It’s a good backup of other services fail, or if you need a backup ride when busses are too spaced out or too indirect.

I try to avoid them except that my city’s taxis charged me $120 for half of what would have been a $50 Uber ride (I left the cab early) so I don’t trust them anymore.

Absolutely. I should have clarified Uber’s/Lyft’s scheduling is the scam. At least a hotel would be willing to call a second taxi company if the first one flakes. Uber would never.

Lol ride scheduling is a scam though. Last I saw they don’t make any promises that you’ll actually get a ride, they just automatically request it for you shortly before your scheduled time and you have to hope a driver is available.

Sure its one less thing to think about, but it’s also no different from doing it manually. Same risks.

The Lemmy app we are using on our phones needs to download content from Lemmy so it can be displayed to us. Lemmy might just have one big file full of links, but that’s annoying to have to write code to handle. Or it might have a folder full of files where each file is a post, but that’s also a bit annoying to write code to manage.

It (probably) uses a local SQLite database to store all of the cached posts.

Conceptually, a database is just a place to store things, just like a big text file. The database just handles a lot of the grunt work for you and makes it easier to search, organize, and filter the data.

So anywhere there is data, there could be a database.

It’s probably too expensive for them to record and upload every call, but im sure the transcripts of calls are likely to leak soon after this.

It’s not even limited to smart cars though. Yes used does let you a oid it, but it’s not like this is just people buying the fancy trims either. Shit like this is working it’s way down to the run of the mill standard cars year after year.

And each type of communication needs it’s own switch. Don’t let them pull some BS trying to make you enable all the hardcore tracking via a cell network just because you want to connect to Bluetooth.

I think it’s the accounts he’s following on Instagram. It’s a screenshot from her phone’s perspective I think.

Cool. Now all of Google Drive is blocked because one guy hosted a movie there for a few days.
