Surveilance cameras aren't necessarily a bad thing

This one won't automatically be a spy for any agency that asks tho, so that's cool...

Sousveillance

The only thing AI is used on in this project is strictly for user interface work (our website, the front-end for the mobile app, the front-end for the deploy tool). We carefully vet anything like that.

I think you may have misinterpreted my "automations, systems, and AI" (you put it in bold), that is intended to show my experience in machine learning (example: I spent 4 months in a lab helping improve the accuracy of wearable ECG abnormality detection). I do not rely on LLMs.

We're exploring Home Assistant integrations for the next update.

Unfortunately, iOS does not allow us to publish in 20ish countries, which are all Europe-based. This is due to certain legislation.

Besides, it's just a good way of doing it. For the people that want to DIY: here's the instructions. For people that just want the thing: here's the payment instructions.

Sometimes I just want the thing.

Yeah, free, open source is fun, but we should also just support companies that have good ethics and want to make enough money to earn a living and keep making good products that respect people.

No good deed goes unpunished. The sense of self entitlement some people display is staggering. FOSS project? Well, you should have done x y or z.

Also, I gave you $3 via Ko-fi, so you need to provide customer support in perpetuity and come to my house and install it. And heaven forbid you try to recoup costs!

Projects don't just die out - a lot of them are killed (one way or another). For example, I had a fully specced out FPGA design that would capture the signal from Wii GPU and do internal upscaled resolution (think: like what dolphin emulator does but with actual hardware) not just post process sharpening. Total cost under $100 and some know how.

The amount of flack I copped for it made me shut down the github and work on it for myself. Once it's perfected, I may post about it again but I sure as shit am not compelled to deal with the fucking peanut gallery anymore.

I see this with open source hardware a lot.

People want to get atoms for free. That doesn't work. Give your money to companies like this.

I used to think Reddit users were too negative. Then I joined Lemmy.

I ended up going with Unifi (G4 Pro Doorbell) after my test-run with Reolink went... poorly. It's technically still 'big tech' but all the parts are on my property and my control, and (at least for the doorbell, that's all I've got so far) it works nearly-perfectly with HA (I can't get custom screen messages to stick when assigned through HA).

I guess its just us in here then, among these AI bots.

Those 11 commits were from a rebase-and-merge PR, which changes the date from the original commit. Notice how there's a week gap between those and the prior commits on the main branch.

Use at your own risk.

What an amazing conclusion, and the best part is, no matter what you've been waffling about before - it's always right. Can we stop calling random things AI slop and telling to be careful bEcAuSe iTs Ai sLoP, and go back to being cautious until something has been reviewed properly? Being careful with random stuff from GitHub you install and run in your private network?

Your whole comment may have been AI slop as well. "From a quick glance at the repo", you should be careful! Thanks, Sherlock.

Yes I don't know how people survived before door cameras?
It's like these people complaining about Bezos but always find an excuse to keep using Amazon.
