>"According to Google: "Police need a valid legal process like a search warrant or subpoena to obtain Ring doorbell camera footage from Axon"
I would HOPE so. But, color me jaded. A system like this with potentially millions of connected cameras with central control is just SO ripe for abuse in so many ways. Do we really think the three-letter-agencies always go through the correct/legal process? And then there are disgruntled or employees, hackers, accidental security flaws, etc, etc.
>"But that's pretty much smartphones."
Yeah, true that. But a network of more and more cameras knitted together, recording 24/7.... it all amplifies.
>"With everyone posting their videos to social media, is there really much difference?
Yes, there is.
Comparing random people who might record some active event is not at all the same as remoting into fixed cameras all over the place, potentially without the owner's knowledge or informed consent, to go trolling around.
Being "in public" is starting to warp any sense of privacy argument at this point. When that stuff was relevant to say, there was no such thing as the technology we have now.
How would you/anyone feel if someone followed behind you and recorded everything you did and said just about anywhere you go, the moment you step foot out of your front door, because it is "in public"? And those geo-tagged recordings were then available to who-knows what private and government agencies to pour automatic AI searches through, at any time, for who knows how long a retention period. Facial recognition. Object detection. Interfaces with lots of other databases....
It doesn't take much imagination to formulate a very dystopian view of the future. One that could be, or is, extremely hostile to freedom, privacy, dissent, presumption of innocence, probable cause, etc.
>"Or in most cases they could just ask me. But just remoting in? No way."
Yep, that is why I installed a Unifi system. All local storage, no access to third-parties. Plus integrates really well into their great WiFi/firewall/switch stuff.
Now, if there were an investigation and the police told me what it was about and asked me, I would very likely cooperate and supply the relevant video to them.
And after I installed the cameras, I told my neighbors about it and let them know to contact me if they have need of footage for some reason. I know, insane, right?
Historical data has value there though. Even if knowing that flight X is usually around $500 from anecdotal history is the foundation, there is opportunity. A third party has a great opportunity to provide even better information.
It might be bad for people that live in hub cities though.
I've been using LO pretty much constantly for the last two years (even wrote a novel on it). Like any interface, it just takes time to become familiar. In fact, I like the way Writer organizes styles and style configuration far better than Word, and often, even for DOCX files, do initial style set up and layout in Writer and then move to Word if I have to (which is seldom enough).
LO is a damned good office system. Its default UI is older, but since I used MS-Edit and Word pretty extensively back in the 1990s, it feels familiar to me. There is a ribbon interface, but I've only tried it a few times before remembering why it is I actually don't like the Word ribbon.
MS-DOS must die!
