When police ask your permission to live stream your home security camera from their surveillance center, you should say no, writes EFF's @mguariglia on @mozilla's blog. https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/blog/police-mississippi-pilot-program-live-stream-amazon-ring-cameras/

Think police cameras stop at identifying faces? You’re wrong. Hair color, accessories, and clothing all are automatic identifiers for new disturbing video analytics tools. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2020/11/video-analytics-user-manuals-are-guide-dystopia
@ferds "Influencer culture" started long before social media. Hard to judge someone as "stupid", if you are at (equal or?) lower level of intelligence or knowledge attainment.
It would be nice if everyone understood the scientific process and only accepted peer reviewed science as influential. Unfortunately things like religion and pseudoscience are very popular, because they offer hope of an easier path to happiness.
Does "don't let people influence you" apply to yourself? >;->

I think it is the worst news possible.... but ya need to know. Sorry.
@gedvondur Use a multimeter. If you're making both ends, it really doesn't matter if you get the colors right as long as they go to the same terminals. If you're only doing one end, then you'll be able to find the right color from the made end. I have trouble seeing shades of red, so I find it hard to tell red and brown apart, blue and purple, yellow and orange. Dark red on a black background is common and can be almost invisible to me.
