  The supplier, 30Seconds Group, says the cameras allow them to track “occupant engagement” from residents who are a “captive audience” as they wait for lifts to their apartments.

  JFC, how do these people sleep with themselves at night.

  Now I’m not saying that hammers exist for a reason…

    Vandalising something that can record you might not be the smartest thing

      Certainly could be one way to see if they’re telling the truth about the cameras not being on

    Chewing gum & bubble gum sound like a good compromise…

      Contains too much DNA.

      Use sticky labels. If you can find asset tag labels, even better. These are almost impossible to remove without destroying the surface beneath.

      Use an infrared flashlight to blind cameras from capturing your face while you apply the labels. IR flashlights can be made from the LEDs in old TV and air conditioner remote controls and old recycled security cameras.

      Be sure to leave a few spare sticky labels in common areas for others to use, too.

  Can’t wait for them to start pairing digital billboards with license plate cameras so you get personalized ai generated ads with your dead grandma in them on your way to work.

  The audacity of that screen telling you how you are allowed to use your balcony. Oh sure, it’s your balcony, but keep nothing on it and don’t hang out laundry on it…
