It seems very easy to badly design a smart home though. For example adding devices to an ecosystem using your personal email. When selling the house you’d have to remove all devices and have the new owners set up everything again one by one. Seems unavoidable until better transfer tools exist OR linking everything to a “house email” OR having everything local and leaving behind the server

If the footage has left your premises and stored on someone else’s machine (the cloud), it’s now out of your control. It could be accessed by an employee, accidentally deleted/tampered, or handed over to a government entity without your knowledge. This applies to any brand of security cameras as well as file storage providers and even VPNs

When motivated enough, governments can and do seize servers from data centers. A lot of the time companies rent them, so these vendors can’t even directly guarantee their physical safety

It appears their “Verified Solutions” program is meant to help make and promote it: https://docs.unity3d.com/2023.1/Documentation/Manual/verifiedsolutions.html

Sunshine/Moonlight maybe?

They don’t support RCS which is a deal breaker for me currently

Very happy with my UGREEN. Though it’s my first so I don’t have anything to compare it to

No doctor, no medical records though

Personally the combination of Chromium and being in beta is not appealing to me. But also I only really use Chromium browsers for development testing these days

Yes, 30 days for manufacturer defects.

Eric self-funded Core Devices and likely doesn’t want to take on what would effectively be personal liability. So I presume it will always be 30 days unless they get more leverage with their manufacturing contract (e.g. larger volumes)

Edit: Or I suppose if they earn back the initial investment and become fully sustainable, then maybe they’d be able to extend warranty and eat that cost themselves

You can install any app on it. That’s in the FAQ. I believe it means messaging apps are specifically given first-class support on the home screen dashboard and notification LED

That would be maddening. It seems wild that all of these voice assistants (LLM or no) are a decade old and still have very basic issues and limitations. I wonder if these huge companies are bad at product development or if it’s simply a doomed category?

The Xmas in Frisco station has some interesting finds. This is a good example

Pretty sure if you downloaded/updated from within the app you should be fine, as the threat is for net new installs

They’re a powerless middleman, no?

If I recall correctly they removed all “journalism” references on their website a while back and published their own page of ethics

That’s not true. The YouTube scam baiters are on the phone with the same scammers for many hours

This is because of excessive early production to curb scalpers. It’s not a fair comparison

This is run by Kidzuko, a Sony Pictures Television Kids venture. Here’s the launch press release. Personally, I’m not particularly trusting of them, just being an arm of a large company. I tried watching an episode and the tone seems pretty different. I know LeVar Burton had this Kickstarter which I guess turned into this Skybrary app after legal issues. It’s unfortunate that something so nostalgic is just another IP that can be resurrected. But, it could be far worse

Huh. I’ve heard of Risk of Rain before but when Steam recommended it to me I thought it was a JRPG

First, does any phone running a legit copy of Android count as a “certified Android device”?

Yes

How can they enforce this for apps not on the play store?

Checks will be built into the operating system and run on install attempts

Like if write my own APK will my phone just refuse to run it if I don’t go through some paperwork with Google?

Yes

How does that work?

TBD. Probably a database check

Like if they’re capable of this then why aren’t they doing it already to prevent piracy?

Piracy of what?
