What wording would you have them use?

Dunno. My Corolla doesn’t have any features locked out that I am aware of. It certainly hasn’t tried to upsell me any “upgrades”.

You may think it’s crazy talk, but the concept has already been patented.

The way they want it to operate is not monitoring them, presumably.

Or pushing ads on the device idle screen, or inserted into other things you are trying to watch. (pre-rolls on HDMI sources…)

Is there a ful list anywhere of brands and models that lock non-network features behind a network connection requirement?

I’ve heard people complaining about some that don’t let you select HDMI input without first connecting to the internet and “activating” the TV, but the model is usually not specified in those complaints.

Who said that?

The strawman.

That must have been some special magic booze to get the old man so drunk he couldn’t recognize that he was fucking his own daughters, yet leave him capable of getting it up to do the deed…

Also the lack of salt pillars

Interesting… I wonder why?

Haven’t heard of kjiji, I’ll have to check it out.

It’s essentially Craigslist, but in Canada.

Craigslist doesn’t really have a user base here.

Of course, it always is.

But a lot of this type of enshittification can be difficult to learn about without getting your hands on thw product first. Especially if it’s a new model.

the CRA website? I’ve been able to access it on Firefox (through Linux) without being hassled.

Same here.

Maybe they’ve got some privacy plug-ins that are preventing the CRA website from functioning properly?

In the past, I have had to add my bank and some government websites to my whitelist

The problem is, you don’t always know they will do this until after you pay your money for them.

They already have - having Nukes.

That only defends against a sane leadership with a military chain of command that isn’t compromised.

Maybe not, but it is a default app, and the vast majority of people can’t be bothered to install something better.

That time was back on November 6.

Or January 20.

Google scans YouTube videos for information about what products appear in them

Yes, but not specifically looking for products. They’re scanning to try to learn everything about the video with the goal of better matching suggestions to the interests (as determined by watch history) of viewers.

The intention is (as always) to increase viewer session time because the more time viewers spend on the platform, the more ads they see and ultimately the more money YouTube makes.

Of course, that scanning and view history can also be used to target ads with the goal of increasing ad click-thru and conversion (ultimately also driving the profit goal)

Starting with the late 70s then the election of Reagan

Also around that time televangelist Pat Robertson was an advisor to Reagan and even tried his own run for president.
