A LLM that does not understand that you can’t avoid being seen by a ring camera by ‘approaching from a blind spot. ‘
I mean its perfectly conceivable for any camera to have a blind spot. The lens can only see so much. Heck given its a Ring camera its almost certainly on a wireless connection so its trivial to briefly disrupt the connection if you're okay with violating FCC regulations
the cans would not be in a blind spot
HOA are such a crazy concept. There is no such thing in Europe.
We Germans sadly have owner's associations in appartment buildings that can pull similar shit with the house rules, and also crazy restrictive building codes in some places, dictating how your driveway is allowed to look etc.
Am in US. I will NEVER own a house with an HOA. NEVER
Why not both? 🤣
Of course there are home owners associations in Europe. They're just not crazy.
Look up the word bünzli
Condo buildings I saw things. Did you know that you can stuff a keyhole with glue and human feces?
Challenge accepted, I just need to find a step ladder to reach!
OTOH, your town planning councils tend to be a lot more restrictive.

Fake but still kind of funny.
Imagine being so fucking basic you care about trash cans being visible from the street.
HOA zombies are a plague
Its not about the trash cans, its about making sure your neighbours know YOU are calling the shots. If it wasnt the trashcan it would have been the grass a half-inch too high, or the paint on the door chipped slightly, or gravel leaving the premises, or dirty windows.
Yeah, basic as fuck.

grass too tall

didn't respect mah athoriteh

Weird request, but okay.
MY EYEBALLS ARE MELTING

Not HOA but similar. I was living in a different city during covid. The city closed the outdoor parks in the poor and working class neighborhoods, the rich folk parks remained open.
They started to wrap the swings at the park around the top bar. I'd unwrap them each day and that went on for about two weeks. Then they went to zip tying the swings together so they couldn't be used. So I would cut the zip ties each day. This went on for another few weeks. Then they brought a sign post and a sign saying the park was closed and using the swings was prohibited. I dug the sign post out and threw it in the woods. Then they chained the swings together with a pad lock so I went to harbor freight and bought very heavy duty bolt cutters and lopped the chain off. That daily chain lopping lasted a week or two then they just took the swings away. I debated about buying swings and attaching them but figured the gambit went on as long as it should have and called it. I had fun.
Meanwhile the whole time the kids in the rich neighborhoods could swing to their daily content.
I love it. Perhaps it would have been more effective to just do whatever they did to the swings at the other parks? Either way it's good stuff
My park was close to my house and it was closed by ordinance, the other rich ones were not. There is no difference in the parks at all other than the property values in the neighborhoods in which they sat. I wasn't going to go to city hall and complain since the mayor and council people were all from the rich neighborhoods. Rule of law is downwards in our class based society.
The difference in the swings in the other parks were that they were surrounded by rich people

Good effort! Hopefully some of the local kids got to enjoy the swings after your heroics each day, & that the council/city eventually put them back after restrictions loosened again.
They did eventually, I think it took more than a year. It was ridiculous.
I don't believe it... Moving a welcome mat when the guy has a camera doorbell? C'mon...
This is easily accomplished with a fishing rod. I also don't believe this, however.
Even the trash cans. Just...put the trash cans in actual view of the camera? How would you buy a camera just to watch your trash cans and then not actually watch the trash cans with it?

The term Gaslighting gets thrown around a lot, but if this story were actually real it would be the perfect modern day example of it.

Blind spot so big the cans are there too which defeats the purpose of the camera. Got it.
