    So the remote screen lock only takes a phone number? No sign in necessary??? Edit: It needs a "security challange", so better than nothing. The funnier part is you need a phone to call their number after visiting the website. At least with "Find my" I can just login anywhere and lock it.

    Could I enter my friend's phone number? Could someone make a script to to lock phones at random times???

    That would be infuriating.

    Man didn't capatlize her name....at the start of a sentence. He had to back out of the autocorrect to do that (or use a desktop...but still)!

    Yes but at least they are getting unique ideas and not just whatever ad bullshit the general internet feeds them.

    I also love the A+ prose.

    No the government should not stay out of it.

    How does this make any sense "if you, or anyone you know, has ever bought our taxi, you can not sue when our driver hits you"?

    "Buyer beware" is not an argument when this shit is buried in pages of dence leagle documents or in some case never presented to the end user (in the case of a things like appliance delivery, where the buyer never sees the documents included). Do you expect me to hire a lawyer to buy a washer machine, or to sign up for a free Disney+ trail? Speaking of Disney, how about that "allergy friendly" restuant that killed someone with allergies. Theae forced arbitration clauses are letting companies people get away with wrongful deaths.

    implied warranty of merchantability If the restaurant says their food does not contain an ingredient and they say the food prep is craefully done to ensure no cords contamination and someone dies because the ingredient was in the food - there's a problem and justice needs to be upheld.

    Being a rebublicans or wanting "small goverment" has nothing to do with this. Yes too much gov intervention is bad, but with out it we'd still be eating rats in our hamburgers.

    Don't bring abritarty sides into a problem when people are dying and no one is getting held accountable.

  • Read this if you own a Juicebox EV charger

    So there will be at least a partial refund right? Of course not.

    This is like selling someone a birthday cake and after they have a few slices you scrape of the remaining frosting and suck out the moisture.

    IMO juicebox should be responsible for 25-50% refunds for taking away the web features, depending on how much more it cost than similar products without the features. The charger it self still work, so I don't think a 100% refund should be required.

    Alternatively, they can (preferably) release the software under an open source license or sell the service to another company who is forced to match whatever the subscription cost is for at least 7 years.

    Edit: I just read a comment on the article, I take back what I said, 100% refund + plus cost for an elecrrition to rip this shit out peoples homes.

    your charger can potentially deliver more power than the branch circuit to which it is attached (i.e. if you have a 48 amp charger on a 40 amp circuit) you need to use the software to derate the charger so that it limits charging to an amount valid for your circuit.

    That should not be a software switch...

    It the governments job to uphold the constitution and protect our right, they are failing by allowing corporations bypass the highest laws of the land with a fucking nonnegotiable hundred page terms & conditions document.

    I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.

    cybersecurity education for school-aged children isn’t doing a great job of talking about online safety

    This sentence pretty much sums it up. School's give them a computer, lock it down and put them in a bubble of safe websites and only tell them "there's a virus boogyman who will get you if youre not careful"

    Basically looking a calandar that stays on the deaktop, and can show events (Otherwise I'd just use a wallpaper). I don't need much interaction with it, if any, essentially just open the actaul calandar program. Sync with iCal is a big plus. While FOSS is ideal, I'm open to anything free (that can be firewalled or is actually private (unlikely, I know)) I found one that used windows 7 widgets, but it was too small and didn't seem to work right anyways.

    Does anyone have good experience with android tablets, and possibly replacing the OS? I see some interesting options from Google, lenovo, one plus, etc... I imagine the pixel one will be the easiest to load a new OS to, but I also wonder about the tablet support of things like lineage or graphine. The hardware doesn't have to be groundbreaking, just good enough to be my "travel laptop" for movies, comics and general interneting. I don't want a laptop, as I often like to sit in chair/bed to read comics or watch movies and a keyboard would make that awkward. One of my main concerns is the update support - my iPad has been getting updates since 2017, a lot of the android manufactures are promising a pathetic 3 to 5 years. I don't want to be "software bricked" in 5 years (I.e apps eventually requiring an Android version I cannot update to)
