I don’t know, all I know is that my driver’s license is already compliant with that, I think. All I had to do is bring a few extra things to the BMV when I renewed the license. I didn’t really think much of it at the time but it’s one of those things that’s nice to have and didn’t really cost too much extra.

In the same boat. I’m going to have to drop em and switch to mullvad.

A little more info please, all I’m finding is info about a money transfer app.

Don’t.

Be safe.

They have mossad ties. Their CEO or something is a former spy. It’s owned by Israel.

I actually live in the US and am considering a burner for when I travel.

Lol. I apparently got really fn lost. Hahahah. Thanks for the heads up.

Correct. I did follow up today and read some more sources and it sounds like it’s not quite as simple a story, but the dependence on the US military seems to be a significant issue. I found a better article with a more nuanced take here if you’re interested in that sort of thing: https://theaviationist.com/2025/03/10/f-35-kill-switch-myth/

My understanding is that that plane needs to “call home” daily or it won’t work.

I couldn’t find the article, but found a more recent one that basically agrees with you, except on the whole replacement of the computer systems. That plane took so long to complete and had so many problems, im betting it’s easier to design a new plane rather than reverse engineer this one but that’s neither here nor there.

I think the largest issue is the over-dependence on the US military across the board which as you mentioned, we see playing out in the Ukraine already.

Do you think the EU has what it takes to rebuild fast enough to stand up for themselves alone?

I hope so. I’m not informed enough to know.

Yes. This is why I’ve disabled it repeatedly when it supplants my assistant.

If they remove automation, well, that was the one thing standing between me and de-googling.

Basically, yes.

I read that it’s trivially easy for the US to remotely disable those planes. Seems like a security concern to use them.

Reddit says the vast majority of users will not be affected Is that because the vast majority of users are bots? 🤔

Welcome, internet stranger!

I don’t disagree, but the systems necessary to make this happen non-destructively just do not exist.

Although it is kind of a downer. In the 70s, they predicted the downfall of society. We’re on track with the prediction, more or less.

Lies, damned lies, and statistics.

Wow, you guys really are super nice. I like the cut of your jib. :)
