Unable to set waypoints on brand new Wyze Pan Cam v4

Exactly as the title says, the posted video screenshot shows what's been happening – repeatedly – for two days now. I don't have any network connectivity issues doing anything else with this camera. Firmware is up-to-date. It's not a WiFi signal issue, because this cam replaces a v3 pan cam that went tits-up last week that never had connection issues, and it's physically located less than 20 feet from my WAP. Also shouldn't be a power issue, I've run power up to my tower, and I'm using the stock equipment/cable that came with this camera inside a weatherproof panelbox.

This is very frustrating!

What the hell, Wyze?

This is the third time this weekend/week, and it's only Monday! I've confirmed it's not my network, everything else is connected to the internet just fine...

EDIT: 4 hours later, and everything is back online, but now I have a new problem. Seems this outage somehow bricked the MicroSD cards in 2 of my 3 Wyze Pan V3 cams? Ironically, I just replaced the card in my tower cam a month ago, right before leaving for vacation, and it is now toast. That, or the cameras themselves are no longer recognizing the cards. MicroSD cards are Wyze branded 128GB. I have one extra, so I'll swap it with the one that's easy to reach and see what happens.

Okay, my turn! What kind of cloud is this? It's the only one in my sky right now.

I already know, but I want creative and/or silly answers. Serious answers are also welcome, they're just not as fun.

Not sure what's going on here

It appears that something beaconing as a U2 spy plane was jiggling around in a weird, very tight grid pattern at about 100 ft in the canyon right below OHSU in Portland, Oregon last evening. I myself was on a flight heading home from the Bay Area and wanted to see which direction traffic was approaching into PDX when it caught my eye. It seems to be gone today.

I wish this would stop, but I'll take the free money!

After my Mom passed away and we sold her house, I've had it set up with the Post Office that anything sent to her old address with her name on it gets forwarded to my address. This came in the mail today...

I really wish they would send something of actual valuable, and not just this old and moldy pocket change...

It was an accident! I should probably feel bad, but I don't...

I took a friend out for his birthday over the weekend. We went out for Indian food at his favorite restaurant in town with a fairly large group (9) so they had already added an 18% gratuity to our bill. When it came time to pay, I took the whole bill, and as the gal rang up my card with her handheld POS thingie, I went to tap the screen (prematurely, apparently) and managed to "accidentally" hit the no tip button on the screen with the corner of my card. It then immediately processed and closed the transaction.

​

I'm just glad I didn't accidentally tap the other side of the screen and end up with an unwilling 50% tip or something stupid like that. In the end I guess it worked out fine. Still though, I learned a neat little trick, and something to be careful of in the future.

Wyze plugs offline again, most have failed in the ON position, just as I'm crawling into bed.

I don't understand why this keeps happening, but it's about the 3rd or 4th time this year. My network checks out fine, and all my cams are (currently) working properly, but now I either have to climb out of bed and wander around the house resetting all these plugs manually, or just leave them until morning, with the lights burning electrons all night long...

​

And still no firmware updates for these things?

New app sleep tracking is absolute trash, very inaccurate

I've had an Inspire 3 for a couple of years now, and the old FitBit app did a pretty good job accurately recording my sleep. This new Google Health app is terrible at it. If I get up early to use the bathroom, then go back to bed after only a couple of minutes, the app stops recording my sleep at that point, and completely ignores anything that comes afterward, regardless of how long it was.

​

Is anyone else experiencing this?

​

I'm aware that I could simply go in and manually edit my sleep stop time (I think, can I still do that now?) but I shouldn't have to, I never needed to before.

Just an FYI: Ace Hardware spikes their potting soil with gravel.

Title basically says it all. I assume they do this so the bags weigh out properly, but they can still undercut on actual product. I will be avoiding this in the future. Just a heads up for anyone here who hasn't already found this out the hard way.

If you can afford it, folks should put $86.47 worth of fuel in their tanks every time they have to fill up, take a photo of the numbers of the pump, and post them online. Like this, for me, yesterday:
