‘It went nuts’: Thousands join UK parents calling for smartphone-free childhood

The problem is we want/are forced to let kids to have access to the big internet pipe but we also dont, we want to moderate what gets through.

I feel like most adults struggle with maintaining boundries on usage let alone kids. I do not like the antagonistic arelationship between child and parent that smartphones naturally create. I think a dumb phone and some other machine "to fill the void" and "to not feel left out" is the correct solution at least for me.

Automakers Sold Driver Data for Pennies, Senators Say

So software is running on your car that desprately tries to extract and sent your peronal information to its command and control server.

I was going to say "be stingy with access to the OBD / CAN port" but if wireless is involved then avoid the beacon (its wireless and tucked away in a corner so you dont know if its there) or get your data stolen. I feel violated.

If you are cuious and have easy access to a copy, I would give it a watch. Its paced like an older film, its allowed to go quiet and even silent at times. its director is famous for being really good.

if you're have a Goodwill equivlant or movie store and have a DVD / BluRay player, you can get a cheap copy with luck and patience.

Android 15 will run Bluetooth with your phone still turned off.

Reply in thread

it looks like its going to be a hardware feature. if the main CPU is off, it implies the radio circuitry and its CPU (the BBM) are still powered. give google this at least, the special new Bluetooth API will be accessible to whatever OS is alive and awake to send commands (even if I don't trust that "off" means "off"). the fact that its using encryption (that's too complicated to be made out of Integrated Circut logic) means its likely another software feature added to the BBM co-processor (it handles all radio tasks on the phone). this all but confirms the BBM (at least going forward) will still get power, be awake and have access to the (transmit (TX) and reseave (RX) functions of the) radios even when everything else is properly off.

EDIT: or it could be an abuse of a generic BLE beacon mechanism that's "just there for whatever the consumer would need it for". but if they are doing proprietary encryption like they claim, that's not really possible without updating the BBM's software to add another feature.

Usually populations do a few diffrent things under oppression:

  1. everything is fine, look at our source of pride,
  2. it sucks but what are you gonna do?
  3. lay flat defeatism
  4. WERE FUCKING BURNING SOMTHING

Right now they want to think we live in a option 1 and 2 country. We will be an option 3 and/or 4 verry soon. They cant mask the minipulation in option 4 and cant continue to funtion with either 3 or 4.
