Look at the listing. There is no such caveat.

Right, but not if you didn’t. Which would be false advertising.

Then you wouldn’t be able to “answer your door from anywhere”…

I mean it’s certainly possible, it’s just a matter of whether the doorbell firmware/software will support it. And the answer is almost always no.

From the listing:

Answer your door from anywhere in the world with this remote viewing Video Doorbell.

So I assume you’re not expected to self-host this. Which means they have to run and maintain servers. And $16/person ain’t covering the cost of this device + servers indefinitely.

Honestly don’t care what they do with their store. But it’s super fucked to exert 100% control of all software on the device.

I don’t understand what that’s supposed to mean.

I certainly did see them canvassing DC. I am not “giving” anything. I’m just discussing the finances of the situation.

No it “would” not be, it is. Don’t know if you’ve noticed but our gov hasn’t cared about the constitution for a long time, and no time less than today where people are being deported and imprisoned in concentration camps with no due process.

Trump has gone on record saying he does not care about the law.

Political activism by withdrawing payment is the most powerful form of activism.

It won’t cause a noticeable drop more than having their broadcasting license revoked, which is what they were threatened with. Kimmel will likely cave.

Just the cancellation page? That’s not suspicious at all…

Check out the OP

Even if it was true, your server can’t handle a couple hundred simultaneous requests? That’s not promising either. Although at least that would be easier to fix than the real problem, which is incredibly obvious to anyone who has ever used this technology, and that’s that it doesn’t fucking work, and is flawed on a fundamental level.

That seems like something that could be fixed pretty easily, as opposed to the AI stuff that’s fundamentally flawed. You could even see it register the input, it just failed to actually pick up the call.

The neural wristband they demonstrated was actually extremely impressive and I can see a lot of different practical usecases for such a device.

Honestly I don’t get excited about any new tech outside of FOSS spaces. Tech used to be made to make your life better and now it’s almost exclusively used to exploit you.

Don’t forget about “the Metaverse”. You know, the thing he spent tens of billions of dollars on, renamed the company after, then promptly abandoned to chase AI grifting.

OMG thank you for sharing, I really enjoyed such a public fucking catastrophe.

I kinda respect them for actually attempting a live demo but I also can’t believe they were stupid enough to try it a live demo.

Then they try to use WiFi as a copout 🤣

Who could have seen this coming!?

I see a lot of liberals openly advocating for suppression of speech while clearly not understanding the ramifications of such actions.
