  • Usually, there’s a network for IP cameras, with a central server holding the video. There’s then, usually, a firewall to anything outside that, and frequently just a hardline to a monitoring system. (another computer with lots of monitors, typically.)

    I hate to say it man, but this assumes someone is going above and beyond to lock down the cameras.

    I used to have a milestone implementation where I work. There was a security PC in a security office that has the cameras on and always logged in but nobody shuts down requests for camera access for other users. The flimsiest of justification is all that is necessary for the highest level of leadership to give the go ahead. We do manufacturing and everyone thinks these low quality grainy security cameras are a replacement to going on the floor and actually watching how things are working so dozens of non-security people had access.

    When I started everybody was using the same local account to log in. I migrated us to AD authentication (with exception of the security PC) but anybody could still technically reach the camera system from the network.

    Absolutely anybody could just enter the IP of a camera on the network though and view what it sees. Every camera had default passwords. We even had some fun brands like Hikvision that were banned in 2022 by the FCC. We had a firewall from the outside world, but a guest network that was not isolated at all.

    We’ve migrated to a different solution that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars and over a year of replacing cameras, but still probably a third of people in the org have access to the cameras for bullshit reasons and leadership doesn’t care to shut it down. Thankfully none of them are admins and nobody but myself and a couple of others have any kind of admin level permissions now, but my point is that it’s the wild west out there in terms of IT processes… and often Shadow IT from groups like a security team that isn’t truly tech-savvy ends up running something like this.

    If money didn’t flow like water due to a total lack of purchasing controls and nobody complaining about expenditure at the time, we’d still be using the same old security cameras. I can’t imagine the Lourve having much of a budget. museums are run like shitty nonprofits and are held together with string and bubblegum in the US.



  • So this is here to stay and there’s absolutely no way to stop it from happening. There’s absolutely no way to trace this back to it’s source every time. There’s absolutely no way to prevent anybody from taking a photo from absolutely anywhere as source material to then manipulate it. You won’t fix this by banning AI or whatever term is used for whatever enables this as you can’t stop someone from running software.

    It’s not even a new thing, it’s just becoming easier and more accessible and more lifelike. The nature of technology means it will eventually be perfected and widespread. Hollywood has already been using body doubles and computer graphics to allow actresses to not show their actual nude bodies in nude scenes for years.

    What you can do without destroying all anonymity and privacy for everyone is find who uploaded or shared something with the goal of harassing someone. This is the means allowing for a detection mechanism to then remediation of said harassment. That’s the real crime right, harassment? Shouldn’t there already be laws and enforcement for harassment?

    The root of this problem is simple. The desire to have sex with people, to see them naked, and to otherwise get off is not something that will ever go away for humanity, because it’s ingrained in our nature to procreate. You can’t fix this by brainwashing/training/whatever bullshit psychological solution that is often peddled as a silver bullet for invented problems either.

    You can however change the law in your country so that standing menacingly behind a woman is considered harassment and punish them accordingly. If this was done by one or a group of guys in Boston and there were others around, odds are they would experience a lot of pain.



  • Yeah, I know. It’s too bad there is no economic incentive to keep quality high.

    Instead sysco, the people who supply something like 90% of us restaurants keeps on making more and more money y/y by adding soybean filler and other shit to their meat. They always find a way to make the change with an excuse like “prices are high right now” - and then they never, EVER go back to how it was unless it’s cheaper. Soybeans never get cheaper, we just keep subsidizing them so sysco can keep using them as filler.

    Anyway…




  • I ran the X video through a translation app using Turkish to English and got this, which doesn’t really say much. Guessing the translation is terrible.

    The translation I got from the video clip in the OP x post is:

    “They’re all politicians. They all tried to treat us like bugs, but they treat everyone like that. They tortured greta very badly in front of our eyes. Get up.”

    “Evet”[sic]

    Guessing this^ was an error in my translation app.

    “They persecuted Greta. Greta is still a little child.”

    “They killed them. They made them kiss the israeli flag. So they did the same thing as the nazis”

    Maybe someone who speaks turkish or whatever language is being spoken can help us understand the beating claim, because so far there is no source for that.


  • I saw that earlier and it’s really shitty that they have her in a cell that is giving her rashes (probably from bedbugs) and that they’re doing some stupid thing with flags. She did nothing wrong.

    Still not the same magnitude of what is described in the X “quote” which has zero sources and no way to verify their translation, for me anyway.

    The X quote which has zero source that lines up with it:

    “They [Israelis] dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,”
