Now go and pick them up like you did with nerf rounds as a kid

the hobby thing really gets on your nerves after 3-4 times of spending a shitton of money into every single one

they definitely do spy on their users and sell their data, but are very clever at marketing their items as fashionable and people fall for it

Unfortunately privacy in schools is at the lowest point yet, not only with Microsoft and stuff, but with Google providing the whol ecosystem of Chromebooks/ Sheets/Presentations/ Writing/Device administration and stuff.

You are pretty much left no choice but to either submit everything to these corps or go to another school where it's probably gonna be the same.

Ad an example, lately, to combat AI usate in writing assignments, teachers nave starter accepting only Google Docs, so that they can see the writing history and determine if it's written by hand. Not only is this easily bypassable with a couple brain cells, but it also forces you to use yet another online service, as writing it and then pasting it on Google would be counted as AI.

what's the fun in modding if not the two hours where you think you've bricked everything and you're scrambling through a 52 page post on XDA trying to find someone with your same problem

nope, it's actually used system wide for many things, mostly low power geolocation, apple has it's own NLP system, and there's actually a few privacy respecting ones which you can use if you have a rooted phone (Mozilla NLP/DejaVu NLP, with the latter being offline and relying on a database made by itself using the data from a time you had both GPS and wifi active)

As of September 2014, the European Union had authorized 49 GMO crops, which include various types of GM maize, cotton, oilseed rapes, soybeans, a sugar beet, bacterial biomass, and yeast biomass​. The seeds are developed by private companies, however applications for the authorization of a GMO for cultivation must be submitted to a competent authority in an EU Member State. Then, the report is sent to the European Commission and other EU Member States for even more checks. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) also can intervene if they believe it could be hazardous.

so yea, not a perfect world, but close enough
