    - Okay I don't know what the business is, so hear me out. I'll go $50 for 1% PLUS, I'll help advertise and bring in more money. -- nm - sycor Jul 19, 12:59
    - That would value the company at $2k. I think your valuation is low considering their margins. I'll offer $100 for 1%! -- nm - oblique Jul 19, 12:57
    - $25 for 1%. -- nm - Spawn Jul 19, 12:56

- well, technically it hit her house and bounced and hit her. I say it doesn't count :) -- nm - oblique Jul 19, 12:47
- “suspected”? -- nm - hollywood big shot Jul 19, 12:46

  - This. I won't have a home assistant that's listening all the time or taking video or whatever. Nope. Not happening. -- nm - Krusty Jul 19, 12:20 4
    - It's mainly used to outside the home. Like security cameras to keep on eye on your property. -- nm - sycor Jul 19, 12:21 3
      - A security camera that I control and where the feed goes to my home only would be fine. I don't want anything being sent to a company outside my home. - Krusty Jul 19, 12:42 2
        
        That's the point of Frigate. It's all local. -- nm - sycor Jul 19, 12:44 1
        
        The home assistant add-on part made me think it was something you used in conjunction with Alexa or some similar device. - Krusty Jul 19, 12:55
