Technically fraud not theft.

All the CIA/NSA ones will be mysteriously not picked up.

Brave search seems marginally better than others.

The handspring visor phone launched in 2000 was arguably the first smartphone.

Windows mobile and palm had existed for years before iphone.

Aren’t those ads personalised to your browsing history?

You think the other arm of the US capitalist party doesn’t do exactly the same?

Maybe a hot take, but allowing capitalist corporations to decide what is “the truth” was always a terrible idea.

Cameras and image recognition are cheaper than LIDAR/RADAR, so Tesla uses it exclusively.
