An interesting quandary here is that they'd need to constantly scan for you and your vehicle, etc. so that they could know it was you then delete you. So to ensure they don't observe you, they need to observe you.

All materials available at major home improvement centers - which happen to be very popular Flock camera locations.

Fans of My Mechanics on YouTube will chuckle at this.

The channel’s Swiss host is famous for removing sharp edges from metal things.


I had a team mate propose a new security layer for an industrial device which he wanted to call "Eggshell"

We shall call it Achilles, as Claude Mythos is its only weakness.


I saw it (I am not OC), though I think by pure accident.

There's seemingly appearing trend of ultra low contrast foreground to background (e.g. mid gray text on top of dark gray background), often combined with 1px borders and/or 1px thick fonts.

I constantly need to either zoom on such websites or crank up screen brightness to the max (or both) to be able to see anything (or even better, not visit such sites ever again).

That link you pointed out has:

- mid gray font: rgb(122, 125, 126)

- dark blue tint background: rgb(14, 21, 24)

- 1px border that is nearly invisible against background: rgb(37, 42, 44)

That link text has unacceptable contrast: https://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/?fcolor=7A7D7E&... , not to say the border: https://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/?fcolor=252A2C&... .

At least main text has passable grade: https://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/?fcolor=A89F91&...


Seven Sigma is not all it's cut out to be.

I'd be cautious of residual Higgs Booson particles in the tunnels. They can cause unexpected phase shifts if encountered, which may expose the driver to unexpected hazards.

The observer effect prevents Booson particles from traveling towards the observer

I'm kind of shaking my head that there's no screenshot or clip to show it in action. Just some cartoon'ish artwork.


Thanks for your input. Will be adding that soon : )


I was hoping for something like the old Henchman's Helper site, which went offline around 2016-17.

If you're in the US, stay away from Home Depot and Lowe's if you want to not be around them. It's not universal, but it's surprising how much they are often there.

I get it may have its application in theft recovery, but it also happens to have some strong potential for ICE raids for day laborers. I don't think it has much application to theft prevention as I doubt many people even know they are there.
