We know Java and a bunch of other really cool things besides 
browsers and network protocols too.

Regarding uploading binary content, make sure the metadata is 
sanitized if it's a phone or camera picture, or I'll have your 
exact home address and a picture of you standing in the front 
door from a neighbor's doorbell cam.

Doorbell cams are the best stalking tool since drones.  Most 
people are too fucking stupid to install them correctly and they 
erroneously believe cell phone and home WI-FI are secure.

Write this on the back of your hand.  Bill The Handy man doesn't 
know shit about wireless camera systems and networking.
