  • If you know Flock, most of their cheap cameras go down all by themselves. Even when they’re operating as intended, their capture rates are under 70%, which is why you usually find them in pairs monitoring the same direction of traffic. That dinky solar panel can barely power them through the night so most of their cameras are dead in the early morning hours.

    The only way Flock stays in business is by literally giving their cameras away by illegally installing them in municipalities and waiting for them to be ordered removed. You’d probably be doing most cities a favor by taking them down.









  • I recommend Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC, which is supported until 2032 and has never required me to update my fucking clock or calculator, never crashed my SSD, and never randomly encrypted my hard drive and lost the recovery keys! And, there’s no OneDrive, Copilot, Recall, Cortana, Clippy, or whatever else Microsoft’s cocaine addled executives have come up with this week to FUCK us.

    Since thats the standard for operating systems we’re working with now, I’d say this one is pretty good!

    Here’s how you can purchase your copy today!





  • “You want some of this?” Mr. Dousten yelled, according to the affidavit…

    …Mr. Dousten then fired a single shot that hit Ms. Hermosillo’s car, breaking the window of the front passenger seat where she was sitting, and striking her in the face, it said.

    He “fired a shot in a random direction,” the police said in an email obtained on Wednesday. “Tragically, that bullet struck a passenger in an uninvolved vehicle.”

    …Ms. Hermosillo’s partner drove her to the hospital, where she was pronounced dead, the police said.”

    This is unbelievably sad. Can you imagine what her partner must have gone through? They’ll be haunted by this for the rest of their life. Her family is crushed. She was 27.

    How is it that someone so out of control of their emotions that they carry a loaded gun and wave it carelessly during traffic confrontations is able to access firearms?







  • Google, Apple, and Microsoft are all doing the same thing with their operating systems. Soon, everything you do on your device will be recorded, analyzed, compiled, and cross-referenced. All of it ready to be used against you in advertisements, commerce, and a court of law.

    If you think age checks are bad now, wait until it’s enforceably illegal to even look at pornography on your device. Or, maybe you receive a knock at your door for a missed period, or some questionable searches while pregnant? Higher ride app pricing for a low phone battery? Now your digital credit score determines your eligibility and cost for a ride. Think your VPN will hide that pirated movie or your location? Who needs to bypass encryption when your entire screen is analyzed by a hardware driven AI classification system in real-time.

    Advertisers, authoritarians, media execs, and tech bros are vibrating so hard that they’re starting to glow. This is the real AI revolution into which they have sunk so much money. Do you think they’re just going to accept that they won’t get a return on their investment because you think you have a right to privacy?

    How long will we even have access to hardware and software that doesn’t contain baked-in content analysis?
