Are these apps able to track location and accelerometer data from the background? Or does this only apply to people who open something like GasBuddy while driving the car?
For GasBuddy, specifically, it was used for an opt-in feature known as "Trips" whose purpose was to show you driving insights such as those mentioned in the article (hard braking, hard turning, hard acceleration). Not enabled by default and looks to have been removed at some point.
Anton Yelchin was killed due to traumatic asphyxiation when he thought he parked his Jeep and got out of the car and it then rolled into him and crushed him against a gate. Arguably the blame falls on GM for building one of those stateless shifters that always pops back to the center.
The market is really difficult right now, most people don’t have the option to just find a remote work company. A significant amount of people who were laid off can’t find any company right now
I haven't used OneDrive but the iCloud Drive and Google Drive clients are similarly terrible. I one time had 5 GB of complex nested file structure in iCloud Drive and it totally froze up. I tried 2 different Mac's, an iPhone, and an iPad and none of them were able to sync up with the server to get those 5 GB out of the cloud. I had to request a GDPR to get a .zip file of my data... this was the impetus for me to switch to Dropbox although after the way they handled their layoffs I am looking to switch to Syncthing as soon as I have the time to set it up and get familiar.
Hence why I use Cryptomator to encrypt my data. Apparently OneDrive marks this as ransomware and sends you scary emails but does not lock your account. So far Dropbox does not seem to care about Cryptomator at all.
Edit: Not to defend Dropbox, but just saying there is a mitigation if you need it.
Why does everything need to be acquired these days? Why do we consolidate everything into a few big companies? Why can’t we just have technology spread out across multiple players.
