Tech legal expert Eric Goldman wrote that a victory for the plaintiff could be considered “a dangerous ruling for the spy cam industry and for Amazon,” because “the court’s analysis could indicate that all surreptitious hook cameras are categorically illegal to sell.” That could prevent completely legal uses of cameras designed to look like clothes hooks, Goldman wrote, such as hypothetical in-home surveillance uses.

    Neither here nor there, but suction cup towel hooks in the kitchen are amazing. Dropping every towel on the ground every time you open the oven and then pretending they’re clean enough to dry your hands is just silly. Amazon should be culpable for selling tailored voyeurism tools.

          You walk around the kitchen with muddy boots? I have house slippers like a civilized person. I also don’t live in a bubble and I don’t sweat the small stuff.

            No, I usually go barefoot. And I have three kids and two cats. I don’t keep my home to model standards, no. I live there.

            I don’t know about the rest of it but house slippers?!? You can’t get away with just slipping that in there. Why do you have shoes for your house?!?!? How dirty do you keep it in there??? 🤣

        Cleaner than the overwhelming majority of kitchens. Most people are just gross and don’t realize it. You drop a piece of food on the ground, you wash it to get the hair and dust off. You drop a towel on the ground several times while handling food and somehow the same doesn’t apply. It’s cognitive dissonance.
