I didn't even think about that. My adaptive cruise doesn't even work in the snow because the sensor gets covered up. And I'm pretty sure that's better tech than what Tesla uses.

When I saw the balloon of his stupid face in the video, I immediately wondered how many it would take to just carry him away. Is he still insisting he weights 215 lbs? I would guess more like 280, so that'd be 296 jumbo balloons according to https://www.omnicalculator.com/everyday-life/helium-balloons.

I came here to write "Elise Stefanik is a moron", but then I noticed Chen already called her an idiot. What an embarrassment to NY-21 congressional district (thankfully not mine). I love going up to the Adirondacks, but man is it MAGA country now.

Last summer, I noticed the print on demand t-shirt shop in Old Forge that has been there since at least the 80s is now run by magats. They had a row of anti-LGBTQ shirts and the usual Joe Biden hatred crap on display and I just walked out. I'm so tired of people making everything political and wearing it on their sleeves, sometimes literally.

I'd bet these fan projects lead to more sales of their garbage products, but these corporations don't see that because they want that licensing money now. Or they're just spiteful and vindictive like Nintendo.

Ah, the "good old days" before entrapment was established by case law. I would say our joke of a Supreme Court would like to overturn that too, but it'd apply way too often to their own hypocritical party. Although they would probably just make exceptions for their own party.

Companies are finding new ways to monetize personal data, too often without proper notice or consent. ICYMI, three current examples that you may want to act on to opt out: PayPal, LinkedIn and 23andMe in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

Thanks for the reminder. I fixed these all already apparently, but didn't remember setting PayPal shopping privacy.
