They wanted a subway gun crime deterrent, they just found it was much easier to build a subway deterrent.

But you’d still need to download the games onto the ps5 in the cabin in the woods, assuming this doesn’t apply to games on disc.

Now they’ll be plugging thier second and third channels too 😅

They should install automated blinds like some high end luxury cars have except make them out of that silvery windscreen sunshade stuff.

Reminds me of screenshots of internet explorer with 20 search bar addons from the 2000s 🤣

At the moment AI is less creative and more derivative, but it could be in par or better in the future.

The bigger issue is that we’re living in a world that has a lot of artificial scarcity and people still have to work to survive, and AI is taking away many of the only jobs that make life worth living while doing it worse but also a lot cheaper.

At first glance it may look like they have the same flag, but NZ and Australia are actually separate countries.

Also useful for devices where you want more storage but the device only has an SD card slot, or other slots are already occupied or sd card is just easier such as phones, Nintendo switch, steam deck, ultra light laptops, raspberry pi…

Also could be handy for smuggling banned movies/tv shows into authoritarian countries that block or outlaw unauthorised VPNs?

Filming 8K in a raw format maybe? (a lot of cameras only have an SD card slot, or only the sd card slot is fast enough to record raw at higher resolutions)

You probably wouldn’t need to take it out of the camera either? so the form factor wouldn’t be major concern.

Discontinuing products seems more like it would be to justify laying them off?

Why does Google do any of the dumb shit they do?

IANAL: It sounds like the EFF recommendation probably wouldn’t help prevent it from being used to investigate ad blocking and piracy:

Recommendation: Restrict the definition to “core cybercrimes” like technical attacks on computers, devices, data, and communications systems. Exclude human rights-protected activities from the scope of the treaty to prevent misuse and ensure these rights are not unjustly targeted due to equating cybercrime with any crime using ICT.

Since blocking ads and piracy aren’t likely to be directly related to human rights protected activities, and they’ll probably stretch the definition of “core cybercrimes” to include those…

google cache version

That feature was hard to find though, had to search cache:https://www.eff.org/files/2024/07/29/eff-treaty-un-pagers.pdf and apparently access to google cache is going away entirely soon, so I saved the google cache to the way back machine too

Not only that they’ll probably start using all sorts of surveillance data that Google and Facebook etc. have for all sort of things that people don’t expect e.g. Maybe use GPS data to issue speeding tickets…

But then if they do realise you’ve got POE devices I guess they could use a laser to overheat the external cameras I guess, or nock out your power if you don’t have them on a UPS…

Its also to help police with investigations. POE cameras and doorbells won’t have this specific weakness, they’ll probably still get in and steal all your valuables, but if they think thier wifi jammer is working you might get some footage thats useful for the cops…

Probably a bit more expensive though, depending how much storage you need.
