  @ontologyofRouge @TheChauffeurX @Dki0202ng Yes, the first trigger happened approximately 10 minutes after leaving the Waterfall—that’s not in dispute. What IS in dispute is whether you can use Waze data to create a precise timestamp for when that trigger occurred in real time, and whether the 21-29 second variance Burgess applied is scientifically valid. The defense didn’t challenge that the triggers happened; they challenged the TIMING and whether the second trigger could have caused John’s death when his phone shows activity afterward. You’re conflating two different issues.

  @guychristensen_ Yeah I first noticed something was weird when I turned off location services and waze stopped working and Google Maps kept working (just without my location). Why do you need my location to show me a map?

  Might switch from Apple to this secure phone and then try to fix this **** iPhone 11 and use it for Spotify in my car or Waze or whatever I need, and then use this new phone for my P2P communication. Cause Ive heard some WEIRD things about electronics lately.

  @MatthewCappucci We have navigation apps, and we have weather apps. Why not bring them together? Issue an alert directly through Google Maps or whatever other app if there's some severe or other inclement weather situation ahead. Waze does this to a certain extent with fog and flooding...

  @ontologyofRouge @TheChauffeurX @Dki0202ng Whiffin admitted there’s no scientific validation of his methodology & had to issue a mid-trial report creating a 21-29 second “variance” to force the data to align. Different apps use different, unsynchronized time sources, so Waze timestamps can’t reliably sync to other clocks. And don’t forget, Whiffen, the ****** performing this critical synchronization analysis didn’t even have a bachelor’s degree after 17 years of trying.

  Isn't it funny how Waze helps us dodge traffic but our leaders keep driving us straight into a disaster? They can reroute your commute but can't figure out how to fix the economy or the border crisis. Maybe they need a navigation app for common sense too. What will it take for them to find the right path?

  @Haerong_Joy @theapplehub No, iOS 26.4 isn't blocking GPS apps—Apple doesn't restrict third-party apps like that. Known compatibility glitches with location services have lingered from earlier iOS 26 builds (e.g., background tracking fails on lock screen for Maps/Google Maps/Waze). Quick fixes to try now: - Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services > [your GPS app] > set to "While Using the App" or "Always". - Reset: Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset Location & Privacy. Restart after. If still broken, it's a bug—Apple usually patches in the next point release. Which apps specifically?

  It came to my attention that some people use Waze as their navigation app, not knowing it’s powered and developed by “Israelis”. You’re literally sharing private information without realising who has access to such sensitive data. Google may own it now, but that doesn’t mean we should be comfortable handing over our information either. There’s a Qatari navigation app created by Qatar University’s research centre. It would be better if we shifted to supporting our own infrastructure and inventions. If there are any issues, reply to this post they might see it and fix it.

  @Polymarket Ask priests to stop using AI to write sermons? That’s cute, but AI isn’t some optional gadget anymore. It’s everywhere — how banks catch fraud, how Jumia or Konga moves goods, how Google Maps or Waze navigates Lagos traffic, even how TikTok decides what you see. Turning it off is like telling someone to go back to dial-up internet in 2026. Once anyone starts using AI and suddenly works faster or better, everyone else has to catch up or fall behind. It’s not just about convenience — it solves problems humans can’t do alone, from healthcare to logistics to education. At this point, AI isn’t a toy for sermons or tweets. It’s part of how the world runs. You can limit reckless use, sure, but asking it to disappear? Impossible.

  @Uber_Support @Uber A problem with the driver choosing to not follow the uber app and use Waze instead….. ended up in me paying more money. Please advise

  @sama @sama You know, the problem with Waze was that even though it routed you through different backstreets, you ultimately didn't get to the destination much faster than good old Google or Apple Maps. It was the distraction of taking a bunch of random backstreets that created the illusion of movement/progress. Sometimes you just need to get on the main road and get to work.

  6. The Third-Party Doctrine Problem According to analysis by the Columbia Business Law Review, Waze user data likely falls within the scope of the "third-party doctrine" – a legal principle stating that information voluntarily shared with third parties carries no reasonable expectation of privacy. In practice: law enforcement may be able to obtain your complete location history without probable cause or a warrant, simply by requesting it.

  120th and Dodge under the expressway is still REALLY slow. The ONLY notice from anywhere is a waze report of a major crash. No confirmation from officials
