    @4thLine4Life @waze Waze tells drivers to dodge the pothole. SolveTO tells the city to fix it. Different problem. Waze has the data, but it stays in Waze. Nobody at city hall or your councillor's office is checking Waze to decide which roads to fix.

    @iHateApplee @appltrack lmao just saying its the norm, surprised apple hasnt started sooner. Free platforms usually end up with ads sooner or later. i brought up the biggest map example but waze also has ads, im not sure why you have a problem with apple when they do something but anyone else is a saint

    @TheHauskarl I agree 100%. Early 2025 this got very real for me. It emerged that the UK government had secretly served Apple with a Technical Capability Notice under the Investigatory Powers Act, demanding access to end to end encrypted iCloud data. Apple's response? They didn't weaken the system for everyone. Instead they pulled Advanced Data Protection, their best iCloud encryption option, for UK users. What really stuck with me wasn't just the demand. It was the secrecy. These notices come with a legal gag order. Companies aren't allowed to tell anyone they've received one. The only reason any of us know is that the story leaked to the press. Apple itself was never allowed to confirm it. Only Apple was named in the initial reports, with zero confirmation either way about Google or others. By design that silence tells you nothing. You're simply not meant to know this is happening. (see below for link to articles). That's when the alarm bells really rang for me. I've since built my own private setup. A Raspberry Pi handles my encrypted offsite backups. My phone runs GrapheneOS. My ThinkPad runs Debian. This fully replaced Google Drive and iCloud. The same principle applies to software. LibreOffice does everything I used to need Microsoft 365 for, free, private, and with nothing phoning home. For most paid tools solid open source alternatives exist if you look. For cheap offsite backups: Hetzner Storage Boxes, 1 TB for around 3.20 euros per month plus VAT, 5 TB for around 11.40 euros per month. Excellent value. Add Infomaniak (Swiss) as a second target. It sits outside the EU and UK entirely. For phone backups I use Syncthing on GrapheneOS. It syncs documents and photos directly to my Pi over my own private network, no third party accounts involved. The files stay on hardware I control. On the phone I also switched to Organic Maps (ditching Google Maps/Waze). You lose live traffic but I would rather keep my location data to myself. My documents and photos live on my own devices and back up to storage I fully control. Nothing important sits on services I can't inspect. The bigger issue is the devices themselves. Anything that phones home is a hard no for me. Firesticks, voice speakers, smart home gadgets and so on. They are designed to send data back constantly, often without clear visibility. Fitbit stands out because it is owned by Google. Every step, heartbeat and sleep record goes straight to them. Fun fact: Fitbit data has already been used as evidence in court cases. The same privacy logic applies to GrapheneOS on my phone. If a device can't be trusted to stay quiet it gets replaced. With digital ID and age verification rolling out fast, now is a good time to audit what you're storing where, what devices you're bringing into your home, and what data you're feeding into cloud based AI tools. My rule of thumb: Whenever something digital feels too convenient, ask yourself: what is this really going to cost me?

    𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝒄𝒂𝒏'𝒕 𝒑𝒖𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑱-𝑨𝑰-𝑴 𝒃𝒂𝒄𝒌 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒋-𝑨𝑰-𝒓. 𝑾𝒆 𝒇𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑨𝑰 𝒎𝒂𝒄𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒆 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒚𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒔; 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒐𝒏𝒍𝒚 𝒘𝒂𝒚 𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒊𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉 Big Tech is dropping billions like it's nothing. AI models are accelerating weekly ... from LLMs to AI agents to full orchestras of them running directly on our phones and desktops. Chatbots everywhere. Humanoids on the horizon. The world feels like it's spinning faster than anyone can track. Drones are no longer science fiction; they're reshaping warfare in real time, from Ukraine to the Gulf, amplifying chaos as conflicts escalate with tools we barely understand yet feel powerless to slow. Societal distrust is deepening. People fear massive job losses, bleak prospects for new graduates, and mounting risks around privacy and safety. Many believe governments are hopelessly behind and regulators simply cannot move at the speed of the technology they're supposed to govern. On this, they're not wrong. But here's the truth: AI is already everywhere ... we spread it around, ourselves. Every tap and swipe has been training it for years. Auto-correct, Grammarly, Amazon purchases, tap-to-pay, social feeds, Waze, Netflix — the list is longer than most of us care to admit. We've flooded social media with graduation photos, videos of family vacays, and parents' obituaries; freely, eagerly, in real time. We recycled passwords across hundreds of accounts and clicked "agree" without reading a word. Identity theft and privacy violations? We continue to feed this machine through digital non-hygiene akin to the plague. It's already a buffet for AI-enabled fraudsters that we've served up. Corporations built platforms we loved: convenient, free, endlessly scrolling, and we accepted the trade-off with eyes at least half open. The business model was never hidden. We just chose not to think too hard about it. We spread the J-AI-M ourselves, every tap and swipe, 7-24-365 for years. The workforce consequences are no longer hypothetical. Copywriters, paralegals, customer service agents, and new grads are feeling the ground shift. The economic upside of AI is real, but it's flowing overwhelmingly to shareholders, not displaced workers. We need retraining pipelines, and we needed them yesterday. The promise is equally real! AI is transforming healthcare, will accelerate clean energy, 10X our climate change fight, and take us to other planets. The j-AI-r is open; what's inside is not all bad. There is more real hope than ridiculous hype. Do we push for algorithmic transparency laws? Demand digital literacy in schools and workplaces, not just how to use AI, but how to think critically about it? Support liability frameworks that hold developers accountable for measurable harm? Insist that workforce transition funding be tied to the companies generating billions from automation? Yes, no, what else? We made this J-AI-M. We spread it everywhere. We must be honest enough about our own roles to navigate what comes next ... wisely. 🤔 Of interest @lexfridman @garymarcus @LuizaJarovsky?

    Waze for airports could be cool if it doesn’t exist already. User reported tsa line backups, gate changes etc, baggage claim issues

    @ravikiran_dev7 Google Maps pulls speed and location data from millions of Android phones with location on. When many devices slow down in one stretch it flags a jam right away. They add road sensors and past traffic patterns for better accuracy. Waze data also feeds in since Google owns it. Your phone becomes one data point in the system without naming you. This is how the red zones show up live on the map.

    I remind you these people @ZacksJerryRig had not idea what Lebanon was prior to this **** posting and now everyone is complaining to Apple that this is an issue - APPLE MAPS SUCK - NOBODY USES APPLE MAPS and in Lebanon THEY WOULDN'T USE APPLE MAPS THEY WOULD USE WAZE @grok tell them

    @mrfundman They should use Waze. If there's something wrong with the map, just click report and a volunteer editor that lives in that area will fix it within a few days. That includes speed limit data which Teslas have issues with.

    @CP24 Maybe she's too retarded to drive, the rates are well posted, there is a toll calculator online, even Waze calculates the toll for you... so if with all that you're still 'surprised', then that's a you problem.

    @teslaloosa It’s more so a route planner issue. It would make FSD infinitely better if they use something like google or waze for routing.

    @JayGenXer When using Waze on the 410, it actually comes up on the screen that the area has a high crash history. I hate driving anywhere near Brampton & try to avoid it.

    @IMSAVAGECREATOR @raphousetvgang @raphousetv2 It's actually handicapping society when the average person has to use Google or Waze, just to get home. That is a problem where you need GPD to get home.

    @CoasterK24 so...on our "waze" type theme park app, we can include buttons on rides for users to check if a feature is working or not...like when you check that a car is still on the side of the road like waze etc, and you can report a feature not working etc...cl

    Why is there no Waze for golf courses. Every weekend someone drives out to a course that has punched greens or patchy fairways and finds out when they get there. That information exists. Other golfers who played there that morning know it. It just goes nowhere. TurfTracker is the app that changes that. Crowdsourced conditions, one tap to report when you arrive, rewards for contributing. Know the condition before you commit to the round. This is the iOS concept I have been working on.

    @AnthonyCumia Spot on for the 2nd half. Here’s the problem with the 1st part, “speeding violations” mean cameras where they keep lowering the speed limit after people’s waze app lets them know when there’s a camera and they stop ripping people off

    @vad3rt3sla Pro tip work around: While using FSD, open the Waze app on your phone and leave it on the wireless charger. Won't be automatic slow down but it can give you time to adjust speeds.
