Guess what time it is… Meh the community has decided our next mission is to make you sell meh t shirts again. We want to represent our communities in the most average way we can, you know you wanted another movement to happen so here it is. I will post this every day until the t shirt sale happens.
@reclaimercube A MEH shirt with a CAT! 'Cuz MEH and CAT both have exactly 3 letters in 'em. And each of those letters are from exactly the same alphabet. 1 shirt… 1 MEH… 1 Cat… 3 Again! Order a trio and… 3 shirt, 3 MEH, 3 Cat… 3 + 3 + 3 = 9! Cats loooove 9 Lives canned food! Obsessively. MEH shirts are obsessively desired to accentuate the freshly shined Cheshire Cat smiles of those who recently purchased 3 damn fancy toothbrushes. MEH CAT ~ Numbers and Savory Sliced Chicken with Salmon don’t lie!
What happened to the products you guys are offering lately? I’d really like to see something just once that even makes me consider taking a a second look. ! It’s been so long that my monthly VMP membership fees I could’ve saved on each month (if I had canceled a long time ago, but didn’t only because I apparently couldn’t opt back in) could’ve actually added up to enough to purchase something elsewhere that’s actually cool… even if at full price by now. Also, what’s up with the savings? It just doesn’t seem like the deals are even that great? I notice a lot of other people on here pointing how many of these “meh items” can actually be purchased for much less elsewhere. Even directly through Amazon at times… Seriously? What gives? What happened. I’d even settle for viewing an option for yet another sub-par Bluetooth speaker I don’t even need at this point! How about some actual cool deals or better yet, just hook a guy up with some actual deals worth considering that are decent or at least send out some Swag as consolation given the circumstances. Oh and btw… Scrolling through the past deals is really depressing since all it serves is confirmation that you haven’t actually missed out on anything!
@MehBeNextTime “What happened to the products you guys are offering lately?”
Wait, you’ve been on here for over two years and you’ve only bought 4 items ? When you say lately do you mean like two years?
@SoftAsFur if you saw the turd discussion, @snapster seemed to relish the idea of a turd on an-ex-VMPr. And even more so, the more mehtizens griped about it.
If the product/price mix doesn’t improve to something closer to the first 18-24 month pattern, it will bother me not to suffer a turd… after the Casemates kickstarter 1/2 off VMP deal expires near the beginning of 2019.
@mwarren they are on my short list of replacements for the izons (didn’t use them much, but very handy when needed). might buy a couple after I check the deals this week at the wholesale-ish warehouses.
Those izons were like 2 for 44 and we got 3 years of free uploaded storage so pretty close to the same price… here is hoping wyze remains operating for at least 3 years lol.
You appear to place very little importance on firmware… and cloud service.
Have you used both cameras?
The Wyze cameras work great, the app works great, and the Wyze Amazon AWS cloud service isn’t relying on whatever unidentified cloud service Xiaomi uses.
@RedOak I’m sure it does, but for a lot of people’s purposes, like using it with Home Assistant, you have to flash the Wyze camera back to the Xiaomi firmware to get it to work correctly. I’m all for good software, but not when it’s exclusive.
Geez…rough crowd…seems like some other website has been practically giving away gallons upon gallons of hater-ade because these people sound like they are beer-bonging the stuff!
@fastharry@sicc574 It was just a couple of months ago meh gave away a metric fuckton of Fukos. All you had to do basically was participate a little in the forum.
@fastharry@sicc574@therealjrn also for what it’s worth (in my case nothing because it was free) this camera isn’t terrible. I won’t go as far as to say it’s outstanding, but it’s acceptable.
OK now this is novel - don’t know if it is coincidence or if Amazon is up to something. Often I click on the amazon link listed under the meh deal (I also have an amazon account since I have ordered a few things from there in the past). Well today Amazon, at 7:47am, has sent me an email listing a pile of security cameras. I have noticed that at times Amazon lowers the price on what meh is selling shortly after meh puts up their new daily product, but this, if it isn’t coincidence, indicates to me that they are starting to view meh as now a big enough/troublesome enough bug to be squashed.
@sp3ar I ran into this issue with my SimpliSafe web camera. There’s a workaround on their forums somewhere that eventually worked for me, but it took forever. I think it involved taking a screen shot of the QR code rather than having the camera scan the one in the app.
@sp3ar did it just beep and do nothing? I recall it being a bit of a todo to get mine connected … I THINK (but I’m not sure) i ended up using a different app than the one that was recommended
I received a beaker logo shirt (random size) in with the meh pillows. It fit my teenage daughter perfectly. It would have been horrible on me as you could tell from pictures I posted of me before.
I got 3 of these in fuku boxes during the birthday week. I wasn’t able to get any of them to connect because the 2.4ghz signal isn’t compatible with my network. No thanks.
So this damn WiFi cameras have taken the place of speaker docks. By the way I live in Wilmington NC and I would like the world to know the Mayor of Wilmington Saffo and his buddies in the posh Land Fall neighborhood where the first to get power back. I live in the middle class Piney Woods neighborhood and I am now on day 6th with out power. I know I have a lot of loud mouth friends here on Meh.com so please spread the word. I please never move to Wilmington NC it is a hell hole with hurricanes.
@dino2269 Say it isn’t so that the Democrat Bill Saffo made sure his nest was feathered before the good, hard-working members of his community. I’m shocked. I’m dismayed. What a surprise.
@dino2269 Could be many factors contributing to when power returns to various neighborhoods. Was the damage as extensive? What was the state of the infrastructure in both areas before the storm? Are both areas equally accessible?
So far not loving this purchase. I am using the 2.4 ghz connection on my router, following all instructions to the letter and can’t connect. I’ve tried all three methods of connecting with no luck. Been “waiting a moment” to connect to chat help for 30 minutes.
These worked for a brief period that failed to connect remotely. The company replaced them with a model that did not support a memory card. Eventually, all 4 that I purchased failed in less than 6 months. Save your money

@reclaimercube
MEH Shirts!
@jst1ofknd @reclaimercube Feed the beast
@jst1ofknd @therealjrn I feel like Zeke over here. I don’t care how many days in a row. Meh wants 500? Meh is getting 500 days of my forum vomit.
@jst1ofknd @reclaimercube That is abundantly clear. Your toothbrushes shipped today.
@jst1ofknd @therealjrn OMG I CAN’T WAIT TO POST IN OUR TOOTHBRUSH REVEAL THREAD I LOVE MEH
@reclaimercube A MEH shirt with a CAT! 'Cuz MEH and CAT both have exactly 3 letters in 'em. And each of those letters are from exactly the same alphabet. 1 shirt… 1 MEH… 1 Cat… 3 Again!

@reclaimercube I want a meh shirt that says “I bought candy corn at Meh”
@jst1ofknd @reclaimercube @therealjrn you realize, of course, that you are now required to start said toothbrush reveal thread when the time comes
@reclaimercube @wstull1 I want a Meh shirt that says “ I still have most of the candy corn I bought from Meh”
I reeeeally want another Mediocre shirt (the grey one with the Mediocre beaker logo).

@MehBeNextTime I’ve been telling them his for 6 weeks…Not the same site it was 6 months ago…nice job bringing it out though…
@MehBeNextTime The only reason I have not canceled my VMP mehmbership is because I don’t want a Turd next to my user name!
@MehBeNextTime @SoftAsFur oh…i was wondering what all the turds meant.
@MehBeNextTime “What happened to the products you guys are offering lately?”

Meh! Get a WyzeCam instead; $19.99, 1080p, and includes a 2 week cloud video storage buffer (motion clips).
I don’t know the specifics of Wyze’s business model, but so far it seems to be:
@mwarren great little cameras. And they have micro SD slots so you can loop record or alert clip record locally.
And the cloud service is via encrypted AWS (Amazon), not in China.
Hopefully those ex-Amazon employees at the startup have plans for Wyze that last more then a few months.
@mwarren they are on my short list of replacements for the izons (didn’t use them much, but very handy when needed). might buy a couple after I check the deals this week at the wholesale-ish warehouses.
Those izons were like 2 for 44 and we got 3 years of free uploaded storage so pretty close to the same price… here is hoping wyze remains operating for at least 3 years lol.
@mwarren they are just putting their firmware on Xiaomi cameras. The V2 is the Xiaomi Mijia Dafang Smart Home Camera.
@the_inevitable
You appear to place very little importance on firmware… and cloud service.
Have you used both cameras?

@RedOak @the_inevitable There’s also open source firmware available, so it doesn’t rely on anyone’s cloud anything.
I haven’t found the Xiaomi version cheaper, either.
I bought a Wyze version to play with the firmware, but it’s working fine with theirs.
Geez…rough crowd…seems like some other website has been practically giving away gallons upon gallons of hater-ade because these people sound like they are beer-bonging the stuff!
@sicc574 giving away…a concept that seems to be lost on MEH the last couple of months.
@fastharry @sicc574 It was just a couple of months ago meh gave away a metric fuckton of Fukos. All you had to do basically was participate a little in the forum.
@fastharry @sicc574 @therealjrn and, in fact, I received one of these cameras in said batch of fukos.
/how meta
@fastharry @sicc574 @therealjrn also for what it’s worth (in my case nothing because it was free) this camera isn’t terrible. I won’t go as far as to say it’s outstanding, but it’s acceptable.
Would these be any good for a small office? Wondering if I can catch my stapler thief.
@actionPacked
@actionPacked @therealjrn Must find… A Missing Red Stapler shirt would complete me.
@actionPacked paint it with silver nitrate solution in places you know not to touch.
The thief will have very black stains on their hands that will take weeks to wear off.
@actionPacked @RedOak This list is a source of all sorts of obscure, but useful, bits of information (grin).
My wallet doesn’t like ‘enhanced’ anything.
Hey heads up if any of you are using the izon cameras meh sold from back when, their servers will cease to operate Sept 30, 2018.
I am not saying the ones being sold here are a good replacement, just a heads up if you still use the izons.
No idea if we can re-purpose them once servers are offline.
@thismyusername Yes, yes they can Latey McLateFace.
Meh used to be so cool.

Meh I got this in my last fuku and it won’t connect to my phone using their QR code system …
@sp3ar I ran into this issue with my SimpliSafe web camera. There’s a workaround on their forums somewhere that eventually worked for me, but it took forever. I think it involved taking a screen shot of the QR code rather than having the camera scan the one in the app.

Meh want beaker logo too. I’ll take two
@meh770
I received a beaker logo shirt (random size) in with the meh pillows. It fit my teenage daughter perfectly. It would have been horrible on me as you could tell from pictures I posted of me before.
@jst1ofknd @meh770 a beaker logo shirt? Lucky! I want an Irk plushie
Lots of complaints on the Amazon about these losing wifi connection and failing to reconnect. Thanks, but no thanks.
I got 3 of these in fuku boxes during the birthday week. I wasn’t able to get any of them to connect because the 2.4ghz signal isn’t compatible with my network. No thanks.
@capguncowboy if you ever wabt to get rid of them(if you haven’t already) let me know. I’m interested.
WiFi it
Meh! My 1080p Wyze cam is awesome and only $20. I have a feeling Meh will bring these back at a lower price.
So far, Meh is 0 for 2 in cameras that actually work with my (or my wife’s) phone.

@dino2269 @medz And if it’s a tony neighborhood, they might have underground utilities, which are repaired much more quickly.
@dino2269 @therealjrn Yeah, I also saw the college campus had no outages likely because they have their own power plant or underground utilities…
@dino2269 hope you didn’t flood
So far not loving this purchase. I am using the 2.4 ghz connection on my router, following all instructions to the letter and can’t connect. I’ve tried all three methods of connecting with no luck. Been “waiting a moment” to connect to chat help for 30 minutes.
These cameras are the worst. They keep going offline or they have a completely black picture. They are not easy to get back online.
These worked for a brief period that failed to connect remotely. The company replaced them with a model that did not support a memory card. Eventually, all 4 that I purchased failed in less than 6 months. Save your money
