  • If I get time to find it I'll post it but there was a famous study where researchers in the UK looked at a smart thermostat and figured out how many privacy disclaimers you would need to agree to to use it lawfully. It was in the hundreds. There was also those photos of kids on the toilet that were taken by an Amazon robotic vacuum cleaner that got leaked. And police getting called out to a murder in the US that was recorded by Alexa.

  • It's probably a pacing thing. Having a section of the film where the protagonist has to sit down and learn about threat models, flash a Tails image to a USB stick and fiddle around with PGP keys before they can communicate securely would probably ruin the vibe.

  • I met another Brit travelling in Thailand who went to hospital with a stomach problem. They didn't want to treat him until they got a confirmation email from his travel insurance. After they got the email they gave him a massive room to himself, lavished loads of food and drink on him and wouldn't let him leave after he got better.

  • I'm totally up for this. Yes, some kids will find out how to circumvent it and yes, some parents won't abide by it but even if a law isn't completely enforceable it totally changes people's attitudes on a population level. Look at the ban on smoking in indoor public spaces for example.

  • Awesome, that's very close to what I had in mind in terms of hardware.

    I'd mostly like to host a lightweight website but perhaps also some communications stuff like xmpp and maybe even email.
