The real plan for Amazon Ring

Honestly I don’t even care if the government is using it at this point. I’m just worried about creeps using it.
FBI already knows almost everything about you, don’t worry.
Even in the 1990s they did. My mom had a friend who was dating someone in the FBI. She told the guy that he probably won’t be able to find anything on her. Just a week later he comes back knowing basically her and her entire family just from their data bases.
So, as I said, I don’t care if the government is using it. I just don’t want private citizens to be able to record people with these. No way to avoid the government.

My new neighbors that are super loud and annoying also have a Ring. I hate it.

How have avoided a copyright strike for Running Up….?

LORA will break if Amazon ovwrloads this neat little network.

They want to use a device I've paid for that itself requires a subscription I continue to pay for and uses internet that I continue to pay for to power their surveillance network that they sell to shady organizations.
Nope.

This shouldn't even be a thing, having surveillance or feeling so unsafe, you want to be able to see who is at the door. I'm glad I live in a society where we don't need surveillance or check who is at the door, before opening. Americans must live in constant fear. It's sad. We have laws in our country, you're not allowed to point a surveillance camera into public areas or into other people's driveways. But most Ring Cameras I see, point further out than would be allowed here.

19:30 no I think you’re more credible cause you did field research. Was it sorta goofy? Yeah but we got results from it!

LOL, I din't expect that, out of all things, Star Craft, would get a shoutout in this video. I mean, the technology is interesting. I just don't like how they, (white) men in power, are most likely going to use it.

16:13 Nerd-cred regained, Phil! 😀

I loved the analogy! 😀

2:40 there's a sensitivity sensor that adjust whether or not it triggers for pets

A little disappointed that you didn't dive into the issue of data sharing with law enforcement and ICE, sometimes without even needing a subpoena. It seems really related and like an intentional oversight

Anyone curious about this should check out Benn Jordan's video series on Flock Safety surveillance systems. This goes deep and Ring is just a small portion of it.

But what do they do with sidewalk?

The idea that Amazon would spend a single R&D dollar to altruistically help you find your missing dog is absolutely hilarious.

I love IoT technology 🌟

@2:30 I used to regularly stay overnight for work, and I'm an adult, so I'd pack the giant stuffed horse I used as a body pillow. My husband would always get a picture highlighting the horse getting mashed into the trunk of my car with the question: "Is this a person?" Boy, we better hope not!

StarCraft mentioned makes my teen years make sense now!

I would like to not have this be a thing.
