Yeah, this was uplifting! It’s kind of terrifying to think that she could just feel abandoned and anxious 5 minutes after talking to her children. But this looks like a good counter to that.
I hear digital photo frame advertisements on podcasts all the time and they all trumpet how easy it is to send pictures to relatives and friends! My first thought is: what happens to the frame if you stop paying? Worse , what if they go bankrupt, get bought out, change terms, etc? I’m sure you won’t be able to send pictures anymore and that everything’s locked down and proprietary…
I have an older frame that has an email option so people can send photos to the frame.
I bought it because it supports both USB thumbdrive and connects to SAMBA shares for photos, too, which is how I use it. Never even signed up for the service, and I’ve blocked internet access for it (bastardin’ bastards designed the network stack to require DNS entries, picks).
The setup is annoyingly clunky, but once setup it does work fine.
My next one will start with a Raspberry Pi, then it’s just a generic Linux box.
