Big Brother just got an upgrade.
Starting December, Amazon’s Ring cameras will scan and recognize faces. Don’t want to be in their database? Too bad — walk past a Ring and your face can be stored, tagged, & analyzed without consent.
One step closer to total surveillance.

Can't we make necklaces of intense IR radiation that block out our faces? Or does that not work anymore?
This is what I want. To be able to put on a hat and sunglasses and have it obscure me.
Oh!!! Or suits like in A Scanner Darkly!!!
Not for nefarious reasons, I'm pretty boring. It's the principle of the thing.
A balaklava and a can of spray paint would be cheaper and more effective.
Well one of these things is undetectable to the naked eye and the other is a costume for being arrested
So would a good arm and a Molotov cocktail.
I was discussing this on another post, of using a 5w invisible laser to burn sensors, with auto focal point distance sensor + ai camera detection, to render them useless but there is a ton of dangers to doing this.
Nah, Project Farm tested a bunch of doorbells out, most of them still worked surprisingly well even with a flashlight pointed directly at them in the dark.
