Benn Jordan did a recent video on his…explorations of Flock cameras. Essentially, they’re easily hackable and really should be an urgent matter of national security.

This looks terrible to use. /c/ergomechkeyboards (or the same on that other website) are where the real ergonomic keyboards are at.

Not surprising in the slightest.

I think the focus of the article is more on using services deliberately rather than pure privacy, and I think the all or nothing approach to thinking of online privacy as you mention detracts from any positive effects of the little things people just starting their journey may try.

Those big companies don’t care about you. Every small step taken toward privacy is beneficial, even if it’s just eliminating one data point at a time. If you make it harder to find your info, they aren’t going to hire a PI to track you down, there are plenty of easier marks to chase.

The one near me got torn down this year…so not a whole lot I guess.

There are quite a lot of fairly good quality IEMs that are really inexpensive these days. Most of Linsoul’s brands come to mind.

Right, if you’re somewhere cold, you can cover up pretty much everything and not be out of place. Now, eating a meal at a restaurant or spending an extended time indoors like that would be a little out of place.

This is the government’s favourite sport. What do you think all the tariff announcements and later withdrawals are doing?

I’m always curious if a non Android OS would work on these devices with multiple displays. I’d imagine likely only the main display would work without a fair bit of tinkering, which diminishes a fair bit of functionality for a device with 1.5 screens.

Former land surveyor. Was definitely counting my paces when I was not surveying.

Background: you’d often try to capture a grid of points, or cross section of a road, for example, at regular intervals. You’d roughly know your normal stride length conversion to metres, so if I were doing a 10m grid, it’d be: shoot a point, walk 11 paces, shoot a point, repeat for hundreds, sometimes thousands of points. It wasn’t long until you would be counting paces when you weren’t actively surveying.

No one could’ve ever seen this coming…

One’s willingness to say, “I don’t know” and a general ability to think critically.

Just today, a friend was yammering on about a situation he clearly had limited information on (Canada Post strike). We’ve aptly described him as confidentially incorrect. Don’t be this person.
