ANECDOTE

Holiday Prep In Small Sections

  • Angela recounts cleaning and carpet-shampooing routines to prepare for holiday gatherings, breaking work into sections due to exertion-induced hives.
  • She spaces tasks into manageable segments and avoids marathon cleaning sessions.
INSIGHT

  • Flock cameras and similar VC-backed surveillance devices form a growing privatized spying industry with shared databases and AI overlays.
  • This creates systemic privacy risks and legal precedents that could shield many vendors as law-enforcement tools.
ADVICE
