Can Flock Cameras Read Your Lips? We Put It to the Test
"What's the Rogue Move When Your TV Is Spying on You?" is The Modern Rogue's answer to a question many living rooms might be asking. Brian Brushwood and Tom Merritt start from what Gamers Nexus found about LG sets, then walk through Wi-Fi fingerprinting, keeping a TV offline, firmware updates by USB and switching off content recognition. They also ask whether a free TV is really a bargain. A short follow-up, "What's the LGTV QIA?", comes with an apology in its description that it promptly takes back. Together the two are what viewers are reaching for now.
Privacy ran through the whole week. "Can Flock Cameras Read Your Lips? We Put It to the Test" had the biggest opening of the nine uploads, though the TV episode adds a careful note that Flock cameras read license plates. Elsewhere Brian took a CdS cell, the little light-sensing resistor, and promised inventions. On Cordkillers #620 he and Merritt went further into the 1978 Battlestar Galactica. And Weird Things, with Andrew Mayne and Justin Robert Young, reached episode #999 by telling the future.
The newest clip moving fastest is a short billed as Brian being very serious on We Have Concerns. Overall the channel held its usual pace of roughly 54,000 views a day. Among the science and experiment channels near its size, Chris Boden and Undecided with Matt Ferrell are having big weeks, while Domain of Science is quiet.
