  • if you can, dont support the companies that are causing the problem youre trying to support a fix for”

    “nEvEr GoOd EnOuGH!!!”

    Doing more to make a bad situation better SHOULD never be enough until the bad situation is over. Do what you’re capable of, not ‘do the bare minimum because its good enough’.

    Cant donate? Go work to deliver/serve food.

    If the places giving food have all the food, but have a line. They need more people handing it out. That’s “free” to do.




  • Verymuchso indeed. Theres cameras on the BACK of our traffic lights at every corner in town too that arent on this list.

    But it helps navigating backroads/country and im not in a huge city so that’s good enough.

    I do wave at the residential houses as i dodge a camera at a corner street.

    So if theres 40k on this list for the US and apl this is missing, it’s at least double that number for sure.





  • Yeah, the “let no one else use it” portion of my comment is what i meant when you say “patent owners are generally more than happy to license their tech”

    I hope ford doesn’t.

    And yes while patents dont grant exclusivity it gives a company the option to try and argue that a competitors version isnt novel enough. In the USA, where ford is from, patent law screwery is abounds if you have enough money. Of which Ford is backed by the US government.

    Im not here to point out whether or not the patent is the issue. The problem is the spying and selling of personal data. If ford proceeds in a way that limits that exposure to the rest of car manufacturers then fantastic, even if its only in a nominal way.

    I do still appreciate your refresher on how patents work though! Hope the rest of your day goes well.
