@WyzeHelp Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately that is the first thing I did but I have not been able to get a direct answer to this question hence the desperate part. Was hoping for a connection to a resource who knew how to debug the flash process on this camera.

@otterbook We recommend reaching out to our support team for this so that they can assist you with this. You can contact them through support.wyze.com.

@WyzeCam Any tips on manually flashing an outdoor v2? Tried unzipping latest from release notes page and renaming folder to sd_update but it does not start an update. Trying manual update because new camera refuses to pair with base station so a bit desperate.

@shanselman Now show all of the application updates yet to be installed on the phone. That also makes me twitch.

I don’t know how my 17 year old functions in this world

@BethAdeleLong Hi Beth, I have a question about an article you co-authored. Would you mind following me back so I can DM? Thanks!

@LeCodeNinja I was trying really hard not to eavesdrop but it was like catnip.

@otterbook Please tell me it was FORTRAN vs COBOL.

I like to do my long form writing in a coffee shop, but Dude in the booth behind mine: if you don’t stop talking animatedly with your buddy about the differences between how certain coding languages handle certain situations, I’m not going going to get any work done.

Sometimes when I’m at coffee shop I like to give my name as “Arugula” because it is so much more fun to say out loud.

Everyone in the world needs to watch this IMMEDIATELY. NO EXCEPTIONS

The moment where the microwave popcorn bag starts to open up—that’s one of my favorite stop motion sequences.

Tribal knowledge at a company is a strange thing. Want to set up SSO for an application? Well, you will need to talk to enough elders until you find the one who was able to successfully appease the goat god four years ago. Hope that person wrote some notes down in an email.

Every few years I feel the need to recalibrate my understanding of #DevOps .

I’m pondering the job title “value engineer” which I recently encountered. Actually, I’m mostly pondering what that makes the rest of us.

Here’s my favorite crash dump excerpt (pasted verbatim): Failed to create CSSymbolicatorRef - corpse still valid ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

In my experience, the importance or urgency of a piece of postal mail is inversely proportional to the number of times they print things like “Important” or “Urgent” on the envelope.

I’m a person with many skills and talents. I have a wealth of experience. But if you would like to hire me to put a fitted sheet on a bed I’m afraid I’m going to have to respectfully decline your offer.

Things I forgot about traveling, a series: Airports don’t know what to do when an airplane arrives early at a gate. “Whoa, there’s a plane out there, how could we have known it was coming? We’d better go find someone to drive the jetbridge now.”

On a walk I saw someone put out a sink for disposal. I don’t know who they are, but I already love and appreciate them.

Things I forgot about traveling, a series: Receiving great music recommendations from my @lyft driver. Today: Lebanese classical music (Fairuz was the only Lebanese singer I knew before my driver educated me)

Me: Alexa, add spaghetti to my shopping list Alexa: spaghetti added to your shopping list. By the way, I can teach you how to become an actuary or perform the role of Brünnhilde in the Ring cycle, just say…

@statico Ah, yes, but what I bet most people don’t know is how this was made.
