But it’s a little sad, too. How in the hell could so many Americans choose a weird malignant narcissist over nice, normal people like Tim Walz and Kamala Harris?

They're using Ring cameras to surveil people and trying to sell it as a way to track down lost pets.

Unless some info came in that I missed, the last I heard was that the media was lamenting the fact that the cops wouldn't be able to get any camera data because she no longer had a subscription to the cameras on her house.

But then, lo and behold, it turns out that there is data after all, which is rather coyly being described as "residual data" that they just happened to "find" on a backup server somewhere.

Now, if that data helps get Nancy Guthrie back, that's great. But that doesn't change the fact that once you install a company's cameras on your house -- hardware that you pay separately for -- then if you stop paying their subscription, you no longer have access to the data from those cameras.

But apparently the camera company does. They keep recording, and storing, the data from your cameras -- the ones you paid for, that are attached to your house -- even though you don't have access to that data.

Seems pretty sketchy to me.

Anyone with a Ring camera might want to look at the terms of the subscription with a magnifying glass.
