I think car privacy isn't talked about amongst any privacy enthusiasts online ever, and it apparently is one of the biggest data collectors out there. For someone like me who values electric cars for there affordability and environmental reasons, but still want physical car buttons and control over my data, how would I go about this?

Remember what Google CEO Eric Schmidt said “We can more or less know what you’re thinking about”? This dystopia will now come true with Search AI Mode.

The United States is facing what experts describe as a potential financial crisis as the Supreme Court reviews the legality of President Donald Trump's wide-reaching emergency tariffs.

Justice Amy Coney Barrett called this scenario 'a mess', warning that the government could face an administrative crisis of unprecedented scale.

Trade lawyers say the impact could be overwhelming. Many of President Trump's tariffs changed multiple times, and shipments often contained goods subject to different rates. The result is years of tangled customs data

Draft changes would create new exceptions for AI companies that would allow them to legally process special categories of data (like a person’s religious or political beliefs, ethnicity or health data) to train and operate their tech. The Commission is also planning to reframe the definition of such special category data, which are afforded extra protections under the privacy rules.

Documents seen by POLITICO show that Estonia, France, Austria and Slovenia are firmly against any rewrite of the General Data Protection Regulation. Germany — usually seen as one of the most privacy-minded countries — on the other hand is pushing for big changes to help AI.

This isn't good.

~~If anyone has a politico pro account (or a working circumvention) I'd really like to see the draft documents politico is hosting here: https://api.politico.eu/editorial_documents/983b557d-ec7e-4634-9e99-ce5f7b3edc71 behind their paywall.~~

It's great. I keep it in my fanny pack.

Summary by Leo AI :

This investigative report reveals how Harita Nickel, a major Indonesian mining company supplying the electric vehicle industry, concealed evidence that fish near its operations on Obi Island contained dangerous levels of heavy metals including lead, cadmium, chromium, and nickel. Internal documents show the company commissioned studies in 2022 that found contamination exceeding safety limits, then edited reports to remove warnings about health risks and publicly claimed fish were safe to eat—even hosting fishing tournaments to reassure communities. The contaminated fish pose serious health risks, especially to children, yet local villagers who depend on fishing continue consuming them daily, unaware of the dangers. Harita indirectly supplies major automakers including Tesla, Volkswagen, Ford, and Toyota, and experts suggest the company may have violated Indonesian securities law by withholding this material information during its 2023 stock exchange listing.

They all die at the very root, and I have the third one dying on me. Unrepairable due to it being cast into some plastic. All "cable-free" converters are passive only, and I have to buy these DACs from an online store, as the local electronics store now only carries super cheap wireless (about as cheap as a proper wired, but godawful of course) ones.

Since building a time machine that would bring me back in time to stop the publication of the art that inspired wireless earbuds (it was some cyborg anime girl listening to music on earbuds without wires, at least the super-thin and transparent smartphone is far away), I thought I'd add some proper cable strain relief to one of these converters.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said House Republicans should vote to release the files in the Jeffrey Epstein case, a startling reversal after previously fighting the proposal as a growing number of those in his own party supported it. 

“We have nothing to hide, and it’s time to move on from this Democrat Hoax perpetrated by Radical Left Lunatics in order to deflect from the Great Success of the Republican Party,” Trump wrote on social media late Sunday after landing at Joint Base Andrews following a weekend in Florida.

Trump’s statement followed a fierce fight within the GOP over the files, including an increasingly nasty split with Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who had long been one of his fiercest supporters.
