That’s what I was getting at. If they don’t post the salary, it goes to the bottom of the list and if I apply and get told the range in a phone screening, I stop trying if it’s under my pay by more than $15,000 but still do reply but half-heartedly.

Leading with the pay keeps from wasting time and theirs.

    Reolink claims their battery doorbell can last 300 days on one charge and Eufy sells a doorbell with 2 batteries so you can swap out without forgetting to put the battery back in after it charges. If you’re in a townhome, interference could definitely be a problem and Reolink can use 5 GHz wireless which, for a townhome, should be able to get to the door.

    Not trying to sell you on a video doorbell for sure, but if you like the idea, I think there’s options that work a bit better than Amazon can do.

    Personally, I have UniFi Protect because I bought them second-hand from work. I REALLY do like them, but the 75 percent discount made it even CLOSE to my budget.

    If I had to start again, Reolink and Eufy would be the two I’d compare. Eufy seems easier for my family, but Reolink would be my goal.

    Reolink, Eufy, and UniFi Protect (if you’re into that sort of thing).

    Eufy is the closest to Ring (it’s not perfect, still some concerns, but miles ahead of ring and gives at least a bit more control of your data). It’s convenient to use for sure.

    Reolink is ideal if you don’t want to buy into a closed ecosystem and less convenient but probably the most willing to let you control your data.

    UniFi would be great, but you get locked into their ecosystem from the jump. Data is all yours, forever, but you have to exclusively use their (overpriced) hardware. And I believe the doorbells need wiring to work. Whether old school 2 wire doorbell wiring, Ethernet cable, or even a USB C cable in the wall.

    I’d encourage you to look at XTEINK. They kind of started this “baby e-reader” trend and the bonus with their stuff is there’s custom firmware available that makes it SO MUCH easier to use.

    Boox has been pretty not-transparent on their intention to support custom firmware and……… I’ve used some of their android based devices. They’re nice, but their attempt at “simple” for an e-ink display leaves a lot to be desired.

    Microsoft 365 implementation of passkeys is sacrilegious somehow.

    It requires only the Authenticator app from Microsoft and can use nothing else to create the passkey. The way this is implemented on iOS means that Authenticator comes up as an autofill option BUT IT ONLY SUPPORTS M365 and is useless for anything else. Leave it to Microsoft to take an open standard and bastardize it to the point of it being MORE CONVENIENT to just type a damn password.

    Oh you complain now, but as soon as someone hijacks a train and steers it off course into a building, you’ll be begging TSA to grope you before letting you cram yourself into a reasonably spacious train seat that a public entity runs and has no reason to maximize the number of bodies it can cram into one area to create more shareholder value.

    (I’m not crying you are……..)
