The latest Raspberry Pi cameras have decent sensors, variants with night vision are available. Axis makes reliable, network attached cameras.
Open-source software like Frigate or ZoneMinder exists.

Still, would you really want that? A half-baked device in your network, a device you suspect would constantly betray you, if given the chance?
I personally can't imagine getting used to that. I'd despise the device (and myself probably).
It can't be enabled by Microsoft since the tile is only a link opening the Copilot website using the TV's browser - it's a URL shorcut.
Don't spread any misinformation. The price for the theoretical part is 25€.
If you take the test 128 times, that comes out to 3200€, a number very similar to the one mentioned in the article.
The article does not talk about the total cost of obtaining a driver's license.
Oh no, not my holotypical occlupanid!
I could see it if it was a screen I get to control, akin to a smart mirror. Fridge door would be a pretty good surface since I'm guaranteed to look at it a couple of times each day.
Other than that, push notifications if the door is open? That's about the max when it comes to usefulness I can imagine. Is that a problem that requires a connected device? No, probably not.
However, depending on the model range, it becomes difficult to even get a model that doesn't have the "smart" features. No one can force you to connect the device though (yet).
Okay, if this is going to be a whole project you probably want a commercial supplier. Based on your geo-preference, one recommendation would be Formulor:
https://www.formulor.de/material/mylar
You can upload your own SVGs for laser cutting and engraving, the whole process is rather automated. They offer templates for Inkscape or whatever the matching, closed-source Adobe product is (Illustrator maybe?)
I linked the mylar material since that would be my recommendation for stencils used for e. g. painting, spraying etc. Mylar hits an excellent balance between cost, handling and durability.
Formulor is probably not the cheapest supplier, but it's reliable and instant with no customer support agents involved and requires no quotes and approvals being sent back and forth.
How many do you need?
Sure, but you just said the same thing as I did. Do you think you can trust brands? Or that any company actually cares for their customers, as long as they can get away with it? Or at all, if the fines are smaller than the profits they gain from exploitation?
The solution is what you mentioned: independent testing (and systematic changes, but that is a whole other topic)
Sunscreen works, just not if you buy it from shady manufacturers that try to maximize their profits and care about nothing else.
If only. My wife's phone is affected by a Google battery recall. You basically get $50 of shut-up money and get to live with a software update that nerfs your phone to an almost unusable state, or you can try and have a local, approved repair shop replace the faulty battery.
We're living in a large city, there is exactly one approved store available. You can't contact them by email, no one has picked up the phone in weeks. She is close taking the $50.

Would you do this mainly because you want to figure out if you can, or mostly due to the 40€ price difference?
