This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I hate how much effort is put into property damage but when my house was broken into or when my friends truck was stolen, the police did nothing.
It's also disturbing how hard it is to be anonymous. Crime or not, it gives me the creeps that anyone could probably track me down if they wanted.
The police are here to protect the owner class.
Class traitors
That's how they got Luigi. They protect and serve the rich ass only.
Pretty sure that was supposed to say class, but it still works with the typo
I take my dog for a walk in my neighborhood and walk by no less than 10 different camera setups, and those are the ones I actually notice. Paranoia has led us down the road to a post-privacy society.
Lol ya and all that video footage is owned by the company of those cameras, like Ring aka Amazon. They can access it at anytime and they can even give it to the police.
Edit: there are setups in which you can store your footage on your own drives. However, many people don't know how to set it up so they use out of the box camera + app which stores all the data on the company servers.
And Amazon definitely hasn't ever provided police with any unrestricted access to whatever footage they want!
I've been thinking of getting a camera setup, but all the popular stuff is cloud crap, and the best options seem to be Chinese crap that I wouldn't trust on my network, so I'll need a separate network for them.
It's a pain! Why can't I just get the popular hardware and just disable the stuff I don't want?
It's frustrating that nearly everything is either a security risk, a privacy risk, or a vendor lock-i, and often all three.
Look into ubiquiti stuff. Keep in mind it’s prosumer/near enterprise equipment though, so has a higher cost associated with it.
Thanks for the tip. I have an AP from them, and it works really well. Guess I'll have to look at the rest of their product stack.
Don't think the feds were looking in into either of those things. Musk has a direct FBI line as a homescreen icon.
I have two sets of clothing I have specifically for protesting in simply because my normal attire would definitely single me out and make me easy to identify.
Buy donation clothing. And by that I mean, buy protest clothing that you can easily take off and donate to a homeless person.
These people got caught because someone found their car and thus license plate.
Another had left a fingerprinted bottle that went missing when watching surveillance footage.
And then were able to confirm after finding the same outfit from the surveillance footage.
The lessons to be learned are to not use cars anywhere near the scene, leave no trace, fingerprints or digital evidence, including a phone, and make sure any recognizable clothing is well hidden, or even better thoroughly destroyed.
Oh and don't post anything on social media.
Taking your own car, leaving a bottle with prints at the scene and keeping the clothes worn during the act is just laughably stupid mistakes. I mean, come on guys, have you never watched a detective show!?
Kinda /s, but also not because damn those are stupid, borderline hilarious, mistakes.
The vine diagram between competent and willing to do vandalism is not a large one.
Agreed. I think I could get away with quite a bit, but I'm unwilling to do it. Not because I'm a coward (I am though), but because I find it immoral. But I'm willing to help give tips for those who are "intellectually curious."
The irony of being asked to sign up to a website to be able to read an article about opsec failures
With the current state of things, I expect no less than a public hanging in front of the Capitol building.
Good biking weather lately.
