@CatherineFlick not going to lie, this is one I’m definitely torn on.
I don’t mind who they hire, and some of those skills can be useful, but it’s how a company responds to feedback from those with genuine ethical concerns.

 @davidr @jsbilsbrough @CatherineFlick > There are lots of alternatives that can do the same thing for cheaper anyway. Would you share your list, please?! I've been looking for equivalent units (small, non-ARM, SBC, PoE, relatively cheap) and I've come up short. @neil @davidr @jsbilsbrough @CatherineFlick There are (only) three Intel boards in the list here: https://explainingcomputers.com/sbc.html. Don't know if any of the three meet your PoE req though.  @neil @jsbilsbrough @CatherineFlick I started here: https://hackerboards.com/ But I eventually picked the #esp32 to use #micropython.  @jsbilsbrough @CatherineFlick They proudly hired a Spy Cop, James https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/series/spy-cops-scandal  @jsbilsbrough @CatherineFlick It's a near certainty they hired him for his skills and contacts to sell devices to the police. He said he was proud of the work he did. This isn't someone who feels bad and just wants to go back to making wholesome machines. He spent his career doing surveillance and wants to continue.  @Kye @jsbilsbrough @CatherineFlick building this kind of surveillance equipment is part of the UK's tech history and something British companies have specialised in for decades, its only in recent times they have been open and blatant about it - and installing privately run covert cameras at home, with or without consent of others living there is likely to be a popular project amongst right wing "my home is my castle" types.. |
@jsbilsbrough @CatherineFlick I'm definitely not torn--I'm no longer buying #raspberrypi There are lots of alternatives that can do the same thing for cheaper anyway. This issue just forced me to search for them.
