100% destroy that potato. It's survived 7 years because that is absolutely a horcrux.

Yep, this is exactly the controversy I was referring to from two years ago. It only applies if you choose to upload video to their cloud, not your local storage hub.

If you read more about this, you'll find that the vulnerability has been sensationalized by Gizmodo. A malicious actor would have to go to great lengths to obtain a very long hash string and then append that to a URL to get access to the unencrypted content. That hash string itself is not accessible, so it is highly unlikely.

With that being said, I wouldn't recommend putting a security camera of any brand inside your home and pointing it somewhere you can't risk being seen on the off chance of a breach, but how many people are really looking to do that anyway?

I agree that this is a meme. It's not a meme with widespread meaning yet, but I think a chip on the forehead, the obvious young age of the boy, and his expression of mixed happiness/fear is enough to convey something about the state of society that calls for nervous laughter.

Eufy, by Anker, is a great choice imo. They keep data local by default, no subscription required. Very minor record of controversies.

I 100% agree with you.

I do, of course. I even do my hair. I didn't mean to imply that one should not care about it hygienically, just for your own health and personal self image.

I just don't understand the urge to thrust gender identity onto hair style and then argue about what that means to the polity online.

Why do people put so much energy into projecting identity politics on a superfluous detail like hair? Who cares? It's all just a vanity concern, selfishly obsessed with what others think about how you look.

Does your hair make you have some intrinsic identity to others that you are or are not going for? Fuck you, I don't care.

Do you authentically care, yourself?

Maybe you care about the politics - I can understand that. There is legitimate fear around legislating serious, dangerous things to your identity (not hair). Why the fuck are you spending your time and energy on hair???

Two party consent laws in California come down to a "reasonable expectation of privacy" and that has been worked out in the legal system over time to be pretty much any place with an open door or window, even a conference room inside a private business is fair game if the door is open to the hallway.

I'd recommend trying Ollama+OpenCode to DIY removals. It can at least help find the sites and their removal request pages, but then you'd need to solve captchas and do the requests.

Some of these PII removal companies go to great lengths to request removals on your behalf without providing ANY additional information that the data broker does not already have.

The problem is that nobody can tell which PII removal companies act responsibly and which ones are merely data brokers themselves.

Even the ones trying their best to not distribute more information about you need only to screw that up once, and that single incident of human error leads to a neverending cycle of leaks between downstream data brokers.

It's the perfect industry for local AI agents to replace, but the only way to know you're properly requesting removals without making matters worse is to do it yourself.

Emotions are each examples of a continuum. You can be any level of sad or happy or angry, etc.

I'm not sure the distinction of spectrum from continuum is useful for understanding the world though. It's just conversationally helpful.

Perhaps everything is a continuum but we just manufacture a spectrum so we can classify people for our own ease of conversation.

Just get the dates right, down to the month. Beyond that, you can make just about everything else up and since most employers don't want to foot the bill for actual due diligence, your interview performance is what matters next-most.

Change your job titles to whatever fits the job you're aiming to get now(remember you'll actually need to interview for and do the job if you get it, so consider inflating only about 1 level of seniority upward).

You can add unverifiable resume items to explain gaps, such as a side gig or volunteer experience or family event.

You can make up 90% of the bullet points under each experience item too, which will increase net job search performance by 28% on average and 122% of hiring managers won't read them or will read them and not ask about them anyway.

If you think companies are going to keep your data and blacklist you, then you just need to formally request your complete PII file under applicable data privacy laws such as GDPR or CCPA. If they did keep your data, the same laws can be used to make them delete it entirely (assuming you're not also their customer, in which case they'll have permissible reasons to keep it until you discontinue your subscription).

Oh, if this is just about what people want and not about shelter for the unhoused, then that really changes things. I may have misunderstood, as that's a totally different spirit behind the bill.

If that's the case, then it just comes down to which group of people have the political power to mandate what they want.

The central valley does have some of the highest rates of housing expansion in the country though, so I wouldn't count it out. There's a lot of opportunity there, it's just not directly on the ocean.
