Control of your own devices is temporary, but surveillance is forever.
Google stopped letting owners of early Nest themostats remotely control their devices last month. But it's still remotely collecting extensive surveillance data from them: https://www.theverge.com/news/820600/google-nest-learning-thermostat-downgraded-data-collection #privacy
Google is collecting troves of data from downgraded Nest thermostats
The thermostats may no longer connect to Google’s app, but they still transmit your data.

i do think it is useful for people who don't work in media to be able see for themselves what reporting looks like
Any journalist who has reached out to the federal government for a statement this year can attest to the unhinged responses they always get. I picked a couple of examples www.liberalcurrents.com/the-war-on-p...
![When HuffPost journalist S.V. Dáte reached out to the White House to ask who had picked Budapest for the location of the president’s recent meeting with Putin, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt replied “your mom did.” White House Communications Director Steven Cheung also responded with “your mom.” Leavitt further elaborated:
It’s funny to me that you actually consider yourself a journal [sic]. You are a far left hack who nobody takes seriously, including your colleagues in the media, they just don’t tell you that to your face. Stop texting me your disingenuous, biased, and bullshit questions.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:r75unbj372lvbim6syioaueo/bafkreidlmkzabjg5k4fxzi6ofg4356i77ftr7d7nfsamqqchwgou6h7jcq@jpeg)

the issue is not editors, it is who gets forgiven and who gets run out, who gets praised as edgy for breaking the fundamental tenets of a profession and who never even gets a call back for an entry-level job because they lacked the connections, the parents, the diploma from the 'right' school

Banal observation, sorry, but conversations in Prague really brought home to me that while countries come and go, cities have a historical existence and character that typically is far more resilient.
