- Comment on LAPD Eyes ‘GeoSpy’, an AI Tool That Can Geolocate Photos in Seconds 6 days ago:
I appreciate that, and if a fake email works then I’ll happily give them that. But that’s it.
If I need to sign up with a real address, click a verification link, unsubscribe (possibly a few times) and remember what I gave them the next time they put up a login: No.
And if I’m not being “provided” with the story until I submit to a EULA or whatever, it is NOT being “freely provided”.
Hell, we’ll give you this lovely home in a wonderful city for free! Terms and conditions may apply.

- Comment on New Xfinity router motion-detecting feature stokes privacy fears — feature powered by Wi-Fi signals 1 month ago:
At face value, this sounds convenient, and it would have been fine and dandy if Xfinity hadn’t pulled the classic fine print shenanigans. Buried deep within the terms of service, the company has a clause stating that once you enable this feature, you give the company the right to collect and log your data, which can subsequently be sold to advertisers.
But that’s not even the scary part. According to Comcast’s policy, these logs can be shared in legal disputes or with law enforcement under subpoena, without requiring additional consent. While it’s not tracking you with a camera, it’s still observing patterns: when you’re home, when you’re not, and how often there’s movement in different rooms. This data is exclusively attached to your account, so any alibis are out of the question.
