guy who came to clean my car has a friend overseas who runs a business around a glitch that lets you bypass Ring's monthly payments while still using the platform. charges a one-off fee and you get a lifetime account without paying. I lol'd hard. couldn't happen to a nicer company.

back in Ye Olden Days there were people at the local market that could chip your PS1 or give you an address to write to if you wanted knock-off satellite TV smartcards, and some bloke down the pub who could reflash your cable modem's customer ID to get faster internet for free.

I love that this same cottage grey/black-market industry still exists but for online services now, and people are happy to do it because greedy rentseeking pricks made everything a subscription.
