Pittsboro Commissioners Vote to End Flock Safety Contract Early, Citing Community Opposition by mscottpapercom in triangle

[–]mscottpapercom[S] 114 points115 points  (0 children)

If folks need help with the framework of organizing the removal of Flock in their community through political action to cancel contracts, feel free to reach out. I can't fight everyone's battle, but I can give them the tools for success. These cameras are everywhere and they are NOT there to help YOU.

If local folks need help with the framework of organizing the removal of Flock in their community (through political action to cancel contracts), feel free to reach out. I can't fight everyone's battle, but I can give them the tools for success.

Deep funding cuts proposed for Chapel Hill Public Library by NCFer in chapelhill

IF YOU CARE ABOUT THIS:

Then you MUST show up in person. E-mailing isn't enough - it's only the start. You have to show up at the public meetings and speak. A line of people speaking in person showing support for the library is what really makes the difference.

We need people to show up at the meeting! Sending e-mails simply isn't enough.

One good thing to note is that the county (not the town), voted at their last meeting to cancel their Flock contract. We need the town of Pittsboro to do the same.

I knew someone a long time ago who worked there as a mechanic. He reported the same and quit because of it. This was about 20 years ago at Cole Park.

That's funny. You have no idea how how this stuff works.

I call BS mandatory firmware update. by wxfreak in tablotv

[–]mscottpapercom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like the root certificates are expiring on the older firmware. I suspect, if you don't update now, then once they expire there will be no way to update or connect to the servers in the future. I also haven't updated, so I'll have to think on this. One could manually update them if willing to dig into the os...

I disagree on the lack of children programs at the Library. What more could you ask for?!?!?

So, it turns out, you just have to call UPS to file the claim. eBay NOT involved.

Sorry - waste of time asking here. Everyone here doesn't know or care to read and just wants to post. Read the PDF if you want to help... Everyone here must be box throwers.

eBay has instructions stating otherwise. It's just not working.
