During covid, my company was deemed essential. (Non-healthcare) They would send a email alerting people to the fact that someone had had covid in the building, but refused to name that individual due to it "being a HIPAA violation."

It was so frustrating. I'm like, that's not how that works.

It's still free for them. In their mind, that's all that counts.

I'm pretty sure ISIS took responsibility for it, like a day after it happened.

Honestly, I have no idea why any agency in the us feels the need to confirm something that someone else has already owned up to. Seems redundant.

Well, the hidden door blew out.

Can't tell you how often I get a reminder to keep my eyes on the road, just because I repositioned my head, or tilted it down to stretch my neck. My eyes are on the road damn it. Now my car will turn off in the middle of the highway if i get a stiff neck...great.

Also, I had no idea subaru did this. I saw a recent article that mentioned a few big named car brands, and subaru wasnt included, so, i was naively hopefull. Plus, I realize im being recorded anyways, in an infinate amount of ways, but i didnt realize the car was in on it too. Wow, that sucks. I need to pay better attention, no pun intended.

This is an issue at Atlanta's airport as well.

it doesn’t come at anyone’s expense’.

Seriously?

You have a point. I sometimes definitely forget to consider the flip side of the coin.

Not at all. Back to that educating the public bit.

I'm not a tech wiz, but I do know my way around basic functions of a computer. If i have no* idea how it works or what it's capable of, how are people who know next to nothing supposed to figure it out?

Well, shit. This explains a lot. But also, what chucklehead thought that was a good idea.

I know, now that you mention it, I vaguely remember something about how they didn't think it should be kept only by some corps or something. Which is commendable but at the same time, ugh.

I have no problem with everyone being able to use it ,but there should have been an introductory period, if nothing else. Jeeze.

Whelp, fake everything here we...are.
