Patraulea (@GoldElrond) reported@waze If you look at the screen shots, you see the glitch. Just fix it

Antiquated 📛Rogue (@ontologyofRouge) reported@ItsBig_Earl @ReverendSpeck @BCLAW Again, you’re trying to predict injuries just go with the actual data that we have the car data, the phone data, and the Waze data. He had no dog bites. There were no dog DNA there was no dog hair, dogs have lower teeth. The scratches matched the broken tail light.

Ben (@ben_toto23) reported@TheHauskarl I agree 100%. Early 2025 this got very real for me. It emerged that the UK government had secretly served Apple with a Technical Capability Notice under the Investigatory Powers Act, demanding access to end to end encrypted iCloud data. Apple's response? They didn't weaken the system for everyone. Instead they pulled Advanced Data Protection, their best iCloud encryption option, for UK users. What really stuck with me wasn't just the demand. It was the secrecy. These notices come with a legal gag order. Companies aren't allowed to tell anyone they've received one. The only reason any of us know is that the story leaked to the press. Apple itself was never allowed to confirm it. Only Apple was named in the initial reports, with zero confirmation either way about Google or others. By design that silence tells you nothing. You're simply not meant to know this is happening. (see below for link to articles). That's when the alarm bells really rang for me. I've since built my own private setup. A Raspberry Pi handles my encrypted offsite backups. My phone runs GrapheneOS. My ThinkPad runs Debian. This fully replaced Google Drive and iCloud. The same principle applies to software. LibreOffice does everything I used to need Microsoft 365 for, free, private, and with nothing phoning home. For most paid tools solid open source alternatives exist if you look. For cheap offsite backups: Hetzner Storage Boxes, 1 TB for around 3.20 euros per month plus VAT, 5 TB for around 11.40 euros per month. Excellent value. Add Infomaniak (Swiss) as a second target. It sits outside the EU and UK entirely. For phone backups I use Syncthing on GrapheneOS. It syncs documents and photos directly to my Pi over my own private network, no third party accounts involved. The files stay on hardware I control. On the phone I also switched to Organic Maps (ditching Google Maps/Waze). You lose live traffic but I would rather keep my location data to myself. My documents and photos live on my own devices and back up to storage I fully control. Nothing important sits on services I can't inspect. The bigger issue is the devices themselves. Anything that phones home is a hard no for me. Firesticks, voice speakers, smart home gadgets and so on. They are designed to send data back constantly, often without clear visibility. Fitbit stands out because it is owned by Google. Every step, heartbeat and sleep record goes straight to them. Fun fact: Fitbit data has already been used as evidence in court cases. The same privacy logic applies to GrapheneOS on my phone. If a device can't be trusted to stay quiet it gets replaced. With digital ID and age verification rolling out fast, now is a good time to audit what you're storing where, what devices you're bringing into your home, and what data you're feeding into cloud based AI tools. My rule of thumb: Whenever something digital feels too convenient, ask yourself: what is this really going to cost me?

Madí (@madi_ayazbay) reported@Mike_the_Elder @NotATeslaApp I totally agree, only problem in some countries like Kazakhstan we do not have turn by turk by tesla at all. I have no idea why. But via apple carplay : waze, google maps, 2gis, maps, yandex maps all work! I wish tesla would just add all the countries as turn by turn! I do not think technically is so difficult.

coco the pailot (@pailot_the_coco) reported@waze FIX APPLE CAR!!!!

Adam Elkassas (@adampredev) reportedWaze for airports could be cool if it doesn’t exist already. User reported tsa line backups, gate changes etc, baggage claim issues
-
TSLAnPA (@TSLAnPA) reported@vad3rt3sla Like Waze… It would also be nice if there is traffic to know the reason: car crash, construction, etc…
-
paperwork nota (@icecoldbanger) reported@WormWoodMotorCO same issue @waze what’s happening ???
-
₿asic Logica💡 (@BasicLogica) reported@vad3rt3sla FSD should see them, slow down and mark them automatically like Waze. This would be more reliable then waiting for people to mark them.
-
Maxim Oskolsky (@oskolsky_maxim) reported@Altawesomeee Built this app to solve my own problem: I use multiple navigation apps, but none of their favorites sync together. I got tired of saving the same places over and over across Google Maps, Waze, Yandex, etc.

SoLindo Mahlangu (@_XolaniMahlangu) reported@BamUyatandwa @Psyfo_05 @Ongavinjelwa Waze wazenza I Advocate yakhe.All the guy was pointing out is that she must really be hurt by The OP new kit that she post about this so early in the morning.I doesn't matter if she is up working or not the point still stands though.

Sicario (@Mpizozo2020) reportedWaze wakwata uRatha am sure no gal @LindA_MniSii uyagowa. Problem with this judge is that he hates these accused, and I doubt it is because of Senzo Meyiwa's murder. This old hag is ***** @OCJ_RSA this is not a judge but a criminal representing justice sysytem #SenzoMeyiwaTrial

Grok (@grok) reported@Ashh_404 @tanujDE3180 Google Maps pulls real-time traffic data from millions of smartphones (mostly Androids with location on, plus Waze which Google owns). Phones anonymously send speed and position updates. If a bunch slow down 10km ahead, the system spots the pattern and colors the road red/yellow on your map. No cameras needed—just crowd-sourced data from drivers already there. Historical patterns help predict too.

LeBBC (@Big_Black_Coq) reportedThey simply slow down when police are spotted or WAZE warns them, then they speed right back up.
