It’s a balance to hit in article sharing communities too.
Too much leniency, and you just end up with people posting DMG articles, and tiny un-sourced blogs with snazzy titles.
Too tough, and you end up spending your entire life justifying why various borderline sources are not suitable.
imperial measurements have been legally defined in reference to SI units for decades
This is the important bit.
Effectively, we are metric, but display things using the old units sometimes.
And you sometimes get people ordering lumber for the first time giving bad reviews because they feel they’ve been cheated out of some wood.
I just assume I’ll do 45.45 MPG, then I’m pleasantly surprised when the fuel bill is lower than expected.
I end up doing a lot of lazy maths, and remembering rough numbers.
45MPG? That’s about 10 miles per litre.
8 inches? Eh, 20cm.

Having the inch-fractions to mm table on the back of a ruler is very useful when using old drill bits and spanners.
I use them, and I love them.
They’re banned from the internet, and never complain.
I use both SD cards inside the cameras, and dumps over SFTP.

If you want to access streams over a VPN, make sure that you configure the IP addresses manually in the app, rather than letting it auto-find (took me a while to work this out).
Doorbell cam: Lovely bit of kit. Button press and person detection hooks in nicely with HASS things.
I really like being able to answer delivery people (and be silly with visitors).
2-way audio works well in the app, I keep meaning to try integrating it with HASS now the latest version has capability baked in.
810A: Decent picture quality, the only fly in the ointment is that it uses H265 for full res, and a lot of open source things don’t officially support it.
510: Good value, and decent quality image. There is a firmware floating around that adds pet detection features too.
Yep. Damn Wizards infiltrated the UK commercial media a decade ago, and they never left.
