If you are a swe, be mindful of what you say. You have your own bugs. They have their own. Wyze is a small company that is trying to stay afloat, and kudos to them for fixing it. I am sure they will have more bugs going forward, but each one will make them stronger.

Cheer for the improvements, not blame them for bugs.

Even non-swe people have bugs in work they do. Banks do mistakes all the time.

The tone of your response is enough to tell me what i am dealing with.

Basically noone should trust you with anything critical (privacy, health, security), which is funny, because that is like 98% of software. Good to know.

Banks do mistake: micro scale: errors in transfers, account closures for wrong reason, identity theft related problems; on a macro scale: exchanges going down, large scale bank going offline nationwide.

I am wary of people that claims they are against bugs. It happens, get over it
