did my civic duty today:
went to a local donut shop
noticed they had a new ring camera up.
i ask the nice hispanic girl behind the counter "hey you know ice can see through that ring camera, right?"
she goes UHHHH NO WTF I HAVE ONE AT HOME
"tear it out of the wall. yank the power. ring gives ice free access to those" -

@Herndonite but the bigger question, is why are you defending flock and ice?
-
How was posting a discussion of the issue defending Flock and ICE?

@Herndonite framing it as anything other than "ice can see through ring cameras" is softening it, and 100% of the time some rando responds to a thread with nothing but a link to a snopes link, it implies they are "calling bullshit".
so if i say "ring can see through ice cameras" and you reply with nothing but a link to a snopes article, it implies you are calling bullshit on my statement.
which in this context means you are defending ring and ice from me.

Sorry. I don't know you and I hadn't heard of this connection between ICE and Ring, so I sought out more information.Your post didn't offer any information to back up the Ring/ICE connection ( though you may have in previous posts -- I should have checked) so I after reading the Snopes item which raised plenty of red flags, I linked to it in my reply.
Perhaps I should have added more context in doing that, so apologize if I offended you.

@Herndonite well today youve learned that when you post a link to a snopes article and no other explanation thats 'internet speak for':
'your statement is bullshit and snopes says youre wrong'

Lesson learned.I will add, that I see lots of people posting claims on Mastodon which on reflex I agree with and am tempted to pass along. However, if it is something I have not seen other information on, I will check it out myself. That way I am not unintentionally spreading misinformation.
The right has made a meal out of posting lies and spreading unfounded fear knowing that their base will not verify their claims. I think those of us on the other side, should strive to be better.

@JessTheUnstill @Viss they control the software. Don't expect that cancelling a cloud subscription prevents them from accessing the device they built and control. It just prevents you from accessing it.

Watching Starfleet Academy. Smells like fan service.
I'm gonna keep going, as I think I've only seen good reviews, but it's rubbing me the wrong way.

A Working Intercom From Antique Telephones
Although it can be hard to imagine in today’s semiconductor-powered, digital world, there was electrical technology around before the widespread adoption of the transistor in the latter half of the 1900s that could do more than provide lighting. People figured out clever ways to send information around analog systems, whether that was a telegraph or a telephone. These systems are almost completely obsolete these days thanks to digital technology, leaving a large number of rotary phones and other communications systems relegated to the dustbin of history. [Attoparsec] brought a few of these old machines back to life anyway, setting up a local intercom system with technology faithful to this pre-digital era.
These phones date well before the rotary phone that some of us may be familiar with, to a time where landline phones had batteries installed in them to provide current to the analog voice circuit. A transformer isolated the DC out of the line and amplified the voice signal. A generator was included in parallel which, when operated by hand, could ring the other phones on the line. The challenge to this build was keeping everything period-appropriate, with a few compromises made for the batteries which are D-cell batteries with a recreation case. [Attoparsec] even found cloth wiring meant for guitars to keep the insides looking like they’re still 100 years old. Beyond that, a few plastic parts needed to be fabricated to make sure the circuit was working properly, but for a relatively simple machine the repairs were relatively straightforward.
The other key to getting an intercom set up in a house is exterior to the phones themselves. There needs to be some sort of wiring connecting the phones, and [Attoparsec] had a number of existing phone wiring options already available in his house. He only needed to run a few extra wires to get the phones located in his preferred spots. After everything is hooked up, the phones work just as they would have when they were new, although their actual utility is limited by the availability of things like smartphones. But, if you have enough of these antiques, you can always build your own analog phone network from the ground up to support them all.

@transicorn@mastodon.social they can't possibly get hacked twice right?
