Cool, it worked, thanks.
Probably junk with spyware, but will work plenty well for a 3D printer monitoring cam.

Amazon plans to roll out a program that affects these cams, and those 'personal assistance' thingies, security cams, etc... Whatever they have that connects to the internet.
I think it's called "next door".
What it does is ties everyone together.
If your wifi goes out, it will piggyback you off of the neighbor's wifi.
Opposite, if their wifi goes out.
You'll actually have to find the settings and intentionally turn them off, if you want to opt out. They are going to do it automatically.
You can imagine the possible security problems. Let alone letting your neighbor use your wifi for free and without a password...
Best I can explain it. You'll have to google if you want more info.
I don't have anything of the sort.

I don't have anything of the sort. This isn't one of those. This is just a shitty USB webcam. Good for attaching to a Raspberry pi, for example.

I have no idea what I'll use a cheap Chinese webcam for.
But fuck it, I'll take one, too. Might make feet pics easier.

Considering the price, I don't think we can be too upset about long shipping... Plus, if it never shows up, we've lost nothing, IMO.

Ours is supposed to show up on the 23rd as well. Not holding my breath for what we'll get, but as pointed out, we've really lost nothing but a bit of time if it's a no-show or useless crap.

My picture is a USB charger, not webcam. Oh well. Not like any of us really need them. My new laptop has a pretty good webcam already, and it even has a little shutter to keep the NSA from watching me jerk off.

Ditto.
Shipping from China, no doubt.
I've messaged twice about tracking - no response.

I don't have anything of the sort. It's called "Sidewalk". It's an Alexa and Ring setting. Disable it in one, it's disabled in both. They announced it was coming about 6 months ago. Checked the webcam listing today; Currently unavailable. We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock.
