Liked the product. The developer's blog post sounds they feel burned out and not appreciated. Might be due to their take it or leave it attitude.

Participated in beta testing for a few computer games. Did some localized translation for these games. Looked for work.

From the article here https://archive.ph/bUsFH#selection-1451.0-1451.314 "At least two of the ships suspected of causing damage appear to have dragged their anchors 100 miles or more across seafloor. A ship that dropped an anchor by accident, Toveri said, would immediately be dragged so noticeably off course that crews would scramble to bring the vessel to a stop and assess the damage." The most recent ship accused of this type of damage was also loaded with spy/electronic/surveillance gear. Once is an accident, twice is unusual, three times.....

Show me that it can scale then we'll see. So many announcements and promises are based on little tiny demonstrations on a lab bench.

All my cameras use wired access to a dedicated VLAN with no access to any other compute/IOT devices. I tried to pick a vendor that keeps the video camera footage in my country but that is something few vendors discuss and with the ubiquitous cheapness of AWS S3 it's hard to verify where your data is. I also chose not to have any cameras inside the home as a privacy measure. When using the web access tool I changed the default password and go through the users to remove people who no longer require access (house/pet/kid sitters)

I am getting used to good products becoming worse for reasons that are never explained. As long as I am not seeing ads in the interface this is still better than forgetting a password.

Best quote from the article "It doesn’t sound like they needed him as much as he needed them." Bears don't need people, just leave them alone.

This article indicates that data migrations could be done by or assisted by AI. Having done a number of them I am skeptical as most of the time I end up working with crufty stuff that is out of support. Sometimes, by the time the client is ready to migrate, the infrastructure team will tell you "We don't turn that server off as we're not sure it will boot again". I'm not even going into the custom code written by too-clever people who were short on time. That kind of code is difficult to parse for intent and can take some time and intermediate steps to solve.
