A modern spin on it would be like:

The son is accused of drug trafficking

The father: "I can't access the cloud drive account on [Site Name]"

The son: "If you ever remember the password and get in, delete the account. That's where my (drug trade) ledger is"

Overnight, the FBI filed subpoena to the cloud company requesting a copy of any files on any of [the father]'s accounts. Within days, the company compiled and send the info to the FBI.

[The son]'s defence attorney got a copy of the files due to the discovery process, and passed it on to the father.

The father: "Son, I don't know how, but your lawyer just sent me an email this afternoon with all the family photos"

If the government is willing to spend the effort to investigate, they'll find that deleted comment you posted 10 years ago criticizing the government.

But if you want to find your lost files after your cloud account gets suspended for vague "ToS Violations", I hope you have a backup, because good luck trying to get the cloud provider to send you a copy of your files.

It might be out there, but not for you.

Unless you convince a government to try and get it for you. ๐Ÿค”

Try: "What's the difference between a male cat and a female cat"

Its literally on the first page. ๐Ÿ’€

(I was thinking of personality differences, not cat anatomy)

Would you rather live the life of an average person in the current era, or live as an absolute monarch 500 years ago? Why? in c/[email protected]

Wish granted, you live in a bunker somewhere deep underground and is witnessing mutated lovecraftian creatures that can't even be explained using today's words.

How exactly are people supposed to "be honest" with their therapist, when they type their notes into a computer system? (sh.itjust.works)
 

Especially considering the fact that your country's politics could change in the future.

Going on an honest rant against the regime seems very dangerous.

You can have a face-to-face conversation with a friend, but how do you do that if you want to talk to a therapist? No therapist is gonna make an exemption and leave their phone in another room, not to mention, they literally write their notes into the computer system, instead of on paper.

And with lawyers? I just read about how Luigi Mangione's conversation with his lawyer is being unlawfully recorded. How do you even have a conversation with your lawyer if you are in custody and they could just hide recoding devices all around the jail?

Sure, maybe they can't use the evidence in court, but they could just leak an out-of-context audio clip to the press to win the "court of public opinion".

This question is common throughout the internet, but I'd like to see Lemmy's response.

The country you end up in would be random, you don't get to pick.

What are some of the impacts of a power outage that isn't that obvious / isn't talked about a lot? And What happens to restaurant bills? Do Buses still work? (since card payments wouldn't work) (sh.itjust.works)

Obviously this is about the power outage in Spain.

While normally, if a card declines, people would probably have to leave their IDs with the restaurant while they went to get a withdrawl from their bank; this is a power outage, withdrawls wouldn't work. It would be silly to arrest people because of a power outage. So I'm assuming people just have to give the restaurant owner/management their identity info with a promise to pay?

And power outages shouldn't affect buses, since they run on gasoline/diesel, but the payment system processing transit passes might not work. Do buses still get run during a power outage and they just let people on for free, or do they just shut down the bus lines?

Spy on your family member's movements for just 10 Dollars a month! Satisfaction Guaranteed or your money back! (lemmy.ml)
 

cross-posted from: https://sh.itjust.works/post/37022405

This is a carrier in the USA (T-Mobile).

I did a quick search for the other 2 carriers using the term "[Carrier Name] Family Tracking" and Verizon and AT&T also seems to have it.

And according to https://www.t-mobile.com/support/plans-features/t-mobile-familywhere-app, it says:

FamilyWhere uses geolocation data from the T-Mobile network and is not affected by changes to device location settings.

So it appears that its using cell tower triangulation. Turning on Airplane Mode should stop it (assuming there isn't a separate tracking app on your phone)

Oh Wow, What a wonderful tool for abusive spouses and abusive parents. And telecom companies are making money off of it. ๐Ÿ™ƒ

TLDR: Its a good idea to get your own separate cellular plan.
