after paying him tens of millions, they did it again a thousand more times because thousands of tens of millions is billions. tens of thousands of millions of dollars. It's an insane amount of money.

I've run cables between floors, down stairs and such. Stairs make things easier, because you can run the cable across them without tripping anyone, or needing to cover them. You can wind through bannisters to avoid using tape too.

Also, you should only be running one cable, and putting a switch at the other end.

Q: why is running a cable across the house not an option?

it's not length, since 30m should be enough for most mcmansions.

it's not cost, since cables are fairly cheap. Cheapest option there is.

you run along wall edges, taking the long way if you have to. When crossing open areas, you lay a rubber cable protector over the top (or a strip of carpet with a gutter cut out underneath), to stop tripping and make it look nice.

absolutely agree with the mesh wifi. Two stations, one at your NAS, one near you. They'll form a direct high-speed link between each other. Zero effort. Faster than Powerline ethernet, and most other options.

yes, with your average phone.

I'm sorry you failed highschool physics.

"nobody said"... and then goes on to say it's impossible 🤦‍♂️

jfc you people. 🤦‍♂️

if your cars don't turn, how do they leave your driveway? 🤦‍♂️ jeezus you people are dense as heck.

I love how there's all these science and software experts who think this is impossible, when it is clearly very easily possible. It's not a question of if it's good (it isn't) or if they should (they shouldn't).

Hiding your heads in the sand and collectively saying they can't - in a pro-privacy group - is insane. It's like reading about how you can hack an air gapped computer and having a bunch of Amish say it's impossible.

Maybe figure out how they are first, then talk about what to do about it. But this collective "nuh-uh!" is nuts.

that's great if you never need to pause or skip tracks.

careful, that's a hardcore tankie troll you replied to.

in some parts of the world, it is, yes. And they put up cameras to catch and fine people for it. Ridiculous or not. 🤷‍♂️

two different things: yes, you can make a plausible determination of a person's position in a car based on sensors. yes, you can also not have enough data to make that determination.

It's absolutely possible with things like usage and gyroscopic sensors. You want to say software could never figure it out, I'll leave you to it. It's high school level physics.

nope.

I bet you think the inside and outside of a record turn at the same speed.

no moving of goalposts.

the topic is "driver or not", nothing more.

there are four options to sit in, generally speaking.

you're saying both people in the front have the same gyro data. That's fine; my point is she's not in the back - or if she is, such as in a taxi or uber (which is the original situation) - it's detectable.

do you remember when phones started automatically remembering where you parked? they did that by knowing a) your speed changing b) the pedometer counting (among other things). My point is: this isn't as impossible as you and others seem to claim. That's it.
