I'm pretty sure bronies have the same origin story.

Despite the issues, and knowing that a different phone would get me a much better value at a lower price, I was going to buy one of these.
...but then I saw it wasn't available in the US. So I went with a (used) Pixel 7 on ebay instead. Considering this is the 5th iteration and they still don't have a US variant, I'm not going to get my hopes up. I know Murena sells a US variant of the Fairphone 4, but apparently it uses the same exact modem, so using it in the US will result in connectivity issues.
at least I'm recycling!
Any specific reason for the mixed brands? I went 100% Unifi in my home (cameras and networking equipment) and it's amazing. Everything just works, and the apps are great. While I haven't bothered to go through the effort of setting up a VPN so that the NVR is disconnected from the internet, I know it's doable.
Switch to Unifi. It's enterprise-grade hardware and high quality software at consumer prices. If you know networking, you can set them up without connecting them to the internet while still being able to access them outside your network. If not, you can just use their free web portal to access your cameras. It's probably easier than Wyze, and it's certainly more secure.
I don't normally like to shill brands on the internet, but for these people I make an exception.
I've seen people say that the Murena version uses the exact same modem as the original Fairphone one. This means you'll get connectivity issues if you use it in the US, which is likely why Fairphone themselves don't sell in the US.
And the cherry on top is that the article is probably AI generated garbage anyways
As always, you gotta know both so that you can pick the right tool for the job.
That's fine. Sam didn't do it for the fame, he just did it for his friend Frodo.
Sam was the protagonist of the story. Frodo literally did nothing notable in the entire story. He didn't even throw the fucking ring into the volcano, which was the only job he had. Frodo was a rich asshole climbing Mt. Everest, and Sam was the sherpa who saved his ass but got none of the credit.
Right? It's a good thing this judge is asking questions.
A music folder is like a zen garden. Where's the zen in automating it all?
Are you sure? I currently have an online account (because it was easier to give other people access and I too only have these watching my yard), but I remember when I first set it up in my home I was using a local account created in the DVR's portal (a Cloudkey Gen 2). The web portal is hosted on the cloudkey, you can access it via any web browser, and the cameras will record to it without an internet connection.
I could've sworn you could host the camera server without a Unifi DVR, but apparently not. The network stuff can be though. I guess that's important to keep in mind, although I'd be surprised if they removed the ability to use the DVR without an online account.
