From Flock to ICE, Here’s a Breakdown of How You’re Being Watched To better understand what exactly we’re looking at in this dystopian surveillance hellscape, 404 Media’s Jason Koebler and Joseph Cox joined Reddit's r/technology for an Ask Me Anything session.

From Flock's nationwide surveillance to ICE tools, we are being watched. Is there anyway to go back now?

"Police love telling each other about the new capabilities and tools that they've acquired, so this tech can spread from city to city very quickly."

White House Cybersecurity Strategy Is Light on Details, Big on Consequences The policy, which name-checks President Trump 15 times, aims to hit cyber adversaries first and 'use all instruments of national power to raise the costs for their aggression.'

This diagram shows what may be expected as the Moon enters and leaves the Earths shadow during the Total Lunar Eclipse of March 3, 2026. The Moon moves from right to left with the Northern Celestial pole beyond the top, the guide made for local circumstances in Southern California. Geographically we are well placed to see the event, and the weather prospects appear excellent. The best of luck with the weather wherever you are. Although intriguing with the naked eye as the Full Moon turns red and the skies darken with the stars coming out, any optical aid like binoculars or a small telescope would be rewarding during Totality. The distance to the Moon causes the Earth shadow to have a fuzzy outer zone, the 'Penumbra', This is entered imperceptibly at first at 12:44 AM Pacific Time, as only a little of the Solar disk is yet covered by Earth from the view of an observer on the Moon. Further into the shadow the darkening accelerates as the Sun is nearly covered for the Lunar observer. The Moon is entirely within the inner 'Umbra' zone, the shadow proper, at about 3:04 AM. From the Moon the Sun is then hidden by the bulk of the Earth. However, the Sunlight is refracted around part of Earth and filtered by the atmosphere, making a dazzling very thin 'ring' around Earth whose brightest colors produce the predominant shadow colors. Deepest into the shadow the reddest and dimmest rays make it through the thin atmosphere surrounding Earth. In essence we are seeing the light of all the sunrises and sunsets taking place on Earth at that moment. The richest range of shadow colors should be best shown at mid Totality at 3:34 AM. Then the Moon will reach the shadow edge again at 4:03 AM. thereafter the Sunlit portion will steadily overwhelm the shadow colors, and as the partial portion proceeds dawn will begin to be a factor.

Early next morning the Pacific Rim and the vast ocean it encloses will see a Total Lunar Eclipse. The Moon will pass through the Earth shadow's Southern portion, sampling the layers of shadow colors from an outer gray to subdued gold to orange and a darker more saturated red 'core'. Clear skies!
