I guess I’m out of date. Not sure if the meme outlasted the delays or if it just got buried in the politics. I continue to despise the lack of non-visual sensors to actually give it an advantage over human vision.

100 million Americans are screaming Elon/Tesla is a business to avoid at all costs. 100 million Americans are screaming that EVs are a vehicle type to avoid at all costs. 100 million Americans do not scream, do not post, and do not have any higher opinion about the cars beyond being cool, cheap to fuel, or quiet.


Destination to destination? Stop signs, residential corners, merges, and blind mountain corners? In fog and road spray?

I just learned HGTV has a Jan 7 2026 show called “Neighborhood Watch”. It’s like America’s Funniest Home Videos, but it’s all doorbell/security cameras. User-submitted, I think. I absolutely refuse to believe this was a casual idea from HGTV as they struggle to maintain viewership. There’s no way this isn’t funded by one of these companies, meant to continue making everyone comfortable with constant surveillance and increasing the desire to have constant recording devices to catch these one-off comedic moments.
Tagline: “Everywhere you go, cameras are recording. Your neighbors are watching.”


My dad rips his name out of junk mail and shreds it. He doesn’t want his name tied to his address, which is ironic in the first place, given that he’s already getting junk mail. He’s been worried about hiding his identity, address, cars, etc from some unknown surveillance entity based around Red Scare beliefs. Still, a few steps short of foil hat types.
Then he went and got cloud-based cameras. He’s clueless about smartphone privacy already. He resembles his friends in his cohort. They protested “leftist government surveillance” and then showed me that they’d will invite mystery surveillance in with the slightest promise of convenience.
I’m not in IT and only have tangential knowledge, but I would think something like corporate internet control would work for this. I know my company has blanket access restrictions with the ability to modify them on an individual basis. But I haven’t the slightest idea how to implement that. I think all of my company device data goes through a tunnel.
