No apology for Wyze's breach, but only 1500 of the possible alerts for not-your-home were clicked on/viewed. Gotta love sensational headlines.

Also, if you're using a cloud-based camera for private spaces? Well, that's kinda a decision you made for yourself.

Genuinely don't comprehend why anyone uses anything other than Firefox. FF + uBlock makes the internet so much better

Ahh, after all this time, the Socratic Method still reigns

Since we're all dummies and you know the answers, please go ahead and explain how Google goes about selling heavily targeted ads to uniquely identifiable groups, but that they also are not "selling data".

Are we being massively pedantic and saying that it's not actual user data, but rather leveraging said data to sell ads to the anonymized targeted groups, who are actively tracked by Google around the internet so ads can be served up at opportune times in their browsing?

Because that dumb argument is like saying Oxford Dictionary doesn't sell words, they sell definitions; or that McDonalds doesn't sell beef, they sell hamburgers.

Sorry if I miscommunicated. No, they're not selling your home address. But the idea that they aren't monetizing your personal data aggressively is laughably wrong and heavily documented.

Ah, I see the Free Speech Absolutist is hard at work again. Did these guys report on just how drug-addled Elon was the other day, or was it some other piece of fact-based journalism that got them booted?

Oh, by all means, go nuts

Bunch of loser crybabies wondering why they've been excluded when everyone hates their stupid asses for being objectively awful humans.

Eat shit, TERFs. Go die in a ditch, Nazis.
