I think you're confused by the purpose of that statement. When the authors say not to use it for anything important, they're basically trying to waive liability (informally). It's kind of like how every open source license has a statement like:

THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED “AS IS”, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED ...

If you use an open source project for air traffic control software, and a bug causes a bunch of people to die, that's your fault, not the author of the software. The CLIP people are essentially saying that you shouldn't use their software to build something that requires a lot of accuracy since it probably wasn't designed to be as accurate as you need it to be.

But what I'm wondering is why you're being so dramatic about this. You're claiming that it's highly dangerous/reckless/risky to use it, yet hand waving over the why.

Are you a lawyer? This feels like FUD.

I strongly advise anyone against using this software in production, as you will be on the hook for anything this software doesn’t catch.

So if you don't use this software, you're not on the hook for the pictures that this tool doesn't catch?

Are you sure? I currently have an online account (because it was easier to give other people access and I too only have these watching my yard), but I remember when I first set it up in my home I was using a local account created in the DVR's portal (a Cloudkey Gen 2). The web portal is hosted on the cloudkey, you can access it via any web browser, and the cameras will record to it without an internet connection.

I could've sworn you could host the camera server without a Unifi DVR, but apparently not. The network stuff can be though. I guess that's important to keep in mind, although I'd be surprised if they removed the ability to use the DVR without an online account.

I think this would be more useful if it separated the results by platform (android, ios, web). Sync is the top result, but it's android exclusive.

Don’t worry about channel creators losing money. It may seem like a dick move, but it’s the right thing to do. When channels see that they aren’t making money on Youtube ad revenue, they’ll be forced to either find another source of income (merch, patreon, alternate site, etc), or quit.

That’s better for you, them, and society as a whole since it reduces the power of a monopoly owned by an evil company.

I wonder, if you rip your dick off at a bowling alley in front of teenagers, does that count as a sex offense?

I'm pretty sure bronies have the same origin story.

Despite the issues, and knowing that a different phone would get me a much better value at a lower price, I was going to buy one of these.

...but then I saw it wasn't available in the US. So I went with a (used) Pixel 7 on ebay instead. Considering this is the 5th iteration and they still don't have a US variant, I'm not going to get my hopes up. I know Murena sells a US variant of the Fairphone 4, but apparently it uses the same exact modem, so using it in the US will result in connectivity issues.

at least I'm recycling!

Any specific reason for the mixed brands? I went 100% Unifi in my home (cameras and networking equipment) and it's amazing. Everything just works, and the apps are great. While I haven't bothered to go through the effort of setting up a VPN so that the NVR is disconnected from the internet, I know it's doable.

Switch to Unifi. It's enterprise-grade hardware and high quality software at consumer prices. If you know networking, you can set them up without connecting them to the internet while still being able to access them outside your network. If not, you can just use their free web portal to access your cameras. It's probably easier than Wyze, and it's certainly more secure.

I don't normally like to shill brands on the internet, but for these people I make an exception.

I don't think that's what the person you're replying to meant, but to answer your question, yes you can via Wine (or Proton, I guess)

It may sound glib

I prefer KDE, but to each their own.
