No. It's more of a sarcastic question mark. Because I already described how you can do it. That or you can't read worth a damn.

Lets all set up spam bots on twilio and have them robocall twilio call centers and execs. I bet they would figure something out right quick.

Just a note, malware can be a source of robocalls. Make sure your work computers are clean!

Reply to Banning TikTok Won’t Do Much Good by Witty-Village-2503
I would very much like to see this go to trial. Not specifically about tiktok, but it might start to shead some light data tracking and privacy by apps in general.

The spyware/political part of the subject is agreeable, the mental health part is laughable and naive.
But even then, there are so many Chinese apps that have the same data collection capabilities. Tencent games probably rake in more users than TikTok could ever hope for. PUBG, Call of Duty, League of Legends... these aren't small time indies.

It’s not twilio, it’s abusive customers. I’m not sure how twilio is supposed to even do anything about it. How do they know the numbers being called are random robocall spam

Uninstalled FB and Messenger almost 10 years ago. It's liberating

Looks like a 2 pin Molex power connector.
You might want the female terminal version, though.

I’m tired of hearing about Meta when there are so many companies doing way worse shit. Meta is in a chokehold right now and is so closely observed because of the actual past fuckups that they can’t really get away with much. People love to just glom onto Meta and use it as a scapegoat but holy shit TikTok ACTUALLY steals your data and no one cares. If meta was doing that today people would lose their shit, but no one cares about TikTok? Or how poorly Apple treats their factory workers? I would love to actually rip apart some of these other companies. Meta is like a hornet with its wings cut off. Boring and old.

Reply to Google mobility data shows San Francisco metro area led the nation in avoiding the office in 2022 by marketrent
I would gladly take the train in to SF from Santa Clara, but it takes an hour longer than driving and is hella expensive. And I don’t want to drive in rush hour traffic to SF.
The Bay Area is missing some really basic infrastructure.

A Little disturbing. I use a EA charging station 10 minutes from my house. Never had issues other than the fact I never could get 150 kw charge. Might be good I never did.
