Oh... This seems fun...
If you set a screen lock pin, and reboot...
The device will be stuck at a pre-boot password phase. Entering the PIN booted the device, and then it shut itself down right away. Booting again will do the same but without the shutdown.
So... uh, set a screenlock and reboot. done.
The screenlock can be a pin, password, swipe. etc.
Flock Safety Kill Chain thus far:

curl -x PUT http://192.168.43.1:8080/api/v1/system/adb/enable
adb connect 192.168.43.1
scrcpy

Back in the 90s when connecting to a BBS and creating a new account, the BBS asked for a handle. It was since that day, signing up for an account on a local BBS, I stuck with the name Kajer.
I have used my handle forever more in my online presence. Anything tied to IRL like bill pay and banks goes through a IRL email account and different domain.
I have tried REALLY hard to keep my online handle away from anything to do with IRL. Granted my opsec may not have been perfect, but I always found value in being pseudo-nonymous.
This is part of the reason I wholly reject things like phone numbers being required for in-person purchases at fast food kiosks. Why people use IRL names online is beyond me, and no good can come of this.
shitpost: I'm old enough to want to buy a lawn, a mower, and get excited about lawncare. I have had enough internet for the day.
not shitpost:
I think I got in to computers at a special time in the history of the things. First was PCs with games brought home from the local computer store. 12MB of ram was hot shit. Modems were opening a wide world of other computers via the BBS. Having a neighbor with university unix credentials to connect to the internet with lynx and then tcptrumpet / winsock.
Never again will computers be as awesome as that time in history. I am glad to have experienced the knockdown wall texture flat grey webpages with under construction barricades. I am glad to have been a part of geocities. I was so excited to buy something on ebay with a postal money order.
Witnessing the decay of the internet to it's current state... I can logoff now (forever) and not feel like I'm missing out on anything groundbreaking. I don't think there will be any new innovation in my lifetime that won't be #enshitification of once beloved products.
Pour one out for the internet.

I don't want or need my computer to have a personality. WTF?

Kratom is an herbal extract that comes from the leaves of an evergreen tree called Mitragyna speciosa. The tree grows in Southeast Asia. Kratom users can chew the tree's leaves, swallow or brew dry kratom, or add the extract to a liquid.

Otherwise, i have seen it in the fake weed shops in vegas and gas station counters like where you find the dick growing pills.
This is what gets me off the internet... emojis being used as words. Fuck this noise.
I have seem to have blocked a lot of Bsides accounts due to excessive emoji use.
since the camera has "encrypted" storage, the reboot will force the pre-boot password to be entered before loading the userdata partition. No userdata, no flock apps. No hotspot. Only USB adb bridge will get you scrcpy to then enter the password.
In theory you could use the usb adb to do some intent/keystroke commands to the screenlock screen, but scrcpy is already running, and easier.
If the camera doesn't get a boot password, it shuts down to a low power state until you press buttons on the internal boards locally.
I am no longer in possession of the above pictured flock safety camera. I have passed it on to the next person who may extract it's darker secrets. Look for updates in the future. I will link when that time comes.
I carry a handcuff key on my EDC keyring. You should too. Bonus points for the beltloop emergency key... for emergencies.
the sharkfin may not be the only antenna in the car. To get reliable AM radio reception, you need antenna length. Sometimes there is an antenna disguised as a defroster line on the back glass too.
@farewell_ladmin@infosec.exchange I used a decent glass mounted antenna on an older car of mine, but for HAM use, some of the MFJ models had HUGE couplings that were fairly ugly.
For my scanner, I got a "Y" adapter for the car's built in aerial, since botht the car radio and scanner were RX only.
@farewell_ladmin@infosec.exchange best part of having the car's existing radio antenna double as my scanner antenna? stealth.
re photo and video storage:
old and busted - glacier tier or tape storage
new hotness - text based ai summaries of photos and videos used to recreate them as needed.

@stroz@infosec.exchange My understanding is it can't be clearly pronounced as a (real) word the way an acronym can.
