I wrote about Oura's security and privacy practices earlier this year for this.weekinsecurity.com, and found:

• Oura rings *don't* end-to-end encrypt users' health data;
• Oura *can* access its users' data;
• Oura told me that the company *has* received U.S. government demands for users' data.

can all these freaks go outside and leave us alone

If your replies are full of people telling you that a viral video you posted is actually AI, do the world a favor and take that shit down (at least clearly label your post to say you enjoy it despite being generated).

There are enough cute pets, people being brave, or injustices without bs.

Multiple generations and continents asking “if not fren, why fren-shaped?”

We are in peak French heist season.

Not wanting to disappoint you so much that it lies is the last quality I want in a computer.

Don't start family arguments by bringing up politics at the dinner table.

Start the fight by voicing your opinion that we need to ban cars and remove street parking.

Wait until everyone has been drinking for a few hours before breaching the topic.

Enjoy.

I am begging Strava to allow users to turn off “athletes to follow” feature.

It’s annoying and people have given the company privacy and physical security reasons why they want more control over this feature.

We warned you that self-driving cars would just create self-driving traffic jams, and here they are.

The car industry has no solution to the shortage of space in cities. Public transit, cycling, and walking are all part of the answer, but cars are not.

Waymo privatized another public street:

Chanel approaching 4th, San Francisco

Possibly queued for a Billie Eilish show at Chase Center ~half mile away.

The light rail train on 4th seen passing in front of this roboherd has more passenger capacity than all of them combined.

Free labor in exchange for quickly getting online isn’t the time to be petty, but my teenage self was not above doing all the work to ensure no answers were accidentally right, which might happen by answering all “a” or Christmas trees on the scantron. It was a flawed test, adults were not helpful.

This AI generated woman in training videos is just slightly off.

It’s much better as just a voiceover than watching a person who isn’t a person.

multiple things can be true:
1. Don’t be a jerk as a passenger (but wear pjs if you want! Who cares.)
2. Make the airlines improve the comfort/experience so regular people aren’t so frustrated. It doesn’t need to be business class or 1970s “glam” (smoking 🤢) but just economy of the early 2000s.

I’m short—in coach there’s no longer enough room to easily cross my legs, much less think about putting your feet anywhere higher.

But in bus/first, the airline will give you slippers or socks to wear for long flights.

So he just means to admonish the Poors.

Excerpt from the linked news story. Text reads: Fernando Vazquez doesn't understand why Border Patrol agents took him into custody Tuesday. Agents from Customs and Border Protection (CBP) pinned him to a gate at his Cary worksite, handcuffed him and pulled his wallet out. They saw his N.C. REAL ID. But Vazquez, 18, said they still kept him in handcuffs and ushered him into the back of a gray Chevy Tahoe. He sat next to another worker in his early 20s who was crying.

Excerpt from the linked news story. Text reads: 'I was in shock' Vazquez was born in Raleigh and lives in Apex. His parents are from Mexico, and he works with his dad as a landscaper. He graduated from Vernon Malone College and Career Academy in Raleigh. He was detained close to his former middle school, Reedy Creek.

Excerpt from the linked news story. Text reads: Vazquez said he saw eight agents — four from the Tahoe, and four from a Ford Explorer or Chevy Suburban. Agents put him in the back of the Tahoe and drove off. "I was in shock, basically," Vazquez said. While in the car, a different Latino agent asked Vazquez where he was from. "Here," Vazquez told him. "NO, where were you born?" the agent asked. Vazquez told him he was born in Raleigh. He said the agent got angry and cussed him out.

Excerpt from the linked news story. Text reads: The agents eventually allowed Vazquez out of their SUV, and he caught a video of them removing his handcuffs and throwing his wallet out of the car, its contents scattering on the ground. The video has over 5 million views on TikTok.

Trump's domestic Gestapo raided a job site, then handcuffed a US citizen born in Raleigh NC -- even after being shown the guy's REAL ID, which is only available to US citizens and LPRs

How Trump’s Transportation Department Is Loosening Safety Rules Meant to Protect the Public ProPublica has identified dozens of instances in which the Trump administration’s DOT has moved to cut, soften or delay safety regulations for cars, trucks, planes, trains and even oil pipelines. Expe...

DOT is on an unprecedented deregulatory blitz. The Trump admin calls this cutting red tape. Left unmentioned is just how many of the targeted rules sought to prevent deaths/injuries.

Upset about shitty air travel? You should dress nicer.

Upset about high prices? You should just ignore it.

Upset about bad inflation? You should just move to another state.

Here’s last night’s story about public media, who it serves, what we can do to counteract the Trump administration’s budget cuts to it, and why the answer is “sell Russell Crowe’s jock strap.” You’ll see. youtu.be/yknMJOgy2pA

It’s fine. Just like pumpkin is fine. I don’t love either.
