> municipalities get paid to put up the cameras
I've read lots of FOIAd flock contracts, and I have yet to see any municipality get paid by flock - they pay flock per-camera. Is that just a hunch, or are there cases of towns getting money from flock?
If you read Proudfoot's docs [ https://www.mralligator.com/rcx/ ] you'll find that what Lego did was half VM half native half "well, it depends".
There's a BIOS/stdlib, which in turn boots a userspace OS held in RAM ("firmware") that then executes the assembled mini-VM. However, there was nothing keeping people from rewriting the in-ram OS with something else, which led to BrickOS, jeJOS, pbForth, ROBOLAB, etc.
I spent many, MANY hours of my youth hacking on the RCX and am damn sad that there isn't currently a good replacement for it.
What kind of UserAgent is being used? This could be easily used in good faith by the sending party, then any spam blockers can remove everything from said UserAgent. If they then change their UserAgent to something generic, you know who's acting in bad faith.
