That doesn't work too well out in the ocean and lots of other places too. If you can't use your gravity map, you're gonna use GPS for precise position data.

I'm not sure you got me. How do the map makers update the map? If the gravity variance changes so it can't be used to determine your position then clearly you need some other way to determine your position to update the gravity map. And what might that be??

But how do you get your position to update your map? Oh... GPS will work!

That's crazy! I had no idea they were charging that much now. Thanks for sharing!

It only solves it if you can install it on those routers. Can you??

I got the same error but hit reload and then it loaded fine.

Legally they can't unless we grant them permission, and we shouldn't. Everyone should be offended if they even ask.

I'm not sure it's fear of lawsuits. We don't sue cell carriers for not monitoring text messages, and even if we did Snapchat's pockets are deep.

Snapchat isn't afraid of being sued... they're selling your data and may also assist the government identify "Anti-fa" agents.

So we should grant permission to our cell carrier to listen in on our calls and read our text messages too without warrant? Of course they'll sell your data too.

Don't give up your freedom and your constitutional right to privacy.

Except Snapchat doesn't have to surveil its customers and we really don't want it to.

Does Apple surveil iMessages? Does your cell carrier need to monitor your text messages? Does it listen to your calls to see if you make terroristic threats?

Some bad things might be prevented if we "listened in" to all communications and then triggered a police response when something alarming was said. But doing so is ripe for abuse by those in power as well and that's why warrants are required before surveillance and the invasion of your privacy is allowed. No warrant was necessary here because Snapchat makes you accept the surveillance under its terms of use, which all apps and cell carriers could technically do. And your Amazon Alexas. We don't want that. Without privacy you don't have freedom.

As I said I'm not arguing for Meta's glasses. They're ripe for abuse and I have no doubt there are people who would use them in inappropriate ways and in non-public places where a person otherwise expects some privacy.

While there are valid reasons for recording things both in public and private, without a doubt the ability to secretly record video will be abused.

A person being able to record what they see and hear is different than a robot that records everything. I strongly disapprove of flock and online ID verification. Those aren't related to a person being able to make a personal record.
