  A Perture Of Truth (@FakeNewsRuse) reported 42 seconds ago

  @ontologyofRouge @TheChauffeurX @Dki0202ng Whiffin admitted there’s no scientific validation of his methodology & had to issue a mid-trial report creating a 21-29 second “variance” to force the data to align. Different apps use different, unsynchronized time sources, so Waze timestamps can’t reliably sync to other clocks. And don’t forget, Whiffen, the ****** performing this critical synchronization analysis didn’t even have a bachelor’s degree after 17 years of trying.

  @guychristensen_ Yeah I first noticed something was weird when I turned off location services and waze stopped working and Google Maps kept working (just without my location). Why do you need my location to show me a map?

  @Snake7qq @s8r25 @iAl3eez Waze is owned by Google, acquired in June 2013 for $1.3 billion. Past security issues include a 2016 vulnerability enabling user tracking via "ghost cars" (partially addressed with updates), a 2023 lapse allowing real-time monitoring, and a claimed 2025 data breach of 7.6 million records with usernames and GPS locations.

  @AsidanyaMiracle Stop using Google map, it will take you straight into problem rather use Waze. It will find all the nearest and hassle free route for you.

  @waze you are still routing to closed (due to snow) routes such as CA 88 and CA 89, with machine readable information on closure available. Please fix

  @North_Resists @0liviajulianna Waze is Chinese and had previous issues. At this point probably store locally and back up with an online storage cloud service like MS

  Might switch from Apple to this secure phone and then try to fix this **** iPhone 11 and use it for Spotify in my car or Waze or whatever I need, and then use this new phone for my P2P communication. Cause Ive heard some WEIRD things about electronics lately.

  @ProjVictoria @undefinedhandle The Hume but also off the Hume. Things like Warrigal Road, East Boundary and more. I just get constant Waze alerts of upcoming potholes. I didn't have the same issue a few years ago so not sure what's going on.

  6. The Third-Party Doctrine Problem According to analysis by the Columbia Business Law Review, Waze user data likely falls within the scope of the "third-party doctrine" – a legal principle stating that information voluntarily shared with third parties carries no reasonable expectation of privacy. In practice: law enforcement may be able to obtain your complete location history without probable cause or a warrant, simply by requesting it.

  @markgurman Good thing I quit using @apple maps a few months ago since they can’t figure out how to fix the storage glitch for CarPlay users. @waze it is for the long-term!

  JbySky told y’all… (@jbysky912) reported 15 minutes ago

  @james_xond Nope. Don’t have to because I don’t speed in town. On the interstate I always have Waze on. That amazing bit of Israeli tech lets other users post where the police are so you can slow down if needed.

  Non-Linear (@nonlinear_james) reported 17 minutes ago

  @HermanBovens @Teslarati Tesla uses Google Maps which uses Waze community edits on it. Tesla throwing out google maps probably isn't in the cards. Maybe using Tesla's own hyper accurate maps as overlays to Google, and maybe FSD could contribute road closures etc. (and use them from Waze to fix some stuff I've recently scene!)

  Write Girl Problems (@WriteGrlProbs) reported 17 minutes ago

  I don’t need GPS to find my way to work, but I usually have it on just in case there’s any issues I would need to route around. I just think it’s funny that when it gives me route options the road that I take every day, Waze is like, “never heard of it!”

  @waze having issues with my app on iPhone. Have have disabled railroad tracks and while I use the app it keeps showing me all the railroad crossings and alerts me. How do I get rid of this or do I need to get a new app? Thanks

  The map box issue isn’t the primary issue, it’s the Waze Data API getting shut down, I have no way to obtain that data legally

  Ra🔻🇶🇦 (@ra_rants) reported 23 minutes ago

  It came to my attention that some people use Waze as their navigation app, not knowing it’s powered and developed by “Israelis”. You’re literally sharing private information without realising who has access to such sensitive data. Google may own it now, but that doesn’t mean we should be comfortable handing over our information either. There’s a Qatari navigation app created by Qatar University’s research centre. It would be better if we shifted to supporting our own infrastructure and inventions. If there are any issues, reply to this post they might see it and fix it.

  @ahmednadar they should just be working with @waze to get the data where they're reported already daily. Work smarter not harder.

  BrazilLife (@BrazilLife75) reported 28 minutes ago

  @killedbygoogle As a Waze user. I still would be with Waze. The problem Google hasn’t solved is the speed limits say 55 in 25 often. I was close to going with them till I saw speed limits drastically off

  Jordan Regan (@J_bean4) reported 29 minutes ago

  @SawyerMerritt @DirtyTesLa Agreed even without FSD this seems to be a Tesla Nav issue, constantly run into it not knowing closed roads though they’ve been closed for days for construction. Should switch to Waze as an app and not, is it google they license?

  @MarcherReborn I can see on Waze that town is jammed. M40 crash is usually the problem but M40 is totally clear.

  120th and Dodge under the expressway is still REALLY slow. The ONLY notice from anywhere is a waze report of a major crash. No confirmation from officials

  MichaelAdamson (@FalconerAdamson) reported 40 minutes ago

  @PierrePoilievre This is the completely wrong thing to do with Canadian resources we're selling it cheap to people who are gonna use it in Waze that will eventually compete with us that's stupid. We should use our oil to develop our own industries and infrastructure. We need a higher level of intellectual activity in policy strategy. Exporting our oil to invade oncoming limitations due to hemisphere safety issues is retarded.

  new here? here's what GoodRunss actually is: THE PROBLEM: you drive to the court. it's packed. you leave. wasted trip. happens 40M times/day. THE SOLUTION: real players report real conditions. you see crowding before you go. find games. avoid waste. play more. the Waze of sports.

  Meadow Ellis (@notameadow) reported 52 minutes ago

  And another thing, since I am ranting, and with regards to the Waze tweet. When I started cooking semi-professionally (three years ago), the idea of a homemade pasta sounded exciting. And it was. I almost bought a machine for all kinds of Italian oddities. I made it a few times. Very good. Completely pointless. When it comes to pasta, there are a few Italian brands that are *good*. They have been around and, yes, their pasta is not as good as homemade. Who cares. I may spend hours making, drying, cooking, and end up with a product that is maginally better than a good-branded one. If at all. And I would have wasted this time on making things that actually matter. Even a simple cacio e pepe is a skill that cannot be replaced with a store-bought jar. I can make pasta. All kinds of shapes. No one cares. So I focused on making better cacio e pepe. That is coding, and that is also my speciality: hardware security. I excel at this, but so does everyone else at my previous level. No one cares. Anyone can "dump the firmware". No secret with FTDI, even Saleale or derivates. Seven million blog posts about it. "Find three pads, get root." And there comes AI, which does all that anyway. I had to become better, so I did. I use AI for boring tasks because I cannot be bothered but also to know where I excel, where AI cannot go. I know why, I know how, I know how to direct my mechanical minion. And I will use it as my brain. And that is also coding. For my second job I need to make some hardware interface between X and Y. I used CharGPT to discuss needs, platforms, design considerations. I will use it to flesh out Alpha. Then I will ask it to make a prompt to Claude Code, and the latter will just do it, deal with ***, toolchains, all that. It will work. You know C and others and can write it efficiently? I am glad. I know C and others to fix code AI throws, and direct it. And I will have it ready in a fraction of a time. I can brag that I know .asm for several uCs, startink from 68k, 8051s, up to modern era. So what. No one cares. No one benefits. No one gets paid. I am not bragging about my skills; I am highlighting the issue with "AI will take my job" that I have realised seeing the Waze tweet. AI has already taken your job. I have no idea how to write .py, mostly because I am lazy. Now I do not have to. You do? Better that Claude? Maybe. I can make a better pasta than one can buy in-store. But I will make a better dinner.

  @Google Why don’t you fix the expected driving time? Waze is killing maps in accuracy. Had to stop using maps.

  This dude just needs to use Waze and all his problems would be fixed. Minus rolling a car over because of speeding.
