🔊 Researchers have demonstrated InjectEave, an electromagnetic attack that can recover intelligible audio from wired and wireless headphones up to 30 meters away—even through walls. The technique may also expose smart-home activity and phone conversations. 🛡️ #Cybersecurity #Privacy #Infosec https://cyberinsider.com/new-attack-eavesdrops-on-headphone-audio-from-30-meters-away/ #Security #Surveillance

@riverpunk @tinker @jerry I agree, except that we also need better and more permanent legal conditions imposed to make future Flock-type deals impossible.

🎬 So, you thought your TV was just for Netflix binges? Surprise! 🎉 It's actually an undercover agent 🕵️♂️ for ad tech spies, analyzing every pixel. But fear not, a revolutionary #screensaver is here to remind them that the glass belongs to you, the benevolent overlords of screen real estate.

- Bad ethernet cable that shows a connection, but no data can pass through.
In other words, levels of the OSI model *before* it gets to their software.
All kinds of ways to prevent or frustrate LG.
And there much more smarter people than me that have ideas too

1/ Since LG wants to play games and spy on people in their own homes, here are some games you can play with them if you own the network:
- Null routing at the gateway
- Route the TV traffic through another country via a cheap VPS
- Changing QOS (Quality of Service) by cinching down that traffic to 3600 baud speeds
- Sending TCP RST to the TV source ports causing the TV to retry to connect ad infinitum -

Hmm. There has been some rearranging of the flock cameras in my area. I noticed today.
Two of them at one location are now gone. And one has appeared at a local crossroad where there was none before. I think I’ll do a general “audit” of the ones shown in my area and make changes as needed -
The Sneaky Attempt to End Cash
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CZspAptXwQ
The End of Cash | Plain Meaning
On August 7th, 2026, a mostly empty Senate chamber passed a bill that
most Americans have never heard of. There was no recorded vote. Just
silence. And in that silence, something significant happened.The Common Cents Act would end production of the penny permanently.
But buried inside an amendment introduced at 10:53pm by a blockchain
entrepreneur turned senator was something nobody really talked about.
It was a provision that would give the Secretary of the Treasury the
power to eliminate every coin in American circulation. The nickel. The
dime. The quarter. All of it could be gone with nothing but 60 days
notice to Congress.In this episode of Plain Meaning, I break down exactly what happened
that night, who was behind it, and what they stand to gain. I look at
a senator known as the "crypto queen" and another senator who made his
money selling cars, and how they stand to gain from all this. I also
look at the firms behind them and why eliminating physical cash would
make them extraordinarily powerful.I also ask the question nobody in Washington is asking--what happens
when the lights go out and your only form of payment is digital? What
happens when your digital wallet gets hacked? And what does it mean
for every American when a handful of technology firms control the
infrastructure every single transaction in your life must go through?Physical cash is the only form of payment that requires no middleman,
no electricity, no network, and no permission. This episode explains
why that matters--and what you can still do about it.The bill has not yet become law. The House must still vote on the
Senate version. There is still time. But only if people know what is
happening.CHAPTERS:

The Real Reason Behind Online Age Verification Laws
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHZTeEN2HT0
What does online age verification laws actually have to do with the ENABLING of collecting data from children, China's surveillance and censorship laws, and the profits of companies like Facebook, Apple, and Google? A lot more than you think.
In this episode of Plain Meaning, I break down the real agenda behind the push for operating system age verification. From California's Digital Age Assurance Act to federal proposals in Congress, they have come from the same source. I trace who benefits, what laws get quietly gutted in the process, and why the timing lines up suspiciously with China's own digital surveillance rollout.
What you'll learn:
— Why Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Meta all win if these laws pass
— How age verification effectively nullifies existing laws that protect you and your children like COPPA and the Privacy Act of 1974
— What already happened in the UK under the Online Safety Act — and why it matters for America
— The striking parallels between Apple's product rollouts and China's surveillance
— Why this isn't about protecting kids at all but more about removing the remaining barriers SO THEY CAN TRACK THEMThis is Part 1 of the Plain Meaning 12-part Plain Meaning Special Report. Links to all episodes will appear as they're released.
The Real Reason Behind Online Age Verification Laws
The rest are coming soon...California's law takes effect January 2027. There is still time — but not much.

I just hope this doesn't include LG G4...
"LG smart TVs continuously sweep home networks, map secondary devices, and log microphone audio while appearing to be turned off, according to a new 135-minute-long video published by Gamers Nexus (see below).
In more detail, Steve had been working with Level1Techs and independent security researchers. Together, they tested retail LG OLED models including the G5. Network packet captures taken through Wireshark showed the TVs actively scanning the local area network for unrelated hardware, including phones and smartwatches. Apart from internal IP addresses, the sets also gathered the names and signal strengths of neighboring Wi-Fi networks along with location data.
This data collection pool is fed into into LG Ad Solutions (the company’s targeted advertising arm). LG claims they have roughly 216 million smart TV sales globally. On the other hand, the ad division says it has access to 363 million secondary addressable devices in the US alone by tracking other hardware on the same network. The sets also run Automated Content Recognition (ACR). It samples on-screen audio and video into digital fingerprints to log what users watch across inputs. While ACR has been well documented in the past, new testing shows the data collection goes much further than just that."

Not many people come out smelling of roses here - not #Police who didn't check the identities of casualties correctly, nor the lass who was #driving way too fast for the conditions without even a full #licence, or two lads who were following behind the vehicle which crashed and narrowly escaped being charged for encouraging street #racing
Folk in #Yorkshire really need to sort out what is going on with #CarCulture or else they are going keep losing young people this way (ironically its very likely the misidentification happened because the youths in the car were middle class and not previously known to Police!)
Also a warning on how easy it was for Police to get #surveillance info from some #Life360 app on one persons mobile.

📢 We Are Going to Be Okay: A Three Year Anniversary Events Recap
Thank you for three years, and for partying hard with us for two sold out nights of celebration IRL in NYC.

Can you hear your neighbour's LG TV? Because it can hear you.
If the microphone is "off," you have to be closer - but they can still do it.
It's all demonstrated in the documentary. They do this _on camera_.
So "don't plug it in hur hur" doesn't work. It only cuts out one node of _tens of millions_.
This isn't a problem that can be solved by being smarter than everyone else, because even if you _are_ smarter than everyone else, you're still smarter than _everyone else_, and _they're_ all plugging _their_ sets into the network. That is, after all, most likely _why_ they bought a smart TV. To do exactly that.
Like it or not, this requires _collective_ action.

I'm getting too many "hur hur hur don't plug it into the network" responses that miss the point.
That's fine for your set.
It's not fine for all the other tens of millions of sets around you, _which also listen to you_.
These sets spy on every network they can sense, wifi and LAN, including yours to one degree or another if you live next door. They build profiles and geolocate, even if you never owned one, even if you never shared a network with one.
And if you _did_ share a network with one of these sets, they have IDed every network device you have and started building profiles around them.
