Took me awhile to figure this out when I was first considering getting their stuff. Basically, you need some kinda server on the network running their programs to manage their devices. The “cloud” devices include this capability, otherwise you’ll need either their cloud key or to set up your own server running it. It’s definitely poorly explained and the weird pricing schemes don’t make any sense really.
OneDrive usurping my folders and data, siphoning it to their servers without my permission (just like a virus) is exactly why I switched to Linux. It’s such a breath of fresh air not feeling like every update is trying to monetize and enshittify my computer more
That is how this works. You don’t sieg heil twice in a row on accident.

Never questioned this until about 15 seconds ago…
Or you go out with a friend to do something planned, and they suddenly have a couple extra stops to make or people to talk to etc that weren’t in your social energy budget so you’re left running an unplanned deficit
Wonder how good Google is feeling about that 60 million dollar deal to scrape all of Reddits wisdom
Hah I didn’t even need a dating app for that
Wait, is that why I can’t do 4k144 on my desktop?! I never tried switching between HDMI/DP for that because they’re both capable of the bandwidth needed as far as the spec goes - I thought the issue was Gnome or something
To drive us mad
If only there could’ve been a way to know if a video is helpful and worthwhile or not at a glance…
I’m not actually sure what happens if you have multiple cloud devices on the same network, but I think the cloud versions often have some impact to the capabilities. The routers might have less VPN throughput in the cloud version, or only able to run one or two of their services at once instead of all since they’re also tasked with routing etc, don’t remember the specifics but stuff like that. It’s also confusing as they have lines like the dream machine that combine multiple capabilities into one, and it ends up being a mess trying to figure out what exactly is the best route to go. Frustrating but I’ll say the equipment itself has been quite nice spare for the occasionally buggy software
