What did you learn today? Share it with us!

We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.

** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**



Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

Not to nitpick but Ring is owned by Amazon so it feels redundant to say Ring will be joining Amazon

[–] Headofthebored@lemmy.world 19 points 3 days ago (2 children)

If you have a Ring camera or other product, now is the time to get rid of it. Be sure and tell Amazon why.

[–] dylanmorgan@slrpnk.net 7 points 3 days ago

Nah, just print out a photo of some horrific skin condition and put it right in front of the camera.

[–] quick_snail@feddit.nl 2 points 2 days ago

And if your neighbor has one, now is the time to break it.

[–] quick_snail@feddit.nl 3 points 2 days ago

It is now a public service to destroy any Ring camera you see

[–] Seaguy05@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago

Ring will continue to enshitify their product. They've reached the.. you are the product stage of this service. All you have to look forward to are slightly better cameras every iteration, ai garbage, reduced features, and yearly price increases. Your video will be used to train models and/or sold to the highest bidder. Maybe they'll split a feature off and make you pay more for that thing you've been using.

This guy just did a privacy review of wireless security cameras. ReoLink was a good option.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 5 points 3 days ago

It feels weird up voting this

[–] B0rax@feddit.org 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Does that include cameras outside of the US?

[–] pdxfed@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Microsoft testified they have no way to prevent the US government from accessing European data that should be protected by gdpr if requested/subpoenaed by the US government.

Expect the same from Amazon.

akak: what are you gonna do about it mentality

[–] Proprietary_Blend@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Are Euphy devices infected?

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Eufy devices have never been end-to-end secured, so assume that they are.

[–] HydraBenny@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Aren't they local storage though?

[–] nogooduser@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

If the police asked me for my camera footage with a good reason I’d probably give it to them. It should be my choice though so I’m never going to buy a camera that’s not local storage.
