My wife and I have had our location shared with each other for years, but it’s not a “Are they cheating?” thing. I have been married for 14 years and never wonder if my wife is cheating on me. It’s just incredibly useful for seeing how far away one of us is from home to do things like plan dinner prep times, know where to look for a lost phone, etc. If you can’t trust your SO, there is something wrong that you need to address and micro-managing where they are is toxic.

My wife and I are the same. Shared location means rather than a message saying “are you on your way home?” you can just check where they’re at. If I’m out on a late night callout she can see where I am instead of worrying or constantly pinging for updates. Meeting somewhere? Live updates keeps everyone in sync, and let’s you know if you’ve got time to do something on the way or if they’re already waiting or whatever.

People must be in some super unhappy relationships if they see location sharing as nefarious.

I was reading old mates comment thinking… This dude is just describing reading a book.

The scientists claim this identifier, a pattern derived from Wi-Fi Channel State Information, can re-identify a person in other locations most of the time when a Wi-Fi signal can be measured. Observers could therefore track a person as they pass through signals sent by different Wi-Fi networks – even if they’re not carrying a phone.

Are there any scientists out there working in stuff that’s useful and beneficial to society? Or are they all just focusing on sneaky shit that makes it easier for The Man to make our life worse?

I’m still sad the original (good) NBN got replaced by the janky NBN that’s taken years to fix.

Malcolm Turnbull is the one I blame most for that. It was his party’s policy, but it was his charisma and perceived technology knowledge that sold it.

And he did it for the chance of being PM, not because it was the correct course of action for the betterment of the people he was supposed to be representing.

Imagine selling out an entire country’s future for a promotion. What a cockhead.

Disappointed it wasn’t tbh

There’s plenty of good content out there, it just isn’t necessarily the popular content.

Would definitely recommend installing the *arrs, and letting it roll on an automated list like an Imdb watchlist full of stuff you’ve never heard of.

I didn’t pirate for years when Netflix was the bomb. Then it all started going to poop but I kept the subscription running while I sailed the seven seas with the thought that it was just a little bit of a reduced library, it’s still good. It’s just a heap of shows cancelled after one season and even more content missing, it’s still good. But after a few years I had to accept that like a pig soaring over a dam, it was gone. So now no one gets my money.

Except my ISP, private indexers, a VPN company, and various hard drive manufacturers I guess.

Or as they call it in France, Le Porn
