I rec'd another #Betterhelp (by Teladoc) endorsement from #404Media yesterday, all while they warn about data surveillance. No reporting from them on #Teladoc massive health data hoards and who knows what's being done with it.
I've been asking them to stop for 2 YEARS. nothing. ty for joining

#DHS Flew #PredatorDrones Over #LAProtests, Audio Shows
by Joseph Cox, Jun 10, 2025
"The Department of Homeland Security (#DHS) flew two high-powered Predator surveillance drones above the #AntiICEProtests in Los Angeles over the weekend, according to air traffic control (ATC) audio unearthed by an aviation tracking enthusiast then reviewed by #404Media and cross-referenced with flight data.
"The use of Predator drones highlights the extraordinary resources government agencies are putting behind surveilling and responding to the Los Angeles protests, which started after ICE agents raided a Home Depot on Friday. President Trump has since called up 4,000 members of the National Guard, and on Monday ordered more than 700 active duty Marines to the city too.
" 'TROY703, traffic 12 o'clock, 8 miles, opposite direction, another 'TROY' Q-9 at FL230,' one part of the ATC audio says. The official name of these types of #PredatorBDrones, made by a company called #GeneralAtomics, is the #MQ9 Reaper.
"On Monday #404Media reported that all sorts of agencies, from local, to state, to DHS, to the military flew aircraft over the Los Angeles protests. That included a DHS Black Hawk, a California Highway Patrol small aircraft, and two aircraft that took off from nearby March Air Reserve Base."

#Maine’s #RightToRepair law for cars wins with 84 percent of the vote
by Wes Davis, Nov 8, 2023
"The right-to-repair movement gained a significant victory yesterday as a Maine law regarding auto repair rights won over 84 percent public support, according to Ballotpedia’s unofficial tally. As 404 Media reported, the 'Question 4' measure asked if voters want auto manufacturers to enable owners and their preferred mechanics to access their car’s diagnostics systems. Voters said yes.
"Maine follows four states that enacted new right-to-repair laws this year. In #California, a law signed into effect last month now guarantees seven years of parts for #electronics and #appliances.
"Both #Minnesota and #Colorado passed repair laws pertaining largely to #electronics and #FarmEquipment, respectively, as well as exemptions for certain modifications in Colorado and specific product categories in Minnesota, including medical devices and motor vehicles. Neither law’s exceptions were as objectionable to right-to-repair advocates as the New York state law passed last year that exempted entire industries and enterprise products.
"One exclusion in Maine’s law lets carmakers offer a secure portal where owners and independent mechanics can look up how to reset a car’s security features rather than publicizing that information. The law requires that automakers standardize unfettered 'access to the vehicle on-board diagnostic systems of all motor vehicles' for owners and independent mechanics.
There’s more specific language for heavy-duty vehicles, such as a requirement for automakers to sell tools and parts for 2002 vehicles that weigh over 14,000 pounds, and a requirement for a 'motor vehicle telematics system notice' for car buyers to explain how access to the car’s data works.
"Manufacturers would be allowed to require authorization to access diagnostics systems, but only with a standardized procedure approved by a third-party panel of industry representatives from car companies, independent repair shops, aftermarket parts makers, and others.
"The head of consumer rights group #USPIRG’s right to repair project, Nathan Proctor, said to #404Media that people support the right to repair 'because it’s common sense—at least to those who aren’t manufacturers.' Tim Winkeler, who runs VIP Tire and Service in Auburn, Maine, told News Center Maine that the vote will let Maine families 'rely on their local repair shop, who knows them and their vehicle.'"
