Perhaps it’s a bit pedantic, but I’d consider that a road sensor not a weather sensor. Road condition and a webcam is related to weather but not one of the primary instruments like a barometer, anemometer, thermometer, rain gauge, etc.

I see what you’re saying though, it could be one of those road sensors.

Doesn’t look like any weather sensor is there to me.

I picked up a 5090FE just after Christmas at MSRP, also tax free since I bought it from the military PX. Seems like an absolutely insane deal now, which is sad considering it’s the single most expensive computer purchase I’ve ever made in 20 years of PC building. This shit is untenable.

edit: no type good

What are you referring to with “these”?

iOS has lockdown mode. If you have proof of this being bypassed I’d love to see it.

I could eat Italian food, as in actual Italian or Americanized Italian food (not Olive Garden), for my entire life. S-tier cuisine.

Yeah, I did. Did ya consider there’s more than just Apple who are collecting this data?

PS: each company has a different suffix, so you’re going to need to add a few more suffixes for them to even consider voluntarily not collecting that data.

As if hiding your SSID does anything beyond making you stick out as having something to hide, or that wardrivers would respect the suffix to your SSID

This is what I do. I allow it to go to 100% for traveling. I don’t need 100% charge when I’m around the house or at work with access to a charger.

Easily one of my favorite appliances, up there with dishwasher and washing machine. My floors are always insanely clean because that thing drives around every day.

I’m not saying that they’re changing the census for the purposes of propaganda, but if the data happens to suit the narrative they’re pushing, they’re not just going to ignore the data they’ve already collected from their poorly run census.

The first thing you said is “This makes census data useless”

I don’t think that it does, even if it’s garbage data. If it fits their narrative, they will use it to support their propaganda. It’s already paid for, thus it’s basically free.

“See, we’ve got the data” means nothing to propagandists.

Absolutely not. The best propaganda is true (or at least, appears to be true and supported by data). If there’s data to support their position, it will absolutely be used to strengthen their position. Ergo, if the census data says America is now skewing towards white, hetero, etc, because of their stupid changes, it will absolutely be used to further their agenda. They’re not going to waste it.

The data being incorrect doesn’t make it useless.

Correct, it doesn’t need it, but that doesn’t mean they won’t use it. They will use any data of spurious quality if it supports their agenda. Ergo, it’s not useless - it has a use for a rather evil purpose.

You keep inserting the word “need” when I never said that. It’s optional, but it enhances the effectiveness if they can point to a number and say “see, we’ve got data.”

No, but the falsified data isn’t useless just because it isn’t aligning with reality. It’ll absolutely be suitable for propaganda purposes.

That’s hardly useless. If everyone is blonde haired and blue eyed hetero etc. they have even more justification to cut programs that benefit anyone outside this demographic.

Prove what? I’m merely relaying the info from the article you didn’t read.

I’m just pointing out that it’s not IR blocking, it’s IR reflecting.

The idea is it reflects IR and blows out the exposure.

Yeah, you might as well turn off your antivirus and firewall seeing as those can be bypassed by a skilled actor anyways.

Wow, has it really been that long?
