Attached: 1 image Many long years ago I wrote a program in GFA BASIC that randomly grabbed the sprites from the Rogue sprite sheet and placed them on the screen. I wanted to add the music from Michael Jackson's Thriller, but I'm not a musician and couldn't manage to do that. Maybe someday I'll figure that out.

The 1987 movie "Born in East LA" could never be made today.

This is *the most malicious, brutal* malicious compliance I've seen in quite some time, possibly ever, and I am HERE FOR IT. Thank you, @jwz

The #Volkswagen #geolocation leak is a great example of why I am such a luddite when it comes to sharing data with companies. I use as few cloud services as possible (for example, with Apple, I only use the "Find My" service from iCloud).

Even if you make an informed decision to share your data with a company, the data can still leak by accident or through a system compromise. The unfortunate fact is that these days, many services are made difficult or even impossible to use without accepting excessive data sharing.

Apple Photos phones home on iOS 18 and macOS 15 by default. And by ‘home’ we mean Cupertino. You can opt-out - if you know you know… #apple #iOS #MacOS #privacy #infosec

As it turns out, Volkswagen has been collecting extensive geo data from all their electric cars and made them available online in an AWS bucket. Almost 10TB of geo traces from 15 MiO cars. Amazing detail and patterns. This is why I don't want a smart car 🤯 https://events.ccc.de/congress/2024/hub/en/event/wir-wissen-wo-dein-auto-steht-volksdaten-von-volkswagen/ #Volksdaten

[38c3] Wir wissen wo dein Auto steht - Volksdaten von Volkswagen

Welche Folgen hat es, wenn VW massenhaft Fahrzeug-, Bewegungs- und Diagnosedaten sammelt und den Schlüssel unter die Fußmatte legt? Was verraten Fahrzeugdaten über die Mobilität von Behörden, Ämtern, Ministerien, Lieferdiensten, Mietwagenfirmen...
