I will add, now that I have one, the only reolink doorbell that can operate an existing hardwired chime is the one that has a battery in it. I sent them feedback that this feature should be more prominent in the device comparisons for whatever good that’ll do.

The wifi one without battery won’t do it. I’m just going to move it to another door where that doesn’t really matter later when I buy the battery one next month. As it is, no hub is needed from my experience, though I did buy the 32channel NVR they sell. Thing takes up to three drives for a max of 48TB. Currently have a 4TB drive from bv-security in it.

The LA Fitness I used to go to before I moved a decade ago had carpet for most of its flooring. It was the kind of commercial carpet that came in tiles so you could peel up damaged ones to replace them.

I donate stuff at thrift stores to get coupons so I can buy more stuff at thrift stores.

I hate it so much when I put in headphones so I can power through something like doing the dishes without distraction only to have someone come in and start talking at me. It’s like, there are so many other times when I’m available. Can you not do it when it’s going to make something I don’t particularly enjoy doing take so much longer?!

In Altman’s case it’s a dimbulb.

Must be a deaf cat.

None? That’s not what I get from DuckDuckGo.

A handful of other lines but they all go to login-to-view demanding garbage like Facebook and Instagram.

Yes. https://techcrunch.com/2025/10/16/amazons-ring-to-partner-with-flock-a-network-of-ai-cameras-used-by-ice-feds-and-police/

A big tell of AI generated ICE slop is that the real vests worn by ICE officers do not just say “ICE” on them.

I can’t drink alcohol anymore because of medication. I don’t really miss it, but I wouldn’t say there were no beers I didn’t enjoy drinking.

yeah, especially any made this century. complete shite.

I don’t see anything on the page saying the doorbell requires the hub, just that it works with reolink hub or reolink NVRs. The doorbell also has an SD card slot for local storage. https://m.reolink.com/us/product/reolink-doorbell-battery/

In my late twenties, working the same job at the same Rite Aid store since 2003. I hated that job at that point; the latest person to get put in store manager position was an awful boss. I was taking classes at community college just hopping around trying to figure out what the hell I could do to move on to some other employment.

I ultimately did not quit that job until about six years later.

So shocking.

I still hate George W Bush.

GAG!

And the orchestra.

When I see ads for a movie it’s usually when it’s in the theaters which I do not go to anymore because it’s too expensive and I really don’t want to be in a dark room with a bunch of people coughing and generally being annoying for that long. So I think “that looks cool” and then forget about it before it comes out on streaming. This leads to me ultimately not watching movies at all anymore.

Yep, completely unobtainable.

Damn, I wish I could afford to buy 300TB of local data storage.
