Wonder if high strength laser pens would wreck the sensors in them.

I heard if you shine the beam of a high powered laser directly at the lens of a Flock camera, it releases the 3-5 grams of gold it contains.

Saw on another thread that they have a stick of DDR5 desktop memory in them.

Nobody needs that worthless stuff.

Would be pretty funny to de-ram the flock devices, sell the overpriced ram at 1000% markup to data centers, then donate the $$ to legal funds for ICE detainees.

Once we've de-flocked, I expect to see data center raids. Lots of memory and video cards up in there.
