And then we can celebrate the them at their funeral. So sad how many accidental officer firearm discharges are associated with people “making a point”.
Seriously, what part of surveillance police state do people not understand
I’m obliquely suggesting its already that way and it needs to be reconfigured. Said bad apple’s records would likely be treated with professional courtesy like those friends of the police get out tickets free cards
It’s not even just your medical data. I picked up a prescription for my mother who just had spinal surgery, and they wouldn’t hand over the pain medication without taking down all of my info. I’ve had no issue picking up any of her other prescriptions. Seems the war on drugs is still alive and well.
To be fair, I work in hospice and we have run into situations where family members would help themselves to patient comfort meds if they could gain access. It’s not a bad idea to track who has access along the way.
Meanwhile, I’ve seen dozens of videos on Instagram of cartel guys floating literal boatloads full of coke and god knows what else across the gulf of mexico.
Watching the US government handle drug enforcement is like watching a toddler eat piss with a fork. Whatever they’re hoping to achieve isn’t going to help anyone and they’re not even trying to do it effectively.
Maybe at the time you most need it, you’d want it to be as readily as possible. May I suggest a thin plastic layer to open the circuit rather than having the batteries out?
The satellite uplinks these devices use is very bandwidth limited, and quite expensive. I can assure you that it’s not routinely sending anything without telling you.
I’ve been very happy with my Nvidia Shield. It’s powerful enough for all 4k HDR media and runs Android so it’s customizable but I don’t have to think about it.
There is a bigger model that lays flat which has great hardware and then there is a “tube” model similar to the Amazon Fire stick size which is 32 bit only and has hardware issues also.
I like my Shield but it was a real bummer that I couldn’t just plug in a USB drive and play movies on it. It’s annoying that I have to setup Plex or Jellyfin or whatever to serve movies to the Shield
There are definitely more economic options, but I lucked out with a cheap i7 Intel NUC a few years ago that’s had no problem running any of my Plex streams. Might be worth checking out
The 3B was like peak RPi though. Nowadays unless you need the GPIO or the low power or form factor, it’s not worth it at all. You can get low-spec 3-5 year old off-lease office desktops for roughly the same price point as a top end RPi now, and they are commonplace and easily found in the secondary market.
Hell I just bought a really clean Ryzen 5 3500 laptop for $200. Only had 8GB mem and a paltry NVMe but these are cheap upgrades if needed.
