Yes

Windidn’t

Same goes for the idiots driving them here.

That’s the point, who needs a truck the size of a whole house.

Japanese pickup trucks have the same bed length as current American pickup trucks at a fraction of the size.

Hell even trucks from the 1980s - 1990s are a fraction of the size.

Flock cameras can also pickup conversations of people passing by, let alone the massive amount of other privacy concerns with these being owned by third party companies and how extremely easily hackable these cameras are.

IMO, I don’t see how people in Toronto can support these cameras, especially since Ontario in general had speed cameras removed, and those as far as I know were police operated.

TBH it would probably make more sense to install the speed cameras back, those only captured photos as opposed to 24/7 recordings.

Edit: Went down a rabbit hole.

Toronto’s speed cameras were owned, operated, and maintained by Verra Mobility (specifically through their subsidiary, Redflex Traffic Systems (Canada) Limited). This is a Arizona-based company. While the City of Toronto selected the locations and processed the tickets. I can’t seem to find any clear info on how the data was processed or how the system was secured.

And simultaneously they’re lazy and don’t work, and have also taken all the jobs.

On top of all the other problems data centers bring to communities, one should be aware that datacenters also can behave like ike acoustic weapons.

I’m sorry, Dave. I’m afraid I can’t do that.

The question is do they have a Copilot?

Windows 11 is a hot pile of garbage. Windows 10 was a “better” choice TBH

TickTock is fine though right?

Who goes to prison now when a kid is found to be using social media?

And now what counts as social media? Is it only Facebook, or does it include things like WhatsApp, Mastodon, Instagram, Bluesky, Lemmy, a blog or chatroom?
