re: Hawley: Flock Cameras admitted they are saving images of every American in their vehicles

I wonder how many of those flock supporters would be ok with a govt contractor with a camera pointed in their windows.
It's. Not. Just. A. Camera.
From CambridgeAnalytica
quote:
The license-plate camera you drive past without a second thought may soon do far more than read your plate. A new capability from the defense contractor Leonardo, marketed under its ELSAG license-plate brand as SignalTrace, is designed to reach past your bumper and into your pockets — logging the Bluetooth signature of your phone, the earbuds in your ears, the watch on your wrist, and tying all of it to your car. First reported by 404 Media in June 2026 and since covered by TechRepublic and Jalopnik, it quietly turns roadside cameras from plate scanners into wide-net device trackers. And you were never asked.
And USSC already ruled on warrantless tracking:
quote:
In a ruling that could send ripples through Fourth Amendment law for years to come, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in Chatrie v. United States (2026) that law enforcement does indeed conduct a Fourth Amendment search when obtaining a citizen’s location history from a tech company (in this case, Google) via a geofence warrant. Building on the precedent set in Carpenter v. United States (2018), the Court ruled that individuals retain a reasonable expectation of privacy in their cell phone location history. SCOTUS rejected the government’s argument that a short window of surveillance (in this case, two hours) does not constitute a search, and held that even brief periods of tracking can reveal constitutionally protected personal details.

re: In-ground Pool Owners: do you regret it?
Posted by LemmyLives on 9/26/26 at 7:56 am to PenguinNinja
Yes and no.
No, because when it came time to put the house on the market, it sold faster than others that didn't have pools.
Yes, because my kids used it fewer than 15 times over the course of four years. The ex-wife was very particular about having 2nd and 3rd tier guests over (parents of kid's friends we weren't super tight with, etc.) which means we never had people over for the pool, hence the kids didn't use it.
As a dad, everything will be on you. It wasn't the actual pool maintenance itself that was a chore, it was picking up the half eaten food, towels scattered about, toys that never got put back, etc. And never forget the people that work at places like Leslie's usually only have a high school diploma, be your own expert.

Huge number and variety of restaurants to eat at. 2. Amazing grocery stores to buy from. Current selection is Super 1 and Walmart.
Yeah, you can't have any open land in a rural part of North Texas, East Texas, etc. Totally a Louisiana thing. :rolleyes:
Super 1 and Walmart in Ruston, just like it was in 1995. Progress!

re: when making u turns or lefts at intersections, go to the outside!
Posted by LemmyLives on 9/24/26 at 9:10 pm to SelaTiger
Do you mean, at the intersection proceed to the far point of the intersection before turning left?
Because that is the fricking way. Because both you, and the people coming in the other direction, can see oncoming traffic that they need to cross. This exact thing happens at an intersection I've crossed over 1k times in two years, and people frick it up, every, single day.

Accounting, without an IT audit background I presume. Is this CRM system subject to an external audit, such as a SOC2 (it better be!) ?
Any advice I give comes from the perspective of infosec/risk management at this point, and will be directed at your CRM focus. Infosec includes availability, not just confidentiality in this application. These are the things I'd worry about not interrupting the flow of data. You don't want hour long meetings with operations at this point, you want to kind of drop by someone's desk ad-hoc and ask benign questions like, "hey, how does our system connect to BCBS of Missouri?" Walk away after a 2 minute download, do research (ie, come back here) and ask, "they said we have a wide open site to site VPN to BCBS of Missouri, what does that mean?"
(example) 1. Authentication
You need to understand who has access to what within the software, and to what client connections (presumably APIs). Do all the people at your company login with "admin" (meaning there is zero accountability) or similar?
How do your connections to health care providers via the API authenticate? Is there are userID and password or are they doing certificate based authentication? If the latter, how long do the certificates last before they need renewal?

:rotflmao: Your struggle threads are awesome.
Dell SupportHub running a software sweep every 2 minutes is nuts. How does the same update have three file sizes, one of them hundreds of MB in size different?
On the plus side, when you move all the stuff off it, ChatGPT will give you good recovery instructions. When I created my peon installation of Immich and Paperless, I had it generate DR instructions as soon as I finished building it.

Do not get an airline card unless the value you get out of a free checked bag or whatever outweighs your points being trapped to that airline alliance (OneWorld and SkyTeam for you.) If you throw everything on an Amex Delta card, and find the flight you want to Paris is on American, you're basically SOL.
Chase Preferred and any Amex that earns MR all day.
