I run a few cams and an NVR locally. I've provided my neighbors and the police with videos when requested. No way I'd let them just have a live feed or unfettered access to the recordings.

Much of the AI we encounter is going to be poorly implemented and abused from now until forever. Don't make the mistake of dismissing the tech because idiots and jerks implement it poorly.

As I understood ReBar is supposed to help with that, but reading now I suppose it doesn't?

I most use my compressed audio files on micro sd cards with portable speakers. In that use case the extra audio quality is wasted due to poor audio equipment and the compression is welcome because the cards are relatively small and many of the players don't support the largest card varieties. Also I started my collection in the 90's so I was already committed to mp3.

Once they have a profile on the dating site they'll be swept away by a swarm of horny men. If you're the only one hitting on them at some inappropriate place your chances are better.

I usually upgrade when there are deals. With subsidized trade ins for new releases it's been inexpensive to move through the Pixel line for several years. Also using an MVNO instead of Verizon postpaid is so much cheaper than I used to spend it's easier to justify more spend on HW.

I used to live and work in South Lake, them moved to Stateline when the market went up and my landlord kicked us out and sold. Stateline got too expensive for me in 2000. Couldn't find an affordable apartment that accepted cats after my apartment was cleared to make way for a more expensive complex.

When I was broke I at a ton of Pasta Luigi brand mac and cheese bought in cases from a warehouse club. I think it was about $.20 a box maybe even less. Not saying it's good, but it's damn cheap.

Taco Bell food is delicious when it's done decently. Sadly the ones near me can't handle that.

Dishonest computer parts are the worst.

In 2024 I'll choose between Biden and Trump and vote. The winner will likely be chosen based on votes in a state far away from me. My choice has exactly 0 impact on the future.

And I said nothing because this argument is tedious. I guess it will be my fault for saying nothing but at least I get to avoid this painful argument.

As a sysadmin I have gotten such requests directly from cops/feds and/or impersonators. Our policy was to forward all of those to our legal department and only help once I had explicit instructions to. No exceptions.

Using Windows 10 as a daily driver the only time I've had BSOD in the last few years is when I had a PSU go bad. If it still happened as frequently as it did it win 98 I'd be more upset about it.

Amazon dumps it's heavy packages and hard last miles on their partners. Not surprised it's unprofitable and problematic, if it wasn't Amazon would do it themselves.
