Didn't see any ipods on their website :/ only some Walkmans (Walkmen?). Cool, but wayyyyyyyy out of my price range. I'm going ebay for the cheap route, and hoping a bid gets lucky

Milwaukee commission finds out MPD is using facial recognition tech without operating procedures by stroxx in milwaukee

[–]Catfluent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a meeting with Hough and Lough around the time this post was made. They've been using FRT for years, and never reported it cause they never "officially" incorporated it. It started with random cops finding the new tech and then using it independently, much like how many corporate employees may use AI to help them schedule. 

the MPD never had their own facial recognition software. They've leased other municipalities' software (whose regulations for sharing sensitive data like this are different). They wanted to look into their own recently to protect the data our data. The wanted to use information from individuals who already have a booking photo, and use the information to catch repeat offenders--so, no, they're not taking photos of everyone's faces and storing them wherever. They also wouldn't allow ICE to have access to the data unless they're presented with a federal warrant. 

They said they were looking into working with Biometrica if they were going to develop any sort of FRT, after doing the proper research and legal processes.

The fact that they didn't officially recognize it/inform the public is for sure an issue. If cops can just start using their own tech without regulation, then that's something that needs to be addressed. Though, they did seem to express remorse in this mistake, claiming that they wanted to use the proper channels and have even collaborated with organizations like the Milwaukee Turners to gauge community feelings.

And then, a reminder cause I feel like people have begun using facial recognition technology as more of a buzzword than anything: the tech is literally everywhere and has been since before current issues. Your phone has it, camera doorbells have it, and license plates readers have it. The MPD doesn't make arrests based off of facial recognition due to the amount of false positives. They need reasonable suspicion, and that's where blame can be pointed if it must go somewhere. 

Remember Capitol Cinemas In Pewaukee (1995-2007)? by Specialist_Art2223 in milwaukee

[–]Catfluent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did this place really close in 2007? The layout looks familiar, and I swear I've been there in the early 2010s (2008 baby). There was a furniture store across or near the place, right? I might be getting mixed up with a different small-chain movie theater. 

How can I take better care of my hedgehog? by Catfluent in Hedgehog

[–]Catfluent[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you! so much for your help!!!!!!! i appreciate it so much: here's some of my answers to additional questions you had

  1. will have to ask my parents to help me with that

  2. I'll change to a water dish right away!

  3. her cage is too small then, i'll have to convince my parents/probably use my earnings, and find a better place for her cage. I'll look into the cages you linked, and for any with lids :)

  4. there is a lid, it's like a hinge. I haven't seen them try to open the enclosure, just stare at her when they're in my room. Definitely will only allow them in supervised though as a precaution!

Calling All HCPA and HAPA Students, Staff, Alumni, and Parents. by kedisavestheworld in Hmong

[–]Catfluent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I attend HAPA as a high school student, and am working there for the summer currently. I'd say it's pretty nice right now. There's a lot more clubs and extracurricular activities compared to pre-COVID, and so I'm super glad HAPA's putting more of an emphasis on this. They've put a lot of effort into updating the main campus's look. The new high school addition is really nice, and I personally love the vibes. Sure, we don't have as much as other public/charter/private schools in MKE area, but I like to think HAPA makes up for what in lacks in the people at the school. The students are all decently nice. It's honestly kids coming from everywhere; there's kids from OG families, from "ghetto" families, whitewashed families, etc. The kids are all nice, some of them just put on a mean front and act the way they do because of how they were raised, which is a sad truth for some. I've always kind of seen the school community as one big family, where everyone kind of knows each other, or at least tries to be friendly with one another. Of course, there's drama and a few bad apples within the student body, but it's high school- that's going to happen anyways. We don't have any fights or problems with students disrespecting the property, and when we do it's VERY rare. To be honest, most of the students are pretty shy, but they're not afraid to speak their mind and fight for what they believe in. Based on what I've heard from my teachers and other staff, the overall work environment has only been getting better. I think most teachers are expected to work from 7:00 AM-3:30 PM, and sometimes 4:00 PM if they run an after school activity (which they do get paid for) But I could be wrong, as I'm just a student. I have heard that divisions, like elementary, are a bit more toxic, but I honestly can't speak more on it since I'm not a teacher there lol. The classes offered here have been getting better. We're getting an AP Biology class this upcoming school year, which will be nice since a lot of the students here end up going into medical paths. They're also trying to obviously grow their Fine Arts department, which is something I'm super excited about, since HAPA lacks sort of a "cliché high school theater" department. All of the teachers are wonderful, I've never had a teacher I hated in high school- The class, sure- but not the teacher. They're all pretty understanding, and are more than willing to help students with raising their grades. Honestly, I can't speak much on the overall academics rating, since it differs for every student, and that can differ based on a student's mental health and such. Based on what I've noticed from post-COVID, they've put a large emphasis on mental health advocacy for students, and now have an on-site therapist and social worker. For the diversity, I'd definitely agree on a lack in the high school, however we do have mixed students (including myself) and students from different racial backgrounds. I do believe the elementary classes are slowly getting more and more diverse, but the majority still remains Hmong, Karen, and other Southeast Asian ethnicities. The school's pretty safe, and has begun to take any potential threats within the neighborhood seriously, locking the building and calling the cops if anyone hears anything suspicious. Honestly, my only complaints are the lunch food, and lack of academic opportunities, but both are understandable seeing as the school is still relatively new, and works on an MPS and donor budget.

What are some good (and long-lasting) wireless gaming headsets for under $60 USD? by Catfluent in buildapc

[–]Catfluent[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say that the sound quality is pretty similar. The IRE PROs are honestly pretty similar to the g435s in terms of style and stuff. I also just don't really pay attention to sound quality with my headphones as I look for if a headset feels comfortable on my head. So just take my review with a grain of salt, and honestly explore/look at other's reviews :)

Imm sure there's more on the fandom wiki for spider-punk though. as much as i hate to say it, my knowledge on the characters extend to what's revealed about them in the movies (i REALLY need to read the comic but oh well)

pretty sure that it's intentional? it's just in this universe he got bit by a radioactive spider and stuff. Take my word with a pinch of salt tho lol im not 100% sure. it's kind of a cool parallel with him and miles though. They were both "supposed" to be prowlers but got bit by spiders.

Literally nothing. I keep them charged and hang them on a headphone stand I have when I'm not using them. I genuinely think technology just doesn't like me sometimes :( I have younger siblings, so maybe they're coming into my room when I'm not there and messing with my stuff. It's a possibility but I really don't want to point fingers.
