I do the same and it works well. But do you see the Reolink app hammering domains of the form p#p#.reolink.com? I have to kill the app between uses it it drains my phone's battery because of this.
I've never looked at what the Android app is doing on the network, but maybe I should. I usually just keep it open for a few minutes when I'm waiting for a delivery or I hear someone ring the doorbell, so I'm not too worried about it piping lots of video to Reolink HQ. I haven't noticed much of a battery drain having used it earlier in the day.
*Disclosure: I run a preprint server that "competes" with TechRxiv at https://engrxiv.org.
I'm a little salty about TechRxiv/IEEE as IEEE has a copyright transfer policy that permits posting preprints at approved servers. I applied to have engrXiv recognized as an approved server but received no response. Shortly after that TechRxiv was launched. Currently the only approved servers are still ArXiv and TechRxiv.
Agree on all this. I recently switched three lines from Ting to Mint. On Ting the three lines were sharing 1GB of data without issue. Now we each have 4GB for only a couple of bucks extra per month total with taxes and such factored in and it just feels so extravagant. I also just got a new phone after over 5 years with my last one. I generally don't spend more than $200 on a new phone (Pixel 7 this time around) so I'm not in that demographic of looking for a new device every couple of years.
Reminds me how the restaurant Earl of Sandwich, which was founded in 2004 in Orlando, puts established in 1762 on their website and the front of some of their buildings [1]. Just because the "sandwich" was invented in 1762.
I'm the director of engrXiv. It would be great to have a reliable archive of the server contents separate from COS. It would be pretty easy to scrape all of the files. There is a regularly updated CSV of all of the contents of engrXiv here: https://osf.io/ns9yr/
The files can be downloaded directly by adding '/download' to the engrxiv URL for each preprint.
