  • It’s tempting to opt for telematics/black box insurance because of the initial cheaper prices but the privacy violations and potential downsides make it not worth it.

    You can be the best defensive driver in the world but sometimes you’re just going to have to brake hard to avoid an object that may jump on you, dinging your driving score and raising your premiums.

    Contrary to what this post’s image says, I’m reading online that these apps aren’t perfect at differentiating between who’s a driver and who’s a passenger.

    Have fun fighting with your insurance to get them to remove anything from your record.

    Last week a squirrel decided it didn’t want to live anymore and jumped into my way while I was driving. It was on an empty slow street at night so I was safely able brake hard to avoid killing the poor thing. If I had spyware insurance they would’ve dinged me for it.

    Java is quite popular online due to all the mods and the videos people upload to YouTube using those mods, but I believe in terms of number of users, Bedrock outscores it quite a bit. The barrier to entry is lower – $7 on iOS/Android and most people have phones.
















  • I used to think the same, until it happened to me twice…

    I got playful groans both times for being the only person in a class group with an Android. I have an iPad so it ended up being a non-issue.

    Heck, I was talking to a guy with a Pixel 7 who said the woman he was dating thought it was a red flag. She’s 28.

    I’m not saying it should exist, but stuff like this very much affects people whether we like it or not and pretending like it’s a non-issue doesn’t help them.
