    the whole premise of OP is that this monitors people, and many organizations use TOTP, which one could also use without internet connections or phones AFAIK.

    I’m in academia and I wish this is implemented more. Data breaches are getting quite common, and Github is so entwined in software engineering that it is critical to increase security measures.







  • this is an interesting story but for those who prefer to read, here the article linked in the video description:

    https://thefourth.media/apartments/

    I also ran this through smmry to summarize. Below is the result:

    The Apartments With No Entrance A shady land sale has left the residents of Sea Park Apartments locked in a decades-long land dispute, with no control over their own homes.

    These apartments are “Enclosed” in more ways than one: The original developer of the apartments sold the apartment’s carpark and common areas - which surround the apartment blocks - to an individual, leaving residents in the unusual position of having their homes completely encircled by someone else’s private land.

    Built in the 70s and completed in the early 80s, Sea Park Apartments is one of the earliest apartments in Petaling Jaya, if not the earliest, constructed at a time when most residential developments in the area still involved landed properties.

    This meant residents had no way to access their homes without first trespassing on private property, and no control over the common facilities sited on that private land.

    The individual who purchased the disputed lands is Yap Say Tee, who once managed a hotel owned by the developer, and was earlier approached by the developer to manage the car park at Sea Park Apartments.

    With the developer’s sale of these lands to Yap, the rules of the game changed: The developer is no longer the registered owner of the disputed lands nor responsible for addressing the remonstrations of the residents, which reached a peak in 2013.

    With the facilities on private land, access road on private land, the property value will go down, and residents will have no agency.
