My guess is that since Ring has a history of well-known collaborations with police and ICE, they wanted to re-frame their evil surveillance network as a way to save a puppy. Instead, lots of uninformed normies suddenly realized what those cameras are capable of, and had a huge negative reaction given the state of things.

👏 slow clap

This mess is by design. They pay the manufacturers (a pretty penny, I’m sure) to put it on there.

Yeah, understood. I was just saying that because it doesn’t seem technically possible now, don’t discount that it could be in the future. Whether it would be useful, that’s another debate. But I have a hard time believing it has practical uses. If it does though, the innovation will be rapid like the shift to silicon transistors (assuming it is even possible).

requires extremely complex and expensive materials, tools and physical conditions.

Counterpoint: they said the same thing when a computer was made of vacuum tubes and took up an entire room to add two digits.

You really don’t need uBO in Orion though. It has adblocking and zero-telemetry out of the box.

Anyone can share feedback

Nest is so tragic. Great independent company who made a sleek, high-end, innovative product. Bought by the most evil company* and completely enshittified. I don’t want to create more e-waste, so I still have mine and capitulated to their account demands. I almost look forward to them killing what I have now so that I can support a competitor.

*two-way tie with Meta for most evil

I’m just so cynical at this point. His car company is crap, he’s a right-wing joke, but his public company is near an all-time high. I see so many new teslas where I live, it’s so disheartening.

I believe we call that a meme stock now

I want to believe. But, trillion dollar pay package.

One would think, but this has gone on way longer than I could ever imagine.

The problem is, there is seemingly no end to his bullshit that people will gleefully swallow. I bought it for a while, I loved the idea of an idyllic future. Unfortunately, one must deliver on that at some point. I was always willing to to accept the bullshit on the premise that it would happen at some point. However he’s lost the plot to his own hubris and idiocy. Yet somehow, he’s still able to con enough people to prop (and grow!) his meme stonk.

Especially a meme stock like tesla

Man, that would be a showstopper for me. I wish they would wake up

Well I blame them for making a terrible decision there. Europe does a lot of things right, this is not one of them.

Some, especially for “small web” sites.

I’m with you, I make it at home and it’s much better and I don’t waste hundreds of dollars a month on it like a lot of people do. What’s a better $5 comparison, a smoothie? Nah, that’s also better at home. How about a scoop of ice cream.

Ok, two coffees.
