A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Raven, previously called GeoSpy, lets cops figure out what specific Airbnb or Zillow property a photo was taken in.

An AI company now lets cops take a photo and nearly instantly figure out what specific home it was taken in, using only clues in the photo itself, and is clearly pulling data from sites like Zillow and Airbnb.

Neither my wife nor I post photos to social media, and we almost never have people over. If we do, it’s usually folks that are equally disconnected from social media as much as we are (we have a tiny friend circle). But I’m also aware that we’re among the minority here. I deleted all of my social accounts years ago, so the tracking network for me has reduced quite a bit, but it will never be 0 in this day and age.
