Across the US, people are dismantling and destroying Flock surveillance cameras. Anger over ICE connections and privacy violations is fueling the sabotage. (www.bloodinthemachine.com)

Agreed. To do properly, you would probably want a verified screen room / faraday cage room. What they use for professional EMC testing. Might be able to jerry rig one I guess, but you'd want to test it for leaks if personal safety is on the line.

Thank you for saying "jerry rig" and not "jury rig". I ~~loose~~lose my shit everytime I "hear it".

Why would you get upset at jury rig? It's the original term and older than jerry rig.

[–] thlibos@thelemmy.club 1 points 6 hours ago

I always thought "jury-rig" was a nautical term that fell out of use centuries ago and has only reappeared because some people who heard the phrase "jerry-rigged" and were not familiar with the word "jerry" thought they must have said "jury". Meh, wouldn't be the first time I didn't know what I was talking about.
