tldr: The so-called “Kia Challenge” on the social media platform has led to hundreds of car thefts nationwide, including at least 14 reported crashes and eight fatalities, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Thieves known as “the Kia Boyz” would post instructional videos about how to bypass the vehicles’ security system using tools as simple as a USB cable.
The thefts are reportedly easy to pull off because many 2015-2019 Hyundai and Kia vehicles lack electronic immobilizers that prevent thieves from simply breaking in and bypassing the ignition. The feature is standard equipment on nearly all vehicles from the same period made by other manufacturers.
Hyundai and its subsidiary Kia are offering to update the “theft alarm software logic” to extend the length of the alarm sound from 30 seconds to one minute. The vehicles will also be updated to require a key in the ignition switch to turn the vehicle on.
Previously, Hyundai was charging owners at least $170 for security kits to fix the issue.
tldr: Privacy Sandbox, on Chrome and Android, tracks users by interest groups rather than individually, which Google claims is a privacy improvement. Android will soon build an advertising profile of you, and the user interface will let you block "interests" you don't want to see ads for.
Google makes about 80 percent of its revenue from advertising, so forcing ads into its browser and OS is one of the few things the company does that will affect its bottom line.
Google claims it will one day block third-party tracking cookies in Chrome once the system rolls out. On Android.
Shame that wars are still a thing in the 21st century, it seems that people never learn from history.
That was fast

Yeah, uBlock Origin is a lifesaver
I think red will be reserved for Mainchan staff.
Until now, no one.
The site isn't big enough to require more than 1 admin

Development of what?
Do you mean, how does he find time between development and admin tasks?
It's always hard at the beginning but once the site starts growing, he would probably hire more devs or admins
