How AI Watermark Mandates Could Unmask Journalists Who Never Touched AI

Imagine a scenario where a documentary filmmaker, in the course of making the documentary, captures some damning footage of corporate malfeasance, which she wishes to share with an investigative reporting organization anonymously. Should we be concerned that mandates on AI watermarking might reveal who she is, even if she's not using AI at all? Last...

Flock (Again!) Activates A Camera System A Town Had Voted To Shut Down

The easiest way to tell that Flock Safety doesn't really care that its massive network of ALPR (automatic license plate reader) cameras is being abused by cops to stalk their exes and harass residents is to judge it by its actions. When confronted with court case after court case detailing these allegations (and those are...

Viaduct Wrapped '25

This year, I discovered viaduct , a service to track train rides. Since then, I've been tracking my train rides and I've imported most of the train rides I could remember or had some registry of. They now came up with a "wrapped" of this year and it's quite nice to look at!

An Update on Processing Bosch's eBike Flow FIT Files

Over two years ago, I wrote an article where I laid out a few issues with Bosch's eBike Flow app. The first one being that their Apple Health integration is lacking, and does not synchronize information about power and cadence. The second was that their exported FIT files are malformed and cannot be properly imported anywhere. Sadly, it's still the case.

Tracking Train Rides With Viaduct

It is no secret that I enjoy tracking things, whether it is books I read, things I watched, or places I have been. When I travel, I track my flights, and that is, as far as I know, something a lot of people do. It also means that there are many tools out there for it. But when it comes to trains, I have never found a very reliable solution... until now!

GymBook: A Simple and Easy Gym App

Back in March, I joined a gym for the first time. My goal was to be able to overcome some issues I was having, as well as start consistently going to the gym. So I choose to work with a personal trainer to "force" me to go every week, and think of what exercises I have to do. That has worked out well, and I'm quite happy.

Processing Bosch's eBike Flow FIT Files

I have recently acquired a new - and my first - electric bike from Gazelle, a "staple" Dutch brand, and it is powered by a Bosch motor. Bosch has made this app, eBike Flow, which allows you to connect to the bike and use it to track your complete bike ride. In this article, I am going to go over some of the issues I have had and how I have been trying to solve them.

These Eyes Are Trackin’

Pondering the tale of Gator, a company that created a password manager way back in 1999, but ruined goodwill by going full spyware. (Oops, I mean adware.)
