Presumably the sensor’s data lines would be detectable, but probably more like laboratory conditions.
Perhaps a physical shutter would be a good happy medium. Put 'em on the damn cell phones, too.

Now if they can just notify you that some asshole is recording you on their cell phone instead of reading reddit. probably 0.001% of people out there stalking are using smart glasses.

The real issue is being temperate enough to freeze, but not cold enough regularly to have good road maintenance or drivers experienced with ice/snow.

My wife finally gave when the latest round of spying stuff happened. I’ve been trying to get around to building new ones for home assistant that all happen on prem, but there’s a lot of knowledge gap there.

They’re already mostly owned and working for the ultra-rich interests. There have been plenty of outlets over the years that had paying users, they’re mostly owned at this point. Those that aren’t are getting quite click-baity.
Capitalism is hard on News. Facism is worse.

They probably added a system guardrail as soon as they heard about this test. it’s been going around for a while now :)
- Comment on Privacy researcher debunks Microsoft Edge’s free VPN marketing, says it's "NOT a VPN" 1 day ago:
You trust SuperNeatVPN headquartered in $unregulatedCountry more than your own ISP?
if SuperNeat hasn’t been caught with their hand in the cookie jar, at least a little bit. it really depends on what and who. If you’re worried about being called up on anti-regime charges when it becomes illegal, it would be at least prudent to try not to post that from an IP in a country where the regime doesn’t have search and seizure rights. At this point, Google/Apple/Verizon/Comcast have been asked to comply with handing over people doing X things. It wouldn’t take a whole lot to at least obfuscate that a little. You’d still have to be careful through, even Proton is turning over activists.
- Comment on Liminal Space 1 day ago:
Per Live Science, the team modified a technique used to turn stem cells into neural tissue to create the brain organoids with the optic cups. After the cells developed into mini-brains, the optic cups formed 30 days later and fully matured at 50 days. The timing was on target with eye development in a human embryo, meaning the process could be used to study how eyes develop in utero.

Ram doesn’t require anywhere near the tech we need for processors.
They’re going this kind of thing for processors

Ram uses tech that’s way older. and for our needs, they can just stack smaller, low density chips

- Comment on Android will become a locked-down platform in 194 day 4 days ago:
I’ve been following this for a while.
You have two main branches to follow
Bare‑metal (native Linux kernel + native drivers) pros:
- True Linux kernel
- Long‑term maintainability
- No Android blobs in userspace
- Cleaner architecture
cons:
- Driver support is the biggest pain point
-
- Modems, cameras, GPUs, sensors often require reverse‑engineering
- Power management is worse
- Hardware acceleration may be incomplete
- Fewer devices are viable
You can put this on an old pine phone, or a pixel 3 or a fairephone 4/5 You can buy a preconfigured puresim librem 5 Battery life is pretty rough. You can find lots of youtubes recounting their attempts at daily driving both PostmarketOS, Puresim and UBPorts on bare metal
Halium‑based (Linux userspace on top of Android hardware abstraction)
pros:
- Excellent hardware support (camera, modem, GPU, sensors)
- Better battery life
- Runs on many more devices
- More stable than bare‑metal
cons:
- Controversial in the community
- Relies on Android blobs
- Not “pure Linux”
- Kernel is usually Android‑based, not mainline
- Long‑term maintainability depends on Android vendor support
You can buy preworking models from Volla or you can put it on a Fury Phone there are a number of options for used phones if you want to install it yousel.
IMO, If you want a daily driver with working cameras and good battery life, Halium is usually the practical choice.
You also have to beware of usage in some places, looks like most of the carriers in Australia will refsue to active VoiceOverLTE even though the phones support it.

It means they fork and they’re going to need funding to keep up with security work at least.

The PinePhone Pro was officially discontinued in August 2025, as it didn’t sell well enough to keep production going.[7]

- Comment on My father the tween literary critic 6 days ago:
YA fiction isn’t irredemable. My biggest problem with it is that they’re trying to write in danger, but there are limits to what they can put in. So you often end up with this ‘implied danger’ that has plotholes a mile wide, while they try to make your fear for the character. There was this one book, somewhere in paritals, where the heroine was somehow stuck between two lab machines, and one of them wasn’t grounded correctly, so she kept getting intermittently shocked, and as she tried to escape, she would get shocked again. It felt like an entire chapter, but it was likely only a few paragraphs. amounted to, she’s stuck, she got a little shocked, she got out.

It’s an ml instance. The downvotes are the only way you know you’re getting it right. ;)
If there is a fair and free election, it will be because the current administration has failed to corrupt the system, which is a fleeting chance at best
- Comment on Hopefully, he will be 6 underground by that time. 6 days ago:
Yeah, they’re not going to let anyone else in. DNC/RNC run their own dog-and-pony show. You could stand up a 50yo white guy with announcer charm and a solid plan to fix healthcare, education, let people keep their guns and be safe about immigration and nobody is going to let them in. That’s the important part about not using that part of the system to get in. Write in spots are there to combat this. It was foreseen a long long time ago.
- Comment on YouTube adds new hurdles for ad blockers, and there's currently no way around it 6 days ago:
Yeah, they probably already have the tooling in place. Maybe the power (heat + work) cost to encode a Mr. Beast video hurts the profit too much.
Maybe they’re afraid of putting widevine at the working end of the likes of ublock origin and brave. iIIRC some of the WV keys are in the wild, they just keep em close to the action not to make them rotate them out.

What you just said makes no sense in putting together an independent candidate. How does an independent candidate get thrown out?

We did, several times,
You did not.
- incredibly well funded palatable to :
- ultra-rich
- corporations
- left
- right
Bernie hit +2 at best. And among the historic independent options, he’s been by far the best.
If you’re trying to get them into the DNC, that’s never going to happen. You’re never going to get an actual choice in the DNC pick. They don’t need to conspire. They can simply say now.
You need an independent that’s better than 50% popular. You’re not getting that with a +2.
It’s honestly probably a unicorn, maybe a pegasus.
We’re pretty screwed until we replace what’s here with something real and fair. But you’re not getting that through half measures or by not voting.

I didn’t say any of that
I said
Leftists, you have two years to put forth an incredibly well-funded candidate that’s more palatable to the ultra-rich, corporate sponsors, left, and the right than the DNC/RNC candidates. You need more than 50% by a decent margin because they’re not going to let you in, you need half the boomers and genexers and youngbloods out there to write in a name.
OR
Once again, you’ll be here figuring out weather you’d rather vote for DNC or not at all and let RNC take us for another ride.
Tell me where I went wrong specifically
