Las Vegas wouldn’t be the same without all the lights. Where I live there’s a limit to one moderately-sized sandwich board, and I quite like it. Somewhere else they might want totally bare streets. All could be accommodated.

You know, surveillance of those devices is a choice, right? And what industry wants to surveil those devices the most? Oh yeah, fuck me, it’s MARKETING!
