God damnit not this swill again. It's not even close to triple, it's like 15%. Read. The. Reports.

For real. Why does this misinformation keep spreading? I have the actual real numbers right in front of me now.

And it's the same as what MIT Technology Review reported and what Google reported publicly.

The EU's CSRD requires most of these companies to disclose their carbon emissions. So just go look it up, ya taints.

Yes. Supplier markup is 50% above cost, so set up a price watch and wait for it to go on clearance. You'll get it 50% off.

I got mine new at Best Buy last year when they were clearing out M1 stock.

This post was maybe true 5 years ago, but PC laptops have really started to suck. My macbook air was only $300 and it's way better than my work's $1k+ Dell laptop in terms of performance and battery life.

Feel free to add it to the list. It's Wikipedia.

Cool, you should add those in and find some sources. It's Wikipedia

The government had a warrant, read the article.

It's just made confusing by the fact that the thief had signed into the victim's phone, so it makes for a good clickbait story "police got the wrong guy's data"

If by "when asked" you mean "given a search warrant with very clear evidence that this man had stolen a car", then... Yes? I'm not sure what you're trying to prove here.

The ex-boyfriend had signed into the guy's phone. It's not like the police just cast a wide net and randomly got his data.

Look I never said I disagree. My point to OP is just please don't make up shit that straight up isn't true. Pick a real issue, not some made up paranoia.

Re 1: People keep lumping Google with Amazon and Meta, but Google does not sell your private data and alerts you if it finds out the government to accessed your data. People keep assuming that because the general tech community sells data that Google does it too, but check their privacy policy or just ask anyone who's worked there. They don't.

User data at Google is locked up tighter than fort knox. That's why the Snowden leak was such a huge deal, because the NSA was taking advantage of a security flaw that Google didn't know it had to scrape user data. Google patched it immediately after they found out.

Amazon, Meta, and Uber, are much less scrupulous.

They'd have to block all investment platforms. Even ETrade and Chase have ads like that.

Honest question, why does the fediverse like firefox so much? This is not a common opinion to have on the internet, but everyone here and on mastodon seems to have it.
