Thanks, I missed that thread.

Important detail at 19:38. ~"It's not just in schools. Retail, banks, hotels, airbnbs, hospital rooms ..."

My hot take after finishing that talk: building owners/managers are paying $1200 a piece for relatively easily hacked devices, which allow anyone with basic skills to spy on the building occupants. It is in the interest of personal privacy and freaking natsec to stop this type of idiotic thing.
