"What are you going to believe, the writers of a tech magazine

I used to read Wired back in the day - when it still was a tech magazine. It stopped being that a long time ago - it's been a silly, un-serious left-wing rag for many years now.

If you have a package delivered to your front door, ask the sender to write “Work Boots” on the box.

Why is that? is it because thieves come from that segment of the population that thinks that laws shouldn’t apply to them?

Ring cameras stink for the tech value proposition, not these feature attempts. There are far better choices and camera ecosystems out there for less, with higher quality. Ring is analogous to AOL.

What a coincidence. I put up a ring doorbell yesterday. A perp would have to be pretty close to the camera to set off the motion detector recording. It’s not like it’s recording 7x24.

I think Wired is bringing profiling again because of the Soros incited black crime wave. Virtually every perp caught on security cameras is a black.

You’ll be very surprised to learn that Wired writer Adrienne So lives in Portland, Oregon.

Gee, I thought The Ring might catch criminals in a given area and neighborhood - or deter them from committing crimes such as home invasion, catalytic converter thefts (a massive problem in my area), robberies or porch pirating.

But that thinking is Hate Thought and Racist.

There was a car jacking recently - the car jackers ended up in my neighborhood on my quiet street where they abandoned the car and ran.

Cops went up and down the street asking neighbors if they had video surveillance. Seems like they might have wanted to catch the perps - and video surveillance footage sure would have helped.

I’m remembering why I let my longtime subscription lapse.

Same here. One by one they all get the woke cancer. It is amazing how far back it goes. At one time Scientific American was a respected science publication then the leftists infected it. Same with the Smithsonian Institute. Oxford, Harvard, MIT they all fell.

Thanks, knowing she lives in Portlandia is all you need to know about her.

Adrienne So, the "Senior Associate Reviews Editor" for 'Wired', graduated from the University of Virginia with bachelor's degrees in English and Spanish. She lives in Portland, Oregon.

She's just another hack who found out that the only way she can make a buck is by race hustling and virtue whining to Leftists reading a technology "culture" rag.

Clearly 'Wired' isn't a technology site since many technology sites host advertisements from companies selling home security systems and they would never let this bum affect their advertisers.

Then why are the local, state and Federal governments forcing the taxpayers to buy millions of these cameras to place on THEIR property? This article is FOS.

What I like best about systems like The Ring is I can answer the door from inside the safety of my own home, I can see who is on my front porch - or from far away, such as when I’m on vacation - the person on my doorstep doesn’t know that I’m not home.

We used one on my mother’s empty home before we sold it - I was able to confront anyone who came to the door for whatever reason from almost 60 miles away and ask what they wanted.

There’s more than one video on YouTube showing Ring-type doorbells foiling criminals. One guy saw a couple slicing open his packages. When he told them to stop it, they jumped and then ran away, the lady to the left, the man to the right. Couldn’t help but laugh when the lady sheepishly appeared on the camera again, as she’d gone the wrong way.

Degrees in “England and Spanish”. For a (so called) “tech” publication ?

...so why is it that we’ve all seen so many people caught by door cameras?

I had a friend that lived in Oregon (now deceased too soon.)
He said the tv show of the same name was spot-on for the wokw crazies out there.
