In this inaugural episode of the After Dark Dispatch, we discussed a company called Compology and their ridiculous quest to "reduce carbon emissions" by installing surveillance cameras in the dumpsters of several major corporations, which supposedly enables these companies to monitor their garbage dumpsters and recycling bins for fullness and improperly sorted items. No mention was made of how much carbon it takes to manufacture and deploy this garbage surveillance.

Then we listened to Silicon Slave - Offended [CC BY 4.0]

We then discussed the fact that Experian has been busted sloppily leaking Americans' credit data over the Web via their application programming interface, making every American's credit score (and more!) available to anyone with a scrap of easily-obtained data and the ability to make API calls (read: any script kiddie). Date of birth? Straight zeros will work! No word on whether API calls were rate-limited or not. I'll put my money on a big, fat "HELL NO".

We jammed out to Hypnagog - Funkdiddle [CC BY 4.0].

Then we went into a rather lengthy review of a rather disturbing but unsurprising article detailing a ridiculous oversight (?) on the part of Google in its implementation of the Google Apple Exposure Notification system which results in all sorts of data leakage regarding SARS-CoV-2 infection status, location, etc. via writes to system logs to which none of this information should EVER be written. But then, that's what you get when you're stupid enough to install any of this garbage on any of your devices.

With that out of the way, it was time for more jams. Up next was Jbraham Lincoln - Microagression [CC BY 4.0], 'cause it's super kewl to be #woke, or some shit. You better watch your microagressions, br0!

We topped it all off by officially saying good fuckin' riddance to winter with Extra Celestial Transmission - Snowblind [CC BY 4.0].

That's it for episode 1! Get ready for more, 'cause it's coming!
