"They're the same picture"

I heard some criminals are also putting a drop of oil on the saw blade to make sure the aluminum doesn't gall up the blade teeth and slow it down

[-] 0tt3rk3w1@infosec.pub 6 points 3 weeks ago

Dunno how you heard them; that'd make the activity even quieter!

[-] breadsmasher@lemmy.world 27 points 3 weeks ago

american “revolutionaries” inciting the war of independence, would be labelled as terrorists today.

[-] yakko@feddit.uk 5 points 3 weeks ago

A lot of far right nutters co-opt '1776' and revolutionary motifs on that basis

I'm a ~~Pepper~~ criminal, he's a ~~Pepper~~ criminal, she's a ~~Pepper~~ criminal, wouldn't you like to be a ~~Pepper~~ criminal, too?

Ive heard that the flood of anti flock videos and videos showing them actively cut down was inspired by and started around the time of Trump investing into a rival company that gives him kickbacks called Axon; a lot of cities actually contracted with them instead of flock

Not that i think this guy is necessarily some govt paid actor

[-] tempest@lemmy.ca 10 points 3 weeks ago

I've seen this guy before on YouTube. While I agree with this vid he always gave me the feeling that his Wikipedia article has a large "controversies" section. Can't quite put my finger on why though.

[-] 0tt3rk3w1@infosec.pub 1 points 3 weeks ago

Is it the tattooed sclera? 😵

[-] tempest@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 weeks ago

Actually no, the tattoos don't really bother me, though they are not to my taste. It's more that he comes across as manic in his content I think.

[-] TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 3 weeks ago

You need the saw do the work. Don't push it too hard. It will go slower and get dull.

[-] SecretiveVault@lemmy.zip 9 points 3 weeks ago

A pleasant young person showing us how we protect our right to privacy. Informative and engaging. Definitely going to be thinking about how his methods can be optimized and improved. Glad this came through my feed.

[-] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 6 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

and violates your human rights

Btw, Human rights in the United States

(why does a flawed democracy have jurisdiction over international human rights laws?)

[-] GarboDog@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Think you misspelled peak and based local heroes lol

Fr that video is so good yippee

[-] 0tt3rk3w1@infosec.pub 1 points 3 weeks ago

heroes*, yippee* (the latter, as you'd typed it, is slang [80s-90s^★^?] for former-hippies gone corpo-sellouts)

^★^ no apostrophes

[-] GarboDog@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Lol thx, we stuck at spelling lol

Also the former word really means that??? That’s a thing????

[-] Chivera@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

I swear officer! That camera just exploded on its own.

[-] mavu@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 3 weeks ago

thorough reporting there.

Just maybe, if you go through the rather extreme measure of tatooing your eyeballs, don't destroy the resulting awesomeness by wearing what looks like flipflops with socks. thanks.

[-] StillAlive@piefed.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

When did Robert Pattinson get so many tattoos?

[-] Brkdncr@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Can’t take this person seriously. He’s too thirsty for attention

[-] SailorFuzz@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago

You've posted this in two different threads.

Just admit you think hes sexy and exotic

[-] Brkdncr@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago
[-] fyzzlefry@retrolemmy.com 5 points 3 weeks ago

Welcome to the internet

[-] 0tt3rk3w1@infosec.pub 2 points 3 weeks ago

You new? Also, ironic that you're cross-posting for attention. Hoping he'll notice you?

Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs) are AI-powered cameras that capture and analyze images of all passing vehicles, storing details like your car’s location, date, and time. They also capture your car’s make, model, color, and identifying features such as dents, roof racks, and bumper stickers, often turning these into searchable data points. These cameras collect data on millions of vehicles—regardless of whether the driver is suspected of a crime. While these systems can be useful for tracking stolen cars or wanted individuals, they are mostly used to track the movements of innocent people.
