The company says - and I'm not making this up - "Hi, My Name Is Panopto".

Hi, My Name Is Panopto - Panopto

September 6, 2018

Panopto /pə-näp’-tō/

Ask anyone who’s founded a business – if you’re going to hang out your shingle, it helps to have a name to put on it. So — why “Panopto”?

Panopto derives from panoptic, “the point at which everything can be seen in one view.” Panoptic in turn comes directly from the Greek word panoptos, “seen by all”.

In video, the panoptic view is the one that allows the viewer to see everything at once.

I'd love to know the actual politics of the founders not what they say to the press. If they didn't already know - a simple google would have told them how dystopic the word. But they named their company that anyway. Learning about them is way too much bother. None them have Wikipedia pages.

I watched Brazil (1985) a few days ago. Now I'm sort of disappointed an evil character didn't say "We watched you on the Panopto..."

Yeah but 1984 is when China does literally anything that helps it's people.

Bezos has unofficially leaked that he likes the cut of your jib. He needs just the right guy for Amazon's mostly top secret military DeathMachines division. It could be a huge sideways promotion for you. Space is the final frontier and Bezos wants to become a trillionaire before he dies.

Who could have dreamed these Spy™️brand cameras would be spying on us?

The university where I did my masters had panopto installed because some people couldn't attend class in person in late 2020. It was always a mess and kind of unsettling to have the camera in the middle of the classroom.
