Comment on: It’s now illegal in Norway to not label retouched photos on social media - i-D
Logically >What about if you apply a filter? You modified (retouched) the photo, The photo is not what the camera saved. > What if ou take a photo with a physical filter on? You did not retouch the photo. The photo is what the camera saved.

Why not just make Instagram illegal?

Comment on: Any good alternatives to Ubiquiti?
I don't have issues with their hardware and whatnot since I do not use the cloud features. I'm just worried they won't exist much longer :\ If I find anything, I'll reply to ya again to let you know what I found, but so far yeah, I haven't found anything yet either.

Comment on: Kids can't use computers... and this is why it should worry you.
Why does a site serving static content and not taking any data submissions need an ssl certificate to begin with? It says at the bottom it's powered by Pelican which is a static site generator, so it's flat non-dynamic pages and isn't taking submissions. There's no real point to ssl in this case. If you're worried about MITM tampering, that's a different story.

The real question is did anyone try to login using that as the password just in case?

Comment on: Alternative Linux Laptops
My issue with System76 specifically is the touchpad. Any laptop that has a touchpad without 2 discrete buttons is an automatic no-go for me. Oddly enough HP and Dell are the two that seem to still keep buttons with the touchpad on the business models. The consumer ones are shit though.

Comment on: Doorbell Cameras Like Ring Give Early Warning of Police Searches, FBI Warned
I think you're misunderstanding what I'm saying. Interfering with radio (including wifi) is a federal offense. If police, swat, whatever, at the state level use that in stings, arrests, etc, then the defendants in those case need only appeal it up to federal court, and the states will be forced to admit to committing federal crimes to make the arrests. I don't know where you got cop hatred by me saying using jammers will screw over their case.

>You're talking about letting people that can't tell the difference between a medical condition and being drunk have access to something that can stop emergency calls unrelated to what they are doing? Not at all, I'm saying if states do this, keep appealing until it hits federal court and watch the state drop charges to avoid having to admit to interfering with radio signals in federal court. I'm 100% against interfering with radio signals using any means other than passive blocking like a faraday cage.

Considering interfering with radio signals any way but passively is a federal crime, I cannot see it becoming standard practice for anyone besides federal law enforcement.

>So running a jammer that disrupts WIFI when approaching a house to serve a warrant should be used What do YOU think will happen when local law enforcement starts committing documented federal crimes and there's an appeal?

Comment on: Facial recognition designed to detect around face masks is failing, study finds - CNET
Cool, that means the curve should be flattened soon. I thought this virus would hang around until they succeeded in getting facial recognition to work, but if they're giving up, it'll vanish too.
