There is always a discussion about how to make it(legally) more difficult for users to do something you don't want them to do. It's not paranoia, it's reality.

They upload a cryptographic hash of the image and match it to known content. Also, this is true of nearly every smart TV available for purchase and quickly being integrated into projectors. If you want to turn off the functionality, you will have to go through the feature sets of the devices.

I have trouble finding a player that organizes by album. I just want to play to a sorted list of albums in order. No player does this.

The police officers with the exception of when they were called upon to don riot gear have been very pleasant. They have been generally keeping to themselves and helpful to anyone who asked(as far as I saw).

While I'm generally not a fan of LEOs, it is clear that problems being caused here, now are being caused by the city administration.
