LTT did a quick story on it as well during their WAN show. The time stamp is for the summary but you can go back to 27:17 if you want to listen to their whole convo on it.
Like any of us should be surprised....but hey government lets target and go after the Chinese companies that make cameras that can work without Internet and not say a word about Chinese based Eufy (cross-threading) that is sending stuff to the cloud for all to see...
Interesting. It's good to hear this take on it as well. I think the issue I have is how they plaster all over that its local only and its not. Regardless of the legitimacy of the reasons why. My opinion is just that they need to tweak the marketing to be accurate.
