In the future, your home will feel as safe from intruders as a state-of-the-art military base.

Cameras and sensors surveil the perimeter, scanning bystanders’ faces for potential threats. Drones from a “deterrence pod” scare off trespassers by projecting a searchlight over any suspicious movements. A virtual view of the home is rendered in 3D and updated in real time, just like a Tesla’s digital display. And private security agents monitor alerts from a central hub.

This is the vision of home security pitched by Sauron, a Silicon Valley start-up boasting a waiting list of tech CEOs and venture capitalists.

Couldn’t find a non-paywall version. Edit: found one thanks to @ireticent : https://archive.is/roxCM

    Magnetron: yes it’s extraordinarily dangerous to everyone. It’s more a case of hook it up to a carr battery, turn it on, and run away forever.

    PVC pipe comes in various sizes, and it’s a thermoplastic, so you can heat it up with a heat gun, deform it to a desired shape, then let it cool and it will remain in that shape (super interesting experiment is to then heat it up again and watch it reform to its original shape like a fucking T-1000)

    But by cutting out shapes and deforming them with heat, you can make armour for your arms, legs, ribs, and neck, the places cops love to hit with their batons. It’s lightweight, cheap, and disposable.

    I actually don’t have a website or any socials. Maybe I should start an online Zine like they used to back in the 90s.
