    1. Unenforceable
    2. Inaccurate
    3. Over-reaching
    4. PII not protected

    What’s wrong with it then? By the numbers, it seems everything is wrong with it.

    When you go order something from Amazon, you’re using about 15-20 computers in a row; probably more. PROVE you have the right. Yes, the server farm you’re using to make an order is included, and it’s a lot of machines.

    Who pays to make sure Ticketmaster server farm is ‘used’ by age-appropriate customers and the code to check that is installed and maintained? Why, you, of course. The order panel at the burger joint? You, eventually. Toll ticket at Airport Parking? You’re gonna love this. Guess what’s in your cable box? Guess how often you’ll have to have your face scanned just to turn on the TV? TV too. Fancy thermostat? There’s a computer Nesting in there. Scan that face, bucko; on the new unit you have to buy because, dude, that and your microwave just became e-waste.

    The list is unending. The implementation is shit. The data leak has already been shown with … discord, right?












  • They forced an update that won’t run on my phone.

    • can’t run the required version
    • old version just tries to update

    So I’m almost out anyway.

    I like their chai lattes. I can’t get the same taste anywhere else, and if I try to make it it’s a “we have mcdonalds at home” result.

    So about twice a year, now, I get a fucking c$6 latte as a treat. I miss 2019 with the many locations - one 80m away in my walkable block - and a really nice barista who made the effort to smile and chat directly. Now I have none of those things and this is like dia de los muertos.

    So… The number the author said, then?

    I suspect when the dude said ‘two’ it was an estimate, and not quite a professional assessment.

    Hey, man. I hate spam too. And I get a LOT of duplicate stores in my feed. And I hate them all. I’m glad you’re here, because you’re going a little manic and now I hate this French dude less. You’ve done a great service and I’m grateful.
