The fuck does it even need a subscription for, anyway? Is it not hosting the videos locally? Fuck that.

"It" being a "Doorbell with a subscription", from the message you directly replied to. In a thread about a video doorbell from Aldi.

Oh, I guess the micro sd card slot under the batteries of the doorbell camera is non-functional then, and it saves the videos into your ass, where you pulled that claim from?

Yes. Yes it does store them to the camera.

In general yes, but that's also how you easily end up on sites like insecam and shodan.

Local hosting for a security camera is a rather terrible idea, because it can be defeated by stealing or breaking the camera.

Game mechanics cannot be copyrighted

They can't, and that's why this was a patent case. And they certainly can be patented.

One of the most delicious food I've ever eaten was this meat stew my grandfather made with oxtail and tongue.
The meat was some of the most horrible stuff I've ever put in my mouth, but the vegetables and the stock was absolutely heavenly.

In this case a headcount before leaving could kinda have been feasible as the ship only had 120 passengers - often it isn't simply because modern cruise ships tend to be massive and have way too many passengers to keep track of - but from what I could understand they had an electronic system in place and for some reason she either wasn't marked as having left, or had somehow been mistakingly marked as returned.

She was noticed as missing when they did do a "headcount", during the evening dinner.

It's estimated russia spent $145 billion for the military in 2024, and the budget for 2026 is about the same - 2025 was around that as well. So that 200 billion pays for roughly 15 months of the currently 44 month war.

Gotta keep the investor money flowing.

And fittingly, both of those categories are pretty much a perfectly overlapping venn diagram because they are so overarchingly vague.
Drinking water can kill you, and if it's too hot, it causes cancer.

Therefore "drinking water" is something that can be found it both lists. And so is "not drinking water".

It's also the worlds most addictive chemical, and alarmingly nobody addicted to dihydrogen monoxide has ever been able to overcome that addiction, every dihydrogen monoxide addict dies with a 100% certainty within a few weeks if they stop taking it.

A single raspberry pi that draws maybe 3 watts, and fraction of a watt standby draw per device?

Also, 10w draw for a year is 87kWh. And you probably have more than just one light in your house.
