That is a good point. I am not sure why the AI stuff isn't yet exposed in the normal settings. I am hoping that was an oversight that will be corrected. Meanwhile....

I wish I could mod you up, big time.

Probably the last we see of privacy will now be totally destroyed by this effort to "save the children" by ruining the Internet instead of forcing children to use restricted DEVICES.

>"So we'll fuck up the UI and the extensions, add unwanted crap (translation, AI, pocket, VPN, etc.) and, generally, force them to find alternatives."

This is getting so old.

1) They didn't "F* up" the UI, they changed it to be more like the other browsers. I don't like that, but a lot of it is customizable (far more than other browsers). And it is no WORSE than others.

2) They didn't "F* up" the extensions. They made necessary changes MANY YEARS AGO in order to roll out the much faster and threaded Quantum version of the renderer. The major/important extensions were all available either immediately or shortly after. Nothing else has broken extensions, since. Now go see what Google is trying to do with destroying ad-blocking extensions if you want actual examples of "F'ing up" extensions.

3) "Unwanted crap" was all *OPTIONAL*, every single one of those things could be turned off. And all of it was/is clearly documented.

4) "Force them to find alternatives" is completely irrational. All the alternatives ARE CHROM*. They are all similar UI, all LESS configurable than Firefox, and don't have any additional extensions. None are significantly faster, efficient, or more secure, and most are also worse for privacy. All are less freedom-oriented, less community-driven, less committed to open standards, and many are practically forced on users by their stupid OS or by major companies being lazy. So give that a rest, please.

>"Firefox Survey Finds Only 16% Feel In Control of Their Privacy Choices Online

People who use Firefox are already in a group of people more likely to be concerned about privacy (and open standards). It is probably one of the reasons they use Firefox instead of chrom*, because there are more controls and options and isn't run by some big ad company or other corporation (Google, Microsoft, etc). So it doesn't surprise me that when one surveys that group, they will be more likely to feel less in control of their privacy.

Who needs school when we have TikTok?

Now that they've gotten rid of this woke DEI nonsense, they can spend 10x as much on some more wholesome and less-indoctrinating educational materials! /s

>":Roll Eyes: Would they kick their own babies out once they hit ten million?"

Their population is in DECLINE, like almost all Western nations. There is ZERO chance of that happening. They will very likely allow immigration, but with hard caps and based on their own criteria, not just anyone that wants in or crosses their borders without permission. Those criteria will likely be based on things like knowing the language, having valuable/compatible skills/education, already having family there, understanding and likelihood to assimilating to general Swiss values, etc.

>"What this really comes down to, like all immigration debates, is racism. They don't like the color of the skin or the religion of the immigrants."

And you couldn't be more WRONG.

Most people don't give a damn about the "color of the skin." What they care about is *CULTURE* which is a set of beliefs and the way people act. That is NOT "RACISM".

And not liking someone else's religion that wants to push alien values that are incompatible with most of the native citizens is, guess what, ALSO NOT "RACISM".

So do us all a favor and stop using the word "racism", it is so unbelievably overused and abused now, it means almost nothing.

>"Until recently the only way to access the cameras from mobile was through the cloud service, you could access the device over https directly but then it wouldnt let you view video if you were doing so on a mobile device."

No, you could also use a VPN and access it directly as well. Granted, MOST people that want to use the app (and it is certainly not required) will not have a problem with using a cloud login in the app just for notifications and to stream the video. That is very "normal" for most any platform. But the video and settings are still coming directly from your own physical box. Unifi's cloud is just directing and connecting you to your box own box. And that communication is all encrypted.

>"Their IPv6 support is also very poor, and there are a lot of networks using CGNAT for legacy service so inbound legacy traffic is not possible."

They have made lots of improvements in IPV6 in 2025. If you haven't seen their stuff in a year, you would be pretty amazed at how quickly things have advanced.

>"There is no option to configure IPv6 through the web interface"

Yes there is. But I can't speak on the details, since I don't use it. But I see the settings.

>"There's also no built in dynamic dns support which is needed if the ISP keeps changing your prefix."

Yes there is. I am using it now. That has been available in the web user interface for years, I think. When last did you last use/look at Unifi's gateway???

I don't think it's possible to make a less nuanced and less coherent argument than this. At best, you're telling on yourself.

>"any women "injected" by her husband is indistinguishable from a random woman with donated sperm."

Actually, that isn't quite true. There are subtle processes at work in couples choosing each other in unconscious ways. Some are based on smell, some on visual health cues. Interestingly, they tend to help make sure that they are genetically more "compatible" with each other. I don't know how effective it is, but I do remember reading about it more than once. One was really strange, it had to do with having women smell different men's worn shirts and describe what they feel, then compare to what various blood tests show.

>"The main limitation is that it requires you to use their NVR products"

It is true that Unifi cameras can't be used without running Unifi Protect. And there are many low-cost options for that. But Protect also fully supports RTSP, so you can send the video to something else and never even touch Protect (other than for setup), if you wish. For example, at work we send the video from all the Access door readers to our large Synology system where we store/archive/access the video with their NVR (Synology Surveillance Station).

And you can connect 3rd party ONVIF cameras to Protect, too, which is nice.

>"The unifi stuff leans heavily towards cloud, you can force it to do direct connections but its not the default"

That is not accurate. There is zero dependency on the "Cloud", other than if you want to install updates. Or if you optionally choose to use their cloud tools to gain remote access more easily. The login, the settings, the processing, the web server, the data, and all the video are all local.

Ubiquiti's signature feature is having everything local. It is one of several reasons they have become increasingly more and more popular.

As opposed to the open corruption on display with the President personally involving himself in making sure the deal resolves in favor of a major financial backer.

I suppose you have nothing to say about that.

>"I don't recognize that name, but I retired a few years ago and haven't really kept up with changes in the industry."

They have been around for many years. Parent is Samsung, I think. They also market under the name Wizenet, I think

>"Question out of random curiosity, do they have a tool for managing very large numbers of cameras?"

Yes

>"How long do they support their cameras?"

Seems like many years. They use security screws, metal enclosures, have alarm contacts, good documentation, full line of every kind of mount you would need, all the stuff a professional would expect. And they are NDAA approved, of course.

>"I've only seen two manufacturers who really understand that security cameras should actually be secure, Axis and Pelco."

I would add Hanwha to that list as well. Again, not cheap, but serious stuff.
