’t follow forwarded deletion requests from people in the eu. This would just effectively be an extension of this to data from all people.

There could be a legally binding contract stating that any deletion request must be forwarded to all parties it was send to, and that upon receiving such a request the data must be deleted. I do not think this would be unreasonable to ask to servers, especially as this deletion receipt could be fully automated.

You can use wireless ADB, or try to set the battery limit to 80% and only set charging to only start below 30%. Wireless ADB settings can be found in the developer options. battery options don’t always include the option to require battery level to drop below X% before charging starts again, and if it is, it is usually branded as battery saver feature or smth like that.

I drew the arrow one way, just because you want to invert the arrow doesn’t mean it’s correct 🤷

Thats not how economics works, if the cost of a product goes up one way or another, the price goes up, one way or another

Every car maker did, VW took the blame but the whole industry was lying

Paper and cutting boards come from the exact same trees. However when I tell you to use a cutting board instead of cutting on the table, somehow everybody knows that they shouldn’t use paper

I can really appreciate the performance is (should) be the same, makes a lot of sense

It doesn’t, it’s just a “solution” to make cars “better” without fixing anything. But some people think that “if we just make cafs cars better” they will eventually become good

Yes please, let’s fix cars so we can have more cars because cars good! If only cars didn’t have as much emission
