Bolt is an Uber-ish, app-based taxi-ish company in Europe. Popular here in Portugal. I don't think it has any relation to the US Bolt.

....and to think, I used to hate the idiot tourist groups on Segways in the Seattle tourist district. I was a pedestrian on a really narrow sidewalk and just kept walking when a column of ten of those slobbering lazy morons wanted to pass. Fuck them all with a rusty rake. The scooters are far worse. Maybe a monkeypox-laden pitchfork for them.

Submission + - CBP can attack your Smartphone... with your Car
ytene writes: As reported by The Intercept, U.S. Customs and Border Protection have just spent $456,063 for a package of technology specifically designed to access smartphone data via a motor vehicle. From the article:-
"...part of the draw of vacuuming data out of cars is that so many drivers are oblivious to the fact that their cars are generating so much data in the first place, often including extremely sensitive information inadvertently synced from smartphones."
This data can include “Recent destinations, favorite locations, call logs, contact lists, SMS messages, emails, pictures, videos, social media feeds, and the navigation history of everywhere the vehicle has been, when and where a vehicle’s lights are turned on, and which doors are opened and closed at specific locations” as well as “gear shifts, odometer reads, ignition cycles, speed logs, and more. This car-based surveillance, in other words, goes many miles beyond the car itself."
Perhaps the most remarkable claim, however, was, “We had a Ford Explorer we pulled the system out, and we recovered 70 phones that had been connected to it. All of their call logs, their contacts and their SMS.”
Mohammad Tajsar, an attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), is quoted as saying, “Whenever we have surveillance technology that’s deeply invasive, we are disturbed,” he said. “When it’s in the hands of an agency that’s consistently refused any kind of attempt at basic accountability, reform, or oversight, then it’s Defcon 1.”

People feeble enough to run the Facebook app can at least do one more clicky-click to allow Lord Z to cash in on their ignorance. If you -must- use FB on your mobile, run it in a browser. The app is a fukkin' disaster.
