@iAnonymous3000 Thoughts on SimpliSafe? Maybe not ideal but perhaps not as bad as Ring/Nest etc?

It should NOT be this hard to buy a home security camera that does not spy on you. Seriously. A friend recently asked me, “Hey Professor, what’s the best home security camera setup?” My first answer was what NOT to buy. I would not buy Ring. Not just because Amazon owns it. Because Ring has a terrible privacy track record, and it is the clearest example of the larger problem: cloud first surveillance hardware pointed at your home, wrapped in convenience, subscriptions, and privacy marketing. A home security camera should be simple. It sees motion. It records video. It stores footage. It alerts you when something happens. That should be the whole relationship. Instead, the mainstream camera market became a swamp of cloud accounts, mobile apps, subscriptions, AI detection, vendor storage, remote access, law enforcement integrations, “smart” features, and privacy claims most buyers cannot verify. Ring, Nest, Arlo, Wyze, Blink, eufy, and the rest are not just selling cameras. They are selling surveillance devices. And “encrypted in transit” is not the answer. That phrase mostly means a random person on the network should not be able to read the stream. Good. Necessary. Nowhere near enough. The questions that matter are: - Can the vendor read the footage? - Can they decrypt it? - Can employees access it? Can clips be indexed, retained, disclosed, subpoenaed, trained on, or exposed through some internal tool? Because a porch camera is not harmless just because it is outside. It can reveal when you leave home. When you return. Who visits. What gets delivered. Which cars are present. Which neighbors pass by. Which kids are outside. What routines your household follows. And often it captures audio from people who never meaningfully consented. The default expectation should be simple: The vendor cannot see your footage. Not “we promise we do not look.”/ “we use military grade encryption.” CANNOT. eufy marketed privacy and local storage, then got caught with cloud accessible thumbnails and streams. Wyze had incidents where users saw thumbnails or camera events from cameras that were not theirs. Ring settled with the FTC after allegations that employees and contractors had excessive access to private customer videos, that customer videos were used to train algorithms without consent, and that weak security allowed attackers to access cameras and recordings. So what did I tell my friend? If you are already in the Apple ecosystem, start with HomeKit Secure Video. It is still cloud storage. But Apple says the video is end to end encrypted, and the privacy boundary is much clearer than a typical vendor readable camera cloud. That is probably where I would start for an average person who wants outdoor cameras. Not perfect. Just a much better default. For everyone else, I would ask a few basic questions before buying anything. - Can it record locally without the vendor cloud? - Can it keep working if the company shuts down the service? - Can remote access be turned off? - Can audio recording be disabled? - Can retention be limited? Is end to end encryption actually on by default? Can the vendor see the video, thumbnails, events, or metadata? If the answer is unclear, assume the answer is bad. Curious what the privacy community would recommend.

Topps jumping from $580 to $900 on Cosmic NBA price from pre-order to release seems good for pre-order EQL winners and otherwise pretty discouraging, that is a massive hike for release day

@StoolBaseball So there’s no clause that allows the Braves to walk away if a player fails to pass a PED test?

@Braves If the Braves don’t use this opportunity to make accessing in-market Braves games for all of Braves country easier and more affordable, it will be a massive failure. Watching the Braves in-market should be no harder than subscribing to MLBTV or any other streaming service.

@cboyack I love this. As a former homeschooled kid (and now father of 2 young kids), I think there are some great ways to do this. We’ve already got The Creature from Jekyll Island (Tuttle Twins version) teed up for that conversation!
