  • Yeah, I wasn’t going to suggest that one because it’s easy to mess up and get frustrated with if you don’t know what you are doing.

    I’ve tried it with no skill and uhh… heh

    But then I helped wrap several race vehicles, the storm windows (with frosted glitter so it looks like frost) and my own shower (underwater world from Mario) and learned how the soapy water thing actually works.

    If someone does want to try this, apply a lot of pressure. You need to squeeze all the liquid out, or any pockets will degrade quickly and fail.


  • You can get vinyl adhesive-backed sheets to get this look (and many others!). You just cut and stick them.

    If you go that route, apply to the glass fully, then use a razor blade to cut around the edges, else you’ll likely end up with skew or edges that don’t meet the corners. (Learned that trick from a vinyl graphics installer)


  • I think Mozilla has something like this as well (also a subscription).

    I’m of the opinion that, at this point, one of the best infosec things a company could do is include a subscription like this (assuming they are safe and work as intended) for all employees as part of their compensation package, much the way they sometimes provide financial consulting services or gym memberships. Maybe one of the providers will start offering enterprise packages.

    If we could purge large quantities of data on employees, it would be that much harder to use social engineering for hacking. As a bonus, if enough people got themselves purged, it would entirely disrupt the data harvesting and selling models, potentially making them worthless. That would be a huge win.

    But I don’t think many people are going to pay for it themselves. They just won’t care that much. So as a work perk, it incentivizes them to use it by being free.

    I’m not in IT or anything, but my close friend is in security, so it’s something I consider quite a bit.

    Edit to add: obviously I’d rather see it illegal to collect data and sell it and all but that’s not going to happen any time soon, and this could be a lot faster. And if it becomes a business expense, businesses might just push for legislation…
