Until the Chinese government penalizes these Chinese companies for these insecure practices, they'll continue to be sold as is. China doesn't need to care about Chinese made products sold for export apparently.

> made by an equally obscure manufacturer, YiQingTeng Electronics, in Shenzhen, China.

Is this what is meant by "Shenzhen Speed"? Dump all safeguards and get any piece of crap out the door as soon as possible? This comment isn't directed specifically at Shenzhen, as other parts of the world do the same thing and call it "Move fast and break things."

Dropping engineering standards may increase short term profits, but it erodes people's trust in the world around them when everything "sort of works".

There's an argument that this low level continuous corrosion does more long-term damage than obvious safety flaws that are serious enough to prompt corrective action.

Journalists have no shame when it comes to making clickbait headlines. Feel like an idiot for falling for it.

Not really a problem. Your children have no expectation or right to privacy in public.

How about your children?

How about when they're not in public, but are at home?

Lol. Apparently nobody can process obvious sarcasm.

Somehow it’s fine for people to say “you have no expectation of privacy in public” when it’s Flock cameras tracking adults, but not when it’s kids.
