Does anyone know a secret way to get a refund on a price drop (price match) on amazon? An old Slate article explained how via phone, but I just got off the phone hearing a big NO. Was told to return and repurchase the same items! 🤯 Price dropped $30ea on 4 hard drives… $120!

So far out of all the home automation devices I've connected to this Raspberry Pi, the most reliable ones have been 433mhz transmitters and ESP32s on wifi. I've been getting spotty performance of Bluetooth and Z-wave devices. Could be that the Pi isn't powerful enough, or could be because simpler is just better.

Real talk.

I cannot remember the last camera that's had me as excited as the RX100VII.

I've enjoyed cameras previously (I mean me right) but I've never had one that I went from completely "meh lets make the video due to obligation" to "HOLY CRAP" quicker.

There’s not a clear way to ‘reset’ either which makes test/dev extremely frustrating

This is disappointing, and likely a hole in any OIDC compliance. I'd expect requesting an email scope drops the email claim into the token.

Very cool to see other people working on Home Automation stuff. I'm not automating much yet. It's more like keeping track of things, like energy usage and temperature. Best project yet was getting a notification when the washing machine was done, based on energy usage measured by a smart plug. That was created with ESPHome.

My favorite style of photography is definitely the product shot. And since I tried talking all the photographers into using twitter more I might as well post them here too.

I watch quite a lot of your videos, but to be honest, I really could care less about an Olympus TG-6. For me personally, it’s the least interesting topic I’ve seen you cover. Maybe it’s not a scheduling thing and just a topic others like me aren’t interested in?

OH. So not just for motion? The sound, smoke alarm, and CO alarm toggles all go to the cloud as well. I'll share your request for universal button with the team. Sorry for my confusion!

Not competing with at all. It’s the anti-VidCon. This is a place for YouTubers to learn.

Curious how many of my twitter friends are going to @vidsummit this year… (if you ARE going, also comment below so I know who to look for!)

Thanks for your feedback! Do you have a specific link that I can send the team to look at?

To turn off cloud recording, turn off the motion detection. That's the only toggle for that particular aspect. You can still use continuous recording to a microSD card afterward.

We're releasing Wyze Cam v2 4.9.4.108 and Wyze Cam Pan 4.10.3.108 firmware upgrades today! These add support for a Wyze Sense status light toggle on the Bridge, fix a couple Bridge bugs, and fix time lapse downloading.

US-based international travelers! What phone carrier do you use for data abroad and how do you like it? With the merger of @Sprint & @TMobile I am considering other options like @googlefi or other major US carriers. Has it been seemless, is it possible to get data unthrottled?
