  • They have a whole division for pushing HOA’s to partner with them and “keep the places you call home safe.” So it’s not even just Governments you need to wonder about, HOA’s can just install them. So if you can’t find anything in Government documents, it’s entirely possible a nearby HOA did it.

    Flock Safety’s HOA security cameras help deter and solve crime, protect residents, and build trust with 24/7 tech that works with law enforcement to keep your neighborhood safe and connected.

    Optional law enforcement access gives your board confidence with faster response times and alerts for known threats—while keeping full control in your community’s hands

    Flock Safety’s solar-powered, LTE-connected neighborhood camera solutions install anywhere—no wiring, no utility bills, no IT headaches. We handle setup, maintenance, and support.

    That’s some of the sales pitch on their site about why HOA’s should get them.


  • I really question why I would choose this over a 5060 Ti gaming laptop or PowerSpec rig for roughly the same price as the 2tb w/controller option. I guess it looks good, but I can use creative cabinet placement to hide a tower or laptop if I need to. For now, I am not sure it’s for me, but it looks good, although maybe not that controller.

    I fully expect the next-next Gen Consoles to be similarly priced due to the whole shortages thing for the AI Gold rush.

    I also can’t wait to see it torn down and to find out how repairable it is.





  • So, they increased the price to buy into their ecosystem with a second price hike this year, now they are asking a grand for a handheld, they must really want out of gaming, I know the tariffs suck but this just comes across as too much.

    It’s $999 plus taxes in most places, then you need Game Pass Ultimate to stream games to this thing, something they are using as a selling point, that’s a couple hundred per year and like any streaming service subject to sudden increases. I just don’t understand where they thing people are getting this money, there are signs people have already started pulling back.

    The Series S which was under powered according to a lot of devs even on release, is now 400 dollars for 500GB, 450 for 1TB, then the Series X now ranges 600 Digital, 650 Disc, 730 2TB, 800 2TB special color. As someone that has preferred Xbox since the OG, I think they’ve lost it, at least for now the PS Pro is 750 and objectively the better.
