Yeah, good luck with that for Safari users...
These are the top and bottom parts of 2 loads of that page a few seconds apart. Not private windows, no browser restart or other trickery. It can’t even settle on a CPU or screen size in the same load. It is apparently using 2 different sources for CPU type and for screen dimensions. I have not told Safari to claim that it is on Intel, that appears to be an Apple choice.

Great test to view all the identifying details you share while you're on the Internet.

Paint the Cameras Dead: Postcards for pushing back against surveillance. | Product Hunt
Not every project needs an app, an AI model or another screen. Paint the Cameras Dead is a physical set of postcards made for the street, not the cloud. Each card helps you notice surveillance cameras hiding in plain sight, ask who controls them and map what you find. Print them, share them, leave them in cafés, libraries or community spaces, and use them today. No download, no account, no update cycle. Just paper, attention and a small act of resistance.

The "not interested" feature is your friend, but users must intentionally and constantly curate their FYPs...

Oh goody, researchers use AI to build a drone that can be invisible to the human eye.
I'm sure no one will use this for stalking or peeping, nope, that would never happen.
