    Exactly this. And I'm pretty sure the person that pointed this out was fired.

    Seems like a serious data privacy concern to me. Are customers actually able to opt out of Amazon Sidewalk? Or is it the case that Amazon will continue to override customer setting…

    Do we get to sue Amazon when we discover they've lied (again)?

    Excellent news. I hope the US quickly follows suit and shuts their abhorrent labor practices down.

    What's astonishing to me is that the FBI is incapable of making their own solution using OpenCV. Object detection is practically off the shelf at this point. Surely people hired to…

    nope. It's the same 2020 model, wrapped in another label. Just like they do all their other failed offerings... Rename and resell. Like a used car salesman.

    I wonder if this is also to drown out smaller vendors who rely on the post office for shipping.

    I personally enjoy the number of times Amazon's PR has to call out the tens of thousands of complaints from tech and non-tech employees as "not representative of the experience of …
