because you don’t know what the last person using that IP did

MAC address is in the data link layer of the networking stack, and would only be seen by other devices on the same network as you. This isn’t visible to websites you visit (unless you’re on the same subnet), and as TCP packets go through network hops, the MAC address is replaced with with the routers MAC address for each hop.

The reason for MAC address randomization (standard on iPhone and Android) is not for anonymity to the websites you visit, but is there to anonymize the wifi broadcasts in your general vicinity, like a 30 meter radius. The MAC address is randomized so that broadcasts to check wifi networks while you’re out and about can’t be used to track your physical location.

It just takes one time logging in without having VPN enabled for your account to be associated with a location. Their ad network probably filters out known VPN IPs, or IPs from countries where there are no ads to serve up, which might leave the only valid IP address associated with their account to be used.

I assume it’s because Cuomo lost the primary and is running as an independent

I think with your example of “call mom” there’s some relationship thing in contacts you have to setup, even if the name of the contract is mom. I’m not sure how you tried with calling other people, but I’d suggest changing the contact name for your mom to a very specific name, and then try using that name and saying something like “Call Mary Elizabeth Jones” and see if that works.

Also I’d try initiating voice input different ways. Your car button might just trigger the input and send it to Google Maps. what if you hit the microphone button in Google maps on the screen and then said the command. What if you said “Hello Google”?

Personally I’ve always found voice input hit or miss, and Google has been constantly changing things it’s hard to even keep things straight on what you’re supposed to do. I would say your best bet is to try every conceivable option till you find what works, and then use that for as long as you can until Google breaks it.

This feels like some important content you could add to the post, as it’s pretty specific to your situation.

“If Gavin Newsom wants to oppose the training exercises that ensure our Armed Forces are the deadliest and most lethal fighting force in the world, then he can go right ahead,” Martin said.

The way this is phrased, it makes it sound like they wanted to kill motorists driving underneath so that they could be even more deadlier.

It’s called leeching

A full year? That’s more than 33 Mooches!

If messages aren’t end to end encrypted, then their contents of the messages can be intercepted by Telegram or any adversary who has access to Telegram’s systems. This is what the US Government was doing with Prism to suck in unencrypted data from ISPs without their knowledge. By not having end to end encryption, you have to trust that Telegram administrators are being truthful when they say they’re not looking at your messages, and that their systems are never compromised by crimegroups or nation states without Telegram’s knowledge.

If it’s a private group they don’t know what’s happening

This is not true, group chats with more than two members on Telegram are NEVER encrypted. Telegram admins have full access to see the contents of these private chats, and have the ability to respond to court orders, but they were ignoring those requests. This is why he was arrested. Google/YouTube respond to court orders and do take stuff down, and actual encrypted messengers like Signal have no way to see the contents of the messages, which is why the owners and operators of these services have never been arrested.

I don’t see why the CEO of Telegram is concerned about laws about scanning of private messages since the vast majority of the communication on Telegram is unencrypted.

When I bought an HDMI capture card years ago, it came with a little card that said “Do not use HDMI splitters to bypass copy protection”

Too bad every car has terms and conditions that are privacy invasive: https://www.mozillafoundation.org/en/privacynotincluded/articles/its-official-cars-are-the-worst-product-category-we-have-ever-reviewed-for-privacy/

Hope you live in an area where you don’t need a car to drive to work or to get groceries.

Shhhh with your logical thinking, we need to jump to conclusions and start blaming each other before learning any facts.

IIRC, the last paid OS update for Mac was Snow Leopard around 2007-2008.

And the voters have an even shorter term memory. Trending downward is nice, but I doubt the shit we’re dealing with now will be in most people’s mind when they vote in 2026 and 2028.

The bootlickers will cheer on ICE, just like in The Boys

What was the blunder?
