    anker has a smart home division called Eufy that has some TERRIBLE software that ruins nice hardware like their doorbells

      Wasn’t there a privacy scandal involving them a while back?

      Edit: for reference, see this link by The Verge or this one by Mozilla and scroll down a little.

      We had a Eufy baby monitor that was so bad (replaced three times when trying to update firmware, the fourth time it died it was due to a drop) that it has actually made me think less of Anker as a company. If they stick to that being their low quality bargain brand, maybe I’ll consider Anker again, but for now I’m out.
