Ring appears in smart-home privacy, competition, and connectivity discussions
Bloomberg Tech used Ring as a benchmark for Apple’s planned smart-home reboot, saying Apple’s HomeKit had performed poorly compared with Ring, Google, and others.[1]
Waveform discussed a user giving Meta’s AI access to Ring cameras to check whether a truck package had arrived, framing it as a convenience-versus-privacy tradeoff.[2]
The WAN Show addressed a listener’s Ring device disconnecting on newer MLO Wi-Fi networks, with Linus Sebastian attributing similar problems to some cheaper or older chipsets.[3]
Across the shows, Ring is treated differently: Bloomberg Tech presents it as a smart-home competitor, Waveform as a privacy example, and The WAN Show as a connectivity problem.[2][1][3]

“Yeah, sure. I got quite a few in here. Why do things disconnect and only start working on MLO Wi-Fi networks? First my printers, then cable box, then Ring device. Is this a regulation thing for US or Florida?”
