Just FYI to everyone, home alarm systems are the very bottom of the priority list for police dispatchers, because over 95% of them are false alarms. Kids smoking weed in the park are literally a higher priority. If you want anyone to pay attention to your home alarm either 1) pay for guards to come check out alarms, or 2) get an outdoor alarm sounder so loud and obnoxious that the neighbors call the police to complain.

Amazon does not sell customer data, ever. When I worked there we had to take a test every year about data security policies, I could literally access Jeff Bezos' personnel file with a lower access than customer PID (personally identifying data).

aw enforcement officers will access this for their own personal use

No, cops will ***NOT*** be accessing any of this without a valid search warrant submitted through their ALERT system. More info, including the 'Ring Law Enforcement Guidelines', in my post just above yours https://hardware.slashdot.org/...

Just so that hopefully in the future you won't continue talking out your ass, here are the 'Ring Law Enforcement Guidelines'. They don't say anything at all similar to what you claim.

https://ring.com/support/artic...

Ring distinguishes between content and non-content information. We do not produce content information in response to subpoenas. We may produce non-content and content information in response to valid and binding search warrants. Requests must be submitted through the Amazon Law Enforcement Request Tracker (ALERT). . .

Ring does not accept service of subpoenas, search warrants, or other legal process except through ALERT. An individual account can be created here. Legal process must be served by uploading the appropriate documentation through ALERT. . .

Notification:Unless Ring is prohibited from doing so or has clear indication of illegal conduct in connection with the use of Ring products or services, Ring notifies an account owner before disclosing user information in response to a valid and binding legal demand.

North Korea regularly attacks the south in some way or another.

Their rational plan will be to attack simultaneously with China, in a way that draws some attention, but doesn't fully start another war. For example, they might send commandos in to kidnap the president (been done before), or they might fire artillery across the DMZ into a low population area (been done before).

If China succeeds on the battlefield, then North Korea will escalate. If China does not succeed on the battlefield, then North Korea will turn around and go home and say, "They weren't bombs, they were bread baskets." It keeps happening.

Ignoring the pablum fed to the MSM, the problem in Ukraine appears to have been that the AFU was paying for the cheap subscription for a fixed end point and hard coding GPS coordinates through a hardware hack into the device. Apparently this crack was getting popular among people who should have been paying the higher price for roaming, and Corporate IT pushed an update to the satellites so that any supposedly fixed terminal which changed satellites faster than it should got the connection downgraded. Now whether the timing was fortuitous or prompted by Rump's lovers spat with Cocaine Kiev is questionable. Now apparently the AUF are using the Pentagram's MUCH more expensive Starshield connection for their drones, which they should have been using all along (Starlink isn't registered as a weapons component, Starshield is).
