I compared pricing from hotels next to the airport (that have free shuttle service) and they appear to be $20-30 cheaper on Uber vs the airport pickup point. Planning on trying this on my next trip.

CBDC is being evaluated by pretty much every countries central bank. Governments are eager to roll out Central Bank Digital Currency as it will be the ultimate form of control on citizens.

CBDC will allow govts, at their discretion, connect your money to your ‘good citizen score’ (much like China’s Social Credit Score) and lock you out of society.

you can buy comma.ai hardware, its base use is "dashcam"

you can, at your discretion, load self-driving software (openpilot), which can take over driving for you, in addition to maintaining dashcam footage

they have a subscription that will store footage in the cloud too, iirc

Google Maps records everything and sends it to the cloud to log your entire journey while using the app. They've made it into a feature to show "average speed" and similar details in the Maps app.

They have your speed, where you began and where you were going. Way more damning.

>Install feels almost suspiciously easy coming from the likes of cyanogenmod.

this is a great teaser statement

I miss the days of having to open 9 xda threads to figure out how to install some ROM. That whole scene seems to have died off as Android puts up more walls to increase reliance on locked down services

one of the contributing factors is because iOS offers native search support for DDG and they don't any other providers (eg. Brave)

precisely, every single one of these reports is PR to pump Airbnb

This guys opinion is meaningless. Any coverage of his statements should be seen as corporate PR trying to drive more bookings, to boost their 10% “platform fee” revenues.

it's possible with AdGuard Pro and similar apps on iOS, although it's obviously not possible to run these apps with root privileges, like AfWall and others.
