    The fuck does it even need a subscription for, anyway? Is it not hosting the videos locally? Fuck that.

    “It” being a “Doorbell with a subscription”, from the message you directly replied to. In a thread about a video doorbell from Aldi.

      Local hosting for a security camera is a rather terrible idea, because it can be defeated by stealing or breaking the camera.

      This is what I replied to with concern for storing security camera data locally. You didnt say this camera or Ring cameras, so your comment seems pretty fucking stupid and generic changing the subject to be about local storage for all security cameras.
