1·15 hours agoThey want it to be known, otherwise there wouldn’t be fail codes output to the OBDII port…
That’s only there because it’s required by law since 1996, and only a small subset of those codes are actually standardized/required. Many of them are specific to vehicle manufacturer and are only known to the public due to leaked documentation.
Auto corporations don’t want you to easily have diagnostic info beyond the most basic things (tire pressure for example), they want you to bring it back to them. They don’t profit off you fixing it yourself.
*read receipts
The device will receive the message and send the received receipt regardless of the user (unless they have airplane mode on, or the device off entirely). It won’t send read receipts until the message is actually viewed though.
Personally, I turn these off completely. You’ll get a response when I’m available and feel like it; I don’t like people feeling like they’re being ignored just because I’m busy, or not ready to reply. I also find it kind of creepy having my phone report to others what I’m doing/have done.
You got several TLDRs
Here’s a longer play by play, with most of the details, if your interested:

I had call recording on my Samsung devices for years, up until the beginning of last year when they broke all the third party recording apps…
It would be really nice to have that back.

AFAIK, it’s never made it out to the public unfortunately.

Seems to be a tool for taking an image and Geo-locating it, even in cases where other sources of data like Googles street map cars are insufficient.

It makes a lot of sense when you consider those with visual impairments.

That’s right; the Insane Clown Posse demands you register your apps with them for your saftey.
That and most accounts that use TOTP auth apps, let you bypass/disable them via email 2fa, while also letting you reset your password the same way…
Got access to your marks email? You’ve got both factors.

Not when you’re terminated with cause.
Committing crimes on the clock is more than enough reason to fire someone. Dudes incredibly lucky he was asked to resign instead of being fired and charged.
But, what does that actually achieve besides limiting Canada’s ability to, for example, seize assets? TikTok, being a digital platform, isn’t very dependent on regional presence; it’s not like you’ve gotta head to their offices to post/view content.
If TikTok/ByteDance isn’t complying with Canadian laws/standards, Canada no longer has leverage to influence change.
How does this actually ‘harm’ TikTok and/or protect Canadians?
The article writer’s didn’t even read the paper they are reporting…
This is power-over-skin. Ie: power transmitted from one device to another via human skin. It’s not harvesting or generating energy from the human body.
The research paper, published by Andy Kong, Daehwa Kim, and Chris Harrison from Carnegie Mellon University, notes that the human body is particularly efficient at generating 40 MHz RF energy.
No. It doesn’t. At all…
Page 1 of the research paper PDF:
We call our technique Power-over-Skin Prior work has found that the human body is particularly efficient at conducting 40 MHz RF, while largely confining transmitted power to the body
Seems it’s a re-write of this article from Monday, leaving out the transmitter part.

(their source from 3 weeks ago) https://youtu.be/5PEN04-jyCU?si=JzzeLW6KalDKxOss
Power isn’t harvested from the human body it’s transmitted (in really small amounts) across the body from one device to another, using capacitive coupling and 40MHz AC voltage.
[…] the Government of Canada has ordered the wind up of the Canadian business carried on by TikTok Technology Canada, Inc. The government is taking action to address the specific national security risks related to ByteDance Ltd.’s operations in Canada through the establishment of TikTok Technology Canada, Inc. […]
[…] The government is not blocking Canadians’ access to the TikTok application or their ability to create content. The decision to use a social media application or platform is a personal choice. […]
Sooo, what’s the goal here? How does this help, or effect, Canadians?
Hence the deletion.
