A correction: apparently you can still download DRM-free comics, it's just not obvious.
Go to Account, Comixology settings, View your Comixology books, and then there's a Backups tab where you can download DRM-free comics as CBZ or PDF.
So that's good. They didn't actually kill all the DRM-free downloads after all.
However, there doesn't seem to be an easy way to tell a book is available as a DRM-free download before you buy it like there was on the old Comixology site. You can generally make an educated guess based on the publisher -- all Image and Valiant comics are DRM-free, all DC, Marvel, Dark Horse, and Archie books have DRM -- but there are cases where it's hard to tell, especially with licensed books. IDW, Fantagraphics, and Boom all publish some books that have DRM and some that don't.

So this is unsurprising, but still makes my skin crawl.
From an article about how the cops (or anyone) can access your Amazon Ring data.

For the broad legitimate criticism of Google, they do (or did, when I worked there) at least require warrants and have a legal team review the warrants to push back on overly broad requests.

Yeah, I was reading up on Ring alternatives the other day (because my gran bought one and I was trying to talk her out of it) and what I read about the Nest cams was largely "Yeah, we know it's Google, but there's been no evidence to date that they're sharing people's video with the police, or anybody else."
Their needs are pretty simple so I wound up going with the Wyze indoor/outdoor, which takes a microSD card and whose cloud storage capabilities are optional.
