It came out of retirement for the last election.

I dont see it mentioned here, but I went with a 75" Spectre earlier this year. I had a 40" Spectre that was given to me third- hand, and I only replaced it because it was too small for the new place I moved into. Spectre doesn't seem to even offer smart TV, and I wanted to support that decision. The only potential downside that you may see is the lack of a 4k offering, but that wasn't something I care about.

I found this, but I'm still working out the oma-uri stuff. Very much not my forte, but maybe this will help you.

This is great! Now to figure out how to do this by policy. I've been banging my head into so many walls during the past 2 days, trying to figure out if Mozilla has an .admx that will allow me to turn this off for devices via CSP, or via custom OMA-URI.

Spectre makes a line of dumb TVs, but I don't think any of them are 4k. I spent about $600 on a 75" 1080p model last year.

Also disable biometric unlock methods. No rules against holding someone's phone up to their face while they're handcuffed.

To add onto the phone section: (1) Disable any biometric authentication, and (2) turn/keep it off whenever there's a chance that it will be siezed.

  1. While the first amendment protects you from being required to give up your phone's pass code, there's no protection against someone just holding the phone up to your face or fingerprints to unlock it.

  2. While your phone is never totally impenetrable, it is significantly harder to access in its BFU state (before first unlock). Most commercially available cracking tools will only work if the phone is in it's AFU state (after first unlock).

I just tried this, and it looks like it defaulted to Google maps. I'm guilty of having that set as my default at the moment, is that why?

Sideways T gang unite!

Maybe we should come up with a better name before we print the shirts.

Absolutely true. I have a paid VPN service that hardly gets used, but I call home with Wireguard multiple times a day (usually not for the encryption, though). Most basic home routers include a VPN feature as well, and it doesn't require much technical ability to configure beyond a quick web search for the router model and what the hell DDNS means.

This is the reason to use a VPN. Not to protect your identity, or to watch region-locked content, but to remove the need to blindly trust developers to always use best practice, and/or blindly trust the strangers that you share public networks with.
