> Sure some creeps will use them and with that in mind Apple has the possible ability to solve that privacy issue as they are a privacy company (all pics and vids taken thru APple glasses faces not in your network are randomize/anonymized).
This is it's own distopian nightmare. No one exists in the world but those you've asserted you've met. What if you meet someone who was in the background of a picture from childhood? Can you never take your pictures from apple?
Have you ever gone fishing? Did you catch all the fish?
Often it is more impactful to address one major/tangible player in a particular space than it would be to "boil the ocean" and ensure that we are capturing every possible player/transgressor. I agree that some of the video was overly breathless, but if that's what wakes people up to the dangers of unsecured cameras/devices then so be it.
That people consolidated their business atop VMware's hypervisor, got screwed by Broadcom, and as a result are moving everything to Nutanix (from whom they need to buy the hypervisor, the compute stack, the storage stack, etc.) is insane to me.
Its a data gathering system. it takes pictures of everything that goes past it so that IF something happens, cops can search back through the system to see if/when a suspect went past that sensor. This sort of thing should be turned off regardless. I don't want my movements recorded and tracked all the time in the off chance someone might do something later. This ICE situation is the perfect example of why these actively passive systems are a threat.
Campaign contributions are being used for paying down the expenses of the campaign? What an outrage!!!!!!
Just imagine if those funds had instead been used to give the candidate's family members cushy six figure "jobs", or if one of their PACs was burning 5 million dollars a month on the candidate's private legal fees [1] to the tune of well over 100 million dollars in aggregate [2]. That would be truly beyond the pale and I am certain that hard working responsible fiscally conservative persons would be outraged at such naked corruption.
And it would be significantly worse if those aggressive donation emails were designed to systematically trick people into weekly recurring donations when they were only intending to make a one time contribution [3]. Shenanigans indeed!
Real talk though, of the two major parties in the US: one party is significantly flawed, the other has installed the most obviously unfit excuse for a human as president and is using every ounce of power that it can seize to make that man an unlimited king. He has deployed the military on US soil in peacetime to disappear the homeless; has prioritized sending masked goons onto the streets to snatch men, women, children, regardless if they are elderly or the infirm, at which point they are forced into concentration camps and/or deported to some foreign gulag without an ounce of due process. The economy is in free fall for regular people, the country's top infectious disease experts are being railroaded for having the audacity of knowing things, our crown jewel research infrastructure is being decimated at the same time that the government is taking large ownership stakes in public companies.
If a person can't see the forest for the trees here then the whole idea of America was completely lost on them from the jump. Regardless we're all going to miss it when it's gone.
