'"Walmartwifi" isn't compatible with iCloud Private Relay' | Store demands privacy sacrifice to use internet in their cavernous dead zone of a building
  • They aren't invading the privacy here. They are preventing a malicious actor from running an attack via VPN and ssh tunneling in addition to IP address, device, etc. At worst they are associating IP with browsing at competing stores. Preventing the VPN was likely required by a lawyer and auditor and a risky attack vector for a billion dollar company.

    If Walmart was breaking https and inserting man in the middle games it would be in their policy. Other commentators went off into fantasy land edge cases where traffic is being decrypted. And it still doesn't change my expectation of privacy on a public hotspot.

  • You've made up arguments and comparisons. Google services monitor you. Android (as stated earlier) or AOSP or even pixel os doesn't. There is a difference. The OS is quite locked down. Nobody is forcing you to use any Google services. I'm sorry you missed that nuance.

  • Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe says too many carmakers are copying Tesla
  • I've done stupid engine swaps. Unless your vehicle has a kit, no chance you get it done for under 20k. The amount of planning to get shit to fit must be hundreds of hours. If you want to figure out the engineering you'll get in under 15k probably. I doubt it'll ever be cost efficient to convert most models.
