"I don't know what's going on here but I'm going to insult the people participating" is super great leadership, destined for success

yes, but where ring doorbells are installed at the decision of individual homeowners, flock cameras are marketed to municipalities as well as private clients, so flock installations are more likely to be taxpayer-funded.
but cops abuse ring camera access every chance they get as well! iot cameras tend to matter less because none of that shit ever works right anyway

people are not being mean enough to this developer or any of the people defending them
also "The way we deliver a message can be more important than the words themselves" is a batshit insane claim; this how you interact with dogs, not people

thunderbolt devices are not usually fixed installations inside the enclosures, same for e.g. eGPUs. the security boundary these days is very much 'late firewire' in style.

The 432 claim is both normal and meaningless. Greg has been flooding the CVE list for years.

super torn on this, because I love my light phone iii
but
I don't like the new developer program thing, what's the point if it's just a smartphone but worse
and
if I'm gonna buy a flip smartphone why not that commodore thing that runs actual linux instead of skinned android
on the other hand
flip light phone looks AMAZING

they always travel with security, but now they need that fact to bein the news so that the administration will tell the police to shoot people who don't like AI datacenters.

If we're going nonmotorized, I need to pick between my Surly Long Haul Trucker or my Surly Disc Trucker...
in the meantime, out of solidarity I will examine the state of the spokes on the R90/6
