There are companies that advertise their products doing everything locally. Eufy for one. Although, be warned that anything that sends you a push notification must send SOMETHING to the cloud. People lost their minds a year or two ago when someone pointed out Eufy’s push notifications send recognized faces to th cloud as part of their push notifications. Eufy did add a warning and the option to disable, or made it opt in I think.
Anyway, the point of all that is it’s all a matter of degrees. Ring and Nest rely heavily on the cloud to process your video and do just about everything. But there are local solutions with varying degrees of local.

Yeah, most of those cameras don’t do the machine vision tasks on the device. They stream video to the server which processes it faster.

- Comment on Kiss goodbye to 8K as support from the TV industry 'dwindles' 2 weeks ago:
I can 100% tell the difference between 1080p and 720p. I can tell with 1080p and UHD as well, but I honestly think that has more to do with the size of the compression artifacts. Compared to the image.

Lol, a pair of 8GB (16 total) sticks went from $150 already over priced to $180 in two days. So unless you’re buying pre-built it’s going to be way more than 5%.
I bought two NVME SSDs earlier this year, now it costs as much for one as I paid for two of them.
Fuck this, build state owned foundries and sell capacity cheap whenever this shit happens.

This is not kaleido, this is Spectra 6 which is unusable for e-readers as it’s meant for digital signage. It takes as much as 30 seconds to refresh a spectra 6 screen.
- Comment on Aura introduces a $499 e-ink digital photo frame that lets you go cordless 3 months ago:
Be warned, this market is currently exploding with options so if you are considering one SHOP AROUND THOROUGHLY. There are only going to be a handful of different screens all made by the same two companies, so the other features and app functionality will be how these are truly differentiated.
