Same. Those colors were an intentional (and effective) choice

Imagine being an adult human but not being able to extract a tiny chuckle from such a silly thing.

Well, I do have a rather special last name which makes me susceptible.

Thought of this immediately after reading the parent comment. I was actually pretty shocked at how seamless the whole project was.

> Sure some creeps will use them and with that in mind Apple has the possible ability to solve that privacy issue as they are a privacy company (all pics and vids taken thru APple glasses faces not in your network are randomize/anonymized).

This is it's own distopian nightmare. No one exists in the world but those you've asserted you've met. What if you meet someone who was in the background of a picture from childhood? Can you never take your pictures from apple?

If you have an iPhone open the camera app and look under "People & Pets," to see that Apple already has those in your network and their pic matched up. As well if you are taking pic or video of people and they are smiling for the camera that's an indication your more likely with them then not.

I hate that this works

Their stupidity is a true threat to our lives. Regardless of how you want to classify it we need to remove it as a threat.

Have you ever gone fishing? Did you catch all the fish?

Often it is more impactful to address one major/tangible player in a particular space than it would be to "boil the ocean" and ensure that we are capturing every possible player/transgressor. I agree that some of the video was overly breathless, but if that's what wakes people up to the dangers of unsecured cameras/devices then so be it.

Ok, you're the second person to say that, and I think my point is not clear enough. That's on me.

This response would make sense if I was saying "why focus on Flock, there are so many other ALPR cameras out there" (also true, but not relevant to my point).

But this is a video that is mostly about things that are true of all IP cameras, of the kind that we've had staring out onto public streets for decades, plural decades. People celebrated those cameras, thought they were super neat, built sites indexing them. All of them do most of the same things this video says those Flock cameras did, the tiny minority of Flock cameras you can access publicly.
