Readit NewsLots of ads. I might be old school but I still hold quality to something like anandtech back in the day. Something that a real human spent time on because they were genuinely interested in the topic and decided to write about it. The bar is so low these days not sure if there even is a bar.
This site is suppose to be a men's lifestyle magazine but it barely has any content that isn't just filler and fluff.
Unless you are blindly accepting parquet formatted files this really doesn't seem that bad.
A vulnerability in parsing images, xml, json, html, css would be way more detrimental.
I can't think of many services that accept parquet files directly. And of those usually you are calling it directly via a backend service.
Which is a shame, because if you questioned the quote a tiny bit and listened to the whole segment[1], it's far less damning that you make it out to be. Before that quote he even says "I believe in empathy, I think you should care about other people". He's not against empathy as a whole, he's against "too much" empathy, to the point that "you suicide yourself". That in my view, is entirely reasonable. If you had infinite empathy and were running a store, and you let yourself be shoplifted to bankruptcy, I think most people agree that would be a character flaw.
He mentions right after that "empathy is good but you need to think it through and not just be programmed like a robot".
That quote is clearly taken out of context and is specifically chosen as click/rage bait.
Like all things, nuance and context is always key.
The PR is now closed but seems like we should be striving to do better.
That said it's really hard to make long term supportable open source camera software/firmware. And when picking cameras it is even harder because the market as it stands now does not let you have it all. You need to pick what facets you really care about.
Also keep in mind even the above code is not really opensource all the way: I still had to load the driver binaries. Not sure that source will ever be released. The kernel is also old as heck.
What I do feel good about though is saving these old cameras from the dumpster if Wyze ever stops supporting them. The firmware works for simple cases: just load it up and you can start curl'ing frames. I used it in scripts to put together timelapse videos with ffmpeg. No need to screw around with authentication, phones apps, email, etc.
