The Gemini app. I can't uninstall it from my phone but I have it disabled. Not sure if Google's other account access and apps on my phone are going to still feed into Gemini.

If I have the app disabled it probably can't do anything right?

Damn I love Chon, I listened to them a lot in highschool

This is a really common Chinese espionage strategy. Every military base, department of energy site, and defense contractor is surrounded by properties owned by Chinese government shell companies for the purposes of surveillance

It's a classic move by totalitarian states, Fascist Italy and the Soviet Union used the same tactic (North Korea continues to use it). And unfortunately it was pretty effective. No one really believed the people shut away were actually crazy, but they sure were scared of being disappeared to an "asylum", "psychiatric facility", or "reeducation camp".

This is literally how the soviet union suppressed dissent in the 80s. Disagreement with the party was legally considered a sign of psychological issues. They did this to replace the gulags.

Arguably the air force was also just too scared of flying wings to give them the development they needed rather than the tech being unsolvable at the time. It's a shame that none of the prototypes were preserved

Is this about Costco?
