@BrianHjelleVirologist hey by any chance were you running a wildly illegal and dangerous SARS COV2 test lab in a Fresno warehouse?

@Abyss1992 it's late I'm not going to look for it now, but those security cameras at Mar a Lago at one point had the network connection info written on them large enough that a journalist got pictures. I.e. anyone with a laptop could connect.

@JolieSaboteuse Truth. People ain't thinking this through.

More great privacy-preserving ideas from Google and everyone loves them.

Issue #134 calls the idea "absolutely unethical and against the open web." ... Issue #127 adds: "Have you ever stopped to consider that you're the bad guys?"
