Gizmodo: Flock Cameras Got the Wrong License Plate 71% of the Time in California City. “The analysis focused on a two-year period between 2023 and 2024, in which Roseville PD received 1,427 alerts from Flock cameras…. In 71% of cases that generated an alert related to vehicles that were stolen or used in a felony, the system misread the license plate, seemingly producing false positives.”

This headline would benefit from the addition of the word "Billion". Errors of the order of 10^9 are generally regarded as significant, even for cosmology.
Not the first time I've seen obvious errors on this website.
I think my neighbour's horse muck pile will produce that level of emissions!

Ah, yes, the thrilling saga of encryption: where #tech wizards and #policy wonks gather to rehash the same "Going Dark" #debate from yesteryear, now with 100% more #JavaScript #errors. 🙄 Apparently, the only thing going dark is your #browser when you try to access the article. 🔒🔍

Building customer #relationships through tech support didn't quite go as planned. Instead of helping users, they sent them into #Cloudflare purgatory, where #cookies are the real relationship glue 🍪🔒. Apparently, the key to customer service is a healthy serving of "you've been blocked!" 🙃🚫.

This a databending job with vertical bars of inverted colors added in GIMP, inspired by a GIF image I saw of a DOS virus that basically causes the command prompt to glitch out and draw vertical bars across the screen.

I stand with #NHS midwives
Across our NHS, #midwives are routinely working shifts without rest breaks.
- Many are signed up to opt out of the #Working Time #Regulations, not freely, but because speaking up feels impossible.
- #Clinical #errors linked to #fatigue are not rare #accidents, they are what happens when a system asks too much of too few people for too long.
