  1. Why does every single Security Camera manufacturer have to be an EvilCorp now? I tried looking for a BASIC record-to-MicroSD non-Wifi camera to sit in my front window to monitor my garden, could I find a single one that worked? Nope!

    Every single brand I tested (Swann being the most recent) required the user to give their corporation a HUGE amount of personal information first before you could even access your camera,.. open access to location, provide email address, provide exact address, verify email address, allow the app to open location, allow the app to send notifications, allow the app access to your router user and password, allow the app this that and the other... before it'd even let you get to the camera's settings!! The basic settings page is LOCKED underneath all of this data harvesting crap, by-design you cannot access it before surrendering all of this information to them, putting in a MicroSD does nothing, you have to enable recording to it from the settings page or it just sits there doing nothing..

    You shouldn't have to surrender your security and privacy in order to set up a security camera..

    So, I've ended up extensively researching a 'DashCam' that I'm going to mod and repurpose into the perfect home security camera, instead.

    No wifi, no contracts, no huge amount of personal information sold to *third-parties*, no *cloud storage*, no location access, no access to my router, no aluminum-siding made from hens teeth and unicorn farts.. just exactly what I wanted and exactly what I need; 24/7 monitoring of my garden area loop-recorded to MicroSD.

  11. Staying at a vacation rental with my family, and I've encountered a new kind of service. "Vacation Rental WiFi Marketing" provided by stayfi.com/

    I gave them a fake name and a burner email, but sheesh what a racket. I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to fingerprint anyone during a few days stay regardless 😬

    I'm sure the data harvested is worth way more to the company than to the rental provider $$$

    Guess I'll go offline and read a book instead.

  21. Hook, hold, harvest and hide: Meta’s alleged strategy laid out in first week of landmark trial

    "Meta’s business can be boiled down to four words that begin with the letter H: hook, hold, harvest, hide, according to a lawyer who is prosecuting the world’s largest social media company.

    The owner of Facebook and Instagram “hooks” in users, “holds” them on its platforms for as long as possible, “harvests” their data and then “hides” the truth from the public, she argued.

    “Meta’s business model worked especially well for kids,” said Megan O’Neill, a lawyer for the state of California.

    Her accusation opened the blockbuster trial against the US tech company on Tuesday in Oakland, California, just north of Meta’s headquarters in Silicon Valley. California has joined 28 other US states in suing the £1tn ($1.36tn) company for allegedly designing addictive products that lead to children being harmed."
