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.

We went to a record fair yesterday and I found 13 CDs to buy, these cost me 48 CHF altogether.
So less than 4 CHF per CD and some of them were even still sealed.
I really enjoyed the experience to dig through boxes of CDs, looking at the covers and asking the sellers what kind of style the CDs were and wether they recommended it.
Now I have to rip them and add them to my digital collection.
