GM Says It's Dropping Apple CarPlay And Android Auto Because They're Unsafe in c/technology@beehaw.org

The fact that cars have touch screens and capacitive surfaces are what makes them unsafe. Physical buttons work with apple car play and android auto and make them safer

People don't want to belive it's possible. Whenever I tell friends and family about this they truly dont belive this will ever happen to them and if it does, they don't want to understand the ramifications and just say it's fine.

Why Even Your Local Grocery Store Wants Your Digital Data (www.youtube.com)
 

I honestly feel defeated right now, it feels like currently it's impossible to truly stay private online unless one is willing to move to a cabin in the woods with no internet and you stop using tech all together and truly become a ghost and stay offline. Can someone help me feel like everything I am currently doing is actually making a difference? Because right now it doesn't feel like it.

That basically indicates where they get their money between both groups. Enterprise, from hardware sales and support programs. However, consumer side is basically just harvesting personal information and selling it

How to pass low voltage ethernet cables through drywall with insulation (lemm.ee)
 

Hello everyone, I am pulling my home's existing ethernet cables from the garage and into my home to install a network rack. Currently my garage does not have insulation (for a future project), so it get's too hot during summer for my router to live there, so I want to install it in my mudroom where there is insulation. My question is if I drill a hole to put some sort of cable cover (ie. https://a.co/d/1hHosME) will it affect my home's insulation too much where I should be doing something else? If so, what should I do to improve the cable runs?

I Tracked an NYC Subway Rider's Movements with an MTA ‘Feature’ (www.404media.co)
 

During all this monitoring, I wasn’t anywhere near the rider. I didn’t even need to see them with my own eyes. Instead, I was sitting inside an apartment, following their movements through a feature on a Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) website, which runs the New York City subway system.

Any weather apps that use the NOAA api? (lemm.ee)
 

I've been looking for a weather app to use but every app uses AccuWeather which actually gets their data from NOAA (which is public and always free to use) and then repackage it for their own profit, so I would like to not give them any traffic if possible and go straight to NOAA. Does anyone know any apps like this?
