No, please do not start adding electrical components to furniture en mass.

If you do, I give it 1, maybe 2 generations, until furniture is partially subsidized by tech companies and it becomes niche to NOT have a "smart couch".

There's so much wrong with your understanding here...so I'll just point out that you're talking about Twitter as if it's still a public company, it's not.

Also, Twitter was never profitable, and it was likely never going to be profitable. But there's a big difference between their losses and projections before Musk, and after.

Software can detect the hardware it's being run on. I imagine that massive amounts of targeted clicks and views detected from x86, or emulated Android, would trigger fraud alerts.

Additionally, phones are cheap and use a lot less power then the x86 cluster required to replicate that many "individual" users/devices.

After unceremoniously shitting all over the Netflix Marvel shows, Disney+ is doing an about-face and literally rebooting some of them WITH the original creators i.e. Punisher Season 3, it's happening.

I was referring to those who use Wyze's default cloud storage.

SOME Wyze models are compatible with 3rd party software/firmware to switch to a selfhosting model, but again, it depends on the model and firmware version.

Using Wyze is a choice that has trade-offs and it's up to the user to understand what those are.

For example, if you aren't able, or willing, to selfhost an NVR, then accept that these situations may arise and decide which video feeds are ones you're willing to take that risk with.

Video feeds of your backyard, are significantly different then those of your bedroom, or living areas.

So...in the future you might want to consider actually reading the article before commenting.

That does seem to be the consensus.

Silent, but deadly.

I think it's more that the Firefox/Mozilla community is relatively small and has a self imposed echo chamber.

For example, when discussing mobile browsers on Android, it's a fact that Chromium based ones have significantly better security then those based on Firefox for Android. It sucks, but it's true.

Whenever that's brought up, downvotes follow.

Whether, or not, that echo chamber is so large that includes Mozilla leadership, I can't speak to. But I wouldn't be surprised.

I've just converted to polytheism and have begun praying to the Emoji God asking them to use 1,000 origami cry laughing Emojis to smite you down, so that you may die how you lived.

I hope it won't be quick, or painless, but that's up to the Gods now.
